Environmental measures start from the ground up | Reassessing the site with hyper CLT flooring.

When it comes to environmental measures on site, many may think of waste reduction and energy conservation. However, there are also issues that can be addressed by reconsidering the materials used daily, such as summer glare, metallic sounds during vehicle operation, burdens from material transportation, and consideration for the surrounding landscape. Hyper CLT mats are wooden lightweight mats made from CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) that is laminated with the wood fibers crossing each other. They can be considered for use in temporary roads, access routes, material yards, heavy machinery work areas, and worker pathways. Wooden mats are characterized by their ability to reduce glare and radiant heat compared to steel plates, and they are also easier to manage in terms of metallic sounds during vehicle operation. The 5×10 version weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 version weighs about 460 kg, making them relatively lightweight, which can lead to more efficient relocation and transportation depending on site conditions. Additionally, by utilizing wood, they can be proposed as part of CO₂ fixation and environmental consideration efforts. Hyper CLT mats are registered technologies with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) under the NETIS system. The NETIS registration number is "TH-250021-A". They can also be incorporated into the use of new technologies and creative ideas in public works. Wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, wooden lightweight mats. Environmental measures on site can begin not only with large equipment but also by changing the materials at our feet.

At the "Surface Modification Exhibition 2026" held at Tokyo Big Sight from November 18 (Wednesday) to 20 (Friday), the "Metal-PEEK Direct Bonding Technology," which combines Daicel Mirais's dissimilar material bonding technology "DLAMP" and our PEEK coating "PEEKCOAT," will be showcased. "DLAMP" is a technology that utilizes a special rough surface created by laser processing to firmly bond metal and resin directly without adhesives or fastening components. At this exhibition, you will be able to see samples that have been treated with our high-performance PEEK coating "PEEKCOAT." By imparting the excellent wear resistance, chemical resistance, and insulation properties of PEEK resin, this collaborative solution achieves further high performance and durability of the bonded joints. When you visit, please be sure to stop by the Daicel Mirais booth. We are also available for consultations regarding products and technologies at any time. ■ Exhibition Overview Exhibition Name: Surface Modification Exhibition 2026 Dates: November 18 (Wednesday) to 20 (Friday), 2026 Venue: Tokyo Big Sight Booth Number: East Hall 2 H-28 (within the Daicel Mirais booth) * "DLAMP" is a registered trademark of Daicel Mirais Co., Ltd.

As it gets colder, construction sites become more prone to wet surfaces due to morning dew, frost, and rain. When water or mud adheres to the surface of steel plates, there is a risk of workers' shoes slipping or vehicle tires spinning. This is where we would like to consider the wooden mat "Hyper CLT Mat" made from CLT (Cross Laminated Timber). The surface of the wood has a different texture compared to metal plates, making it a viable option for preventing slips on walkways and vehicle paths. By laying it down on temporary roads, delivery routes, heavy machinery work yards, material yards, and worker pathways, it reduces the area where workers walk directly on mud or gravel, making it easier to level uneven ground. The 5×10 mat weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 mat weighs about 460 kg, making them relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, or relocate depending on site conditions. The Hyper CLT Mat is a technology registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) under the NETIS system. The NETIS registration number is "TH-250021-A." It can also be incorporated into winter safety measures, the use of new technologies, and environmentally conscious proposals. Wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, lightweight wooden mats. Given the cold season at the site, why not reconsider safety measures from the ground up?

In construction and civil engineering sites, not only the task of transporting heavy materials but also walking multiple times within the site and standing for long periods can put a strain on workers' feet and backs. One solution to consider is the wooden mat "Hyper CLT Mat" made from CLT. By laying it down in worker pathways, temporary roads, access routes, and material yards, it reduces the area where workers walk directly on mud or gravel, making it easier to secure stable movement paths. Wooden mats have a different texture compared to metal steel plates, which helps to minimize the hard sensation and metallic sounds when walking. They also help to reduce glare and radiant heat during the summer, contributing to an improved working environment. The 5×10 mat weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 mat weighs about 460 kg, making them relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, or relocate depending on site conditions. The Hyper CLT Mat is a technology registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) under the NETIS system. The registration number is "TH-250021-A." It can also be incorporated into proposals for utilizing new technologies, improving construction environments, and considering environmental aspects. Wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, lightweight wooden mats. Improving the ground underfoot supports the daily lives of workers. The Hyper CLT Mat proposes a site design that takes workers into consideration.

CyberLink has optimized its AI facial recognition engine "FaceMe SDK" for the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processor. By leveraging Intel's integrated GPU (iGPU) and OpenVINO, it has achieved approximately 20 times the facial recognition processing speed compared to CPU processing on the same processor, and about 37 times faster compared to traditional 12th generation Intel Core processors. Furthermore, our verification results confirmed that the AI facial recognition system "FaceMe Security" can simultaneously process video from up to 59 cameras with a single mini PC. This optimization allows for the construction of a high-performance facial recognition system on compact devices without relying on large workstations equipped with dedicated GPUs, thereby supporting companies in the implementation of edge AI and the addition of facial recognition capabilities to existing facilities. 【Key Features】 - Achieves fast AI facial recognition without the need for a dedicated GPU - Can simultaneously process video from up to 59 cameras with a single mini PC - Contributes to reducing hardware costs and installation space - Supports a wide range of applications such as security monitoring and access control *Performance figures are based on our verification results.
