Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

In civil engineering sites, there is an increasing demand to address various challenges such as labor shortages, heat countermeasures, and environmental considerations. Therefore, it is important to have the option of "new technologies" in addition to traditional methods. Hyper CLT mats are a new type of civil engineering mat that utilizes wood CLT. They are lightweight, easy to install and remove, and have excellent transport efficiency. Furthermore, they can provide unique advantages of wood, such as reducing summer glare and metal noise, as well as CO2 fixation. A significant point is that it is a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A."** In public works, it can be utilized as a new technology registered with NETIS for proposals involving creativity and environmental considerations. By incorporating new technologies, the scope of site development expands beyond just traditional steel plates. The Hyper CLT mats, which combine wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, are an option that creates new value for future sites.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
