[Research Report Release] 49.0% of employees have not informed their workplace about their parents' caregiving. The reality of "hidden caregiving employees" spreading in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Regarding employees' aging parents, what should the company start with? First, please let us hear your thoughts.

Accompanying parents to medical appointments, phone calls during work hours, sudden early departures or absences. The number of employees facing the aging of their parents while working is increasing year by year, but about half of these employees do not communicate their situation to their workplace (according to our company survey). The "Elderly Care Consultation Center" is a consultation service for business owners, executives, and HR personnel who are troubled by employee resignations or leave of absence due to the aging of their parents. First, we would like to hear about your company's situation. We will work together to consider a suitable way to introduce an external consultation service where employees can seek advice independently of the company. ■ Features - External consultation service unrelated to the workplace: Employees can consult directly without going through the company or their supervisors, and the content of the consultation will not be shared with the company. - Risk assessment by specialized members: We analyze the consultation content and provide specific advice via email. - Early information organization: We help organize matters such as care certification, procedures, and financial management in advance to prevent sudden absences or resignations. The first consultation is free, and we provide nationwide support via email and online.

The Hino Smart Cabinet provided by Nichinichi Shimizu Machinery Co., Ltd. is a material management solution that allows for the management of factory tools and consumables like a vending machine. This system automates inventory management and ordering processes, preventing the risk of production stoppages due to stockouts and significantly reducing the burden of inventory tasks. The cabinet comes in various types, such as drawer-type and spiral-type, allowing for the proper storage of drills, measuring instruments, protective gear, and more according to their intended use. Furthermore, the history management function through user authentication accurately tracks "who took out what and when," contributing to loss prevention and cost reduction. Operating 24/7 with no maintenance required, it is introduced as an efficient tool to promote the digital transformation (DX) of factories.

To the site managers and safety and health personnel working alone at night or on holidays: We are accepting inquiries for demonstrations and site evaluations of the camera-free monitoring sensor "MotionCatch." 【We welcome the following inquiries】 - I want to understand the status of workers during small-scale operations at night or on holidays. - There are times when I am alone during equipment inspections and maintenance work. - I would like to consider a system to reduce the burden of patrols. 【What MotionCatch can do】 - It non-contactly detects presence, absence, and prolonged absence using millimeter-wave radar and AI. - Notifications of detected information are sent to the manager's PC or smartphone. - No cameras or video recording are used, ensuring consideration for the privacy of workers. - Simply install it on walls or ceilings. No wiring work is required (USB power supply and Wi-Fi). - The detection range of one unit is approximately 6m x 4m, making it suitable for monitoring in "room units" such as break rooms, solo workrooms, etc. We envision installation not for the entire factory, but for individual rooms such as break rooms, overnight rooms, and solo workrooms. Please consult us to confirm the conditions of the installation location. *No video is recorded. This is a product designed to support monitoring and is not a medical device.

CLT is a wood panel that is laminated with the fiber direction oriented perpendicular to each other. It is a material often used for walls and floors in buildings, but the Hyper CLT panel utilizes its characteristics in civil engineering sites. It adds a new option of wood to places where steel plates have traditionally been used, such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 panel weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them relatively lightweight, which makes installation, removal, and relocation easier depending on site conditions. In addition to the unique texture of wood, it is easier to suppress summer glare, radiant heat, and metallic sounds during vehicle operation, contributing to environmental considerations. The Hyper CLT panel is registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A." It can also be incorporated into proposals for the use of new technologies and wood in public works. Wooden panels, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, wooden lightweight panels. This is a new type of panel that expands the use of CLT, which was originally a building material, into the realm of civil engineering.
