The new product "Electronic Sound Detection Stick Kirari MUSE (Japanese-English Trend Graph Version)" is now available! It quantifies and digitizes abnormal sound inspection, allowing anyone to check results on the spot. You can share "abnormal sounds" with recorded data and use it as educational material.

Case Study: Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation Ibaraki Plant

Mitsubishi Chemical's Ibaraki Plant has introduced Nabtesco Service's electronic listening stick "Kirari MUSE" to address the issues of personalization and technical succession in the "auditory inspection" of rotating equipment. By digitizing the detection of abnormal sounds in pumps and blowers, which had previously relied on the experience of skilled workers, we are promoting the digital transformation (DX) of maintenance operations. The main outcomes of the introduction are as follows: First, there is an improvement in diagnostic accuracy. By recording and visualizing abnormal sounds as digital data and comparing them with sound data from normal conditions, it has become possible to objectively assess signs of abnormalities based on clear indicators. Second, there is an enhancement in the efficiency of technical succession. The data measured with the electronic listening stick can be recorded without being influenced by surrounding sounds. The accumulated recording data is being used as educational material for younger operators. By sharing specific audio data, an environment has been established that efficiently cultivates the "ears of the field," allowing even less experienced staff to detect abnormalities early. As a result, stable plant operations and the transmission of technology to the next generation are being achieved simultaneously.

A diagnostic device that digitizes and visualizes the condition of pipelines using sound.

In the energy industry's pipeline monitoring, early detection of anomalies and predictive maintenance are required. Particularly in long-distance pipelines, visual inspections are often difficult, making sound-based condition assessment crucial. However, traditional sound diagnostics heavily rely on the experience and senses of the workers, posing challenges for objective judgment and information sharing. The electronic sound rod Kirari Muse addresses these issues by digitizing the operational sounds of rotating equipment and visualizing the condition, enabling anyone to easily diagnose equipment status without relying on specialized experience. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Detection of abnormal sounds in pipelines - Monitoring operational sounds of rotating equipment such as pumps and compressors - Predictive maintenance of facilities 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Objective diagnosis possible without specialized knowledge - Visualization of condition through graphing of sound data - Sharing and standardization of sound data that were previously difficult - Reduction of unexpected troubles and maintenance costs

Digitizing and visualizing sound! Early detection of water leakage signs.

In water infrastructure, early detection of leaks and prompt response are emphasized as crucial for accident prevention and environmental conservation. Capturing subtle changes in sound and accurately understanding those changes are essential for identifying signs of leaks. However, traditional diagnostic methods often rely heavily on the intuition of experienced personnel, making objective judgment and information sharing challenging. The electronic listening stick Kirari MUSE addresses these issues by digitizing sound data and making it "visible," providing an environment where anyone can easily conduct objective leak diagnostics. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Identifying leak locations in water pipes - Identifying areas with signs of malfunction - Regular equipment diagnostics 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Reduced risk of accidents and emergency responses through early leak detection - Improved judgment accuracy through the qualitative and standardized diagnostic criteria - Rapid information transmission and response through sound data sharing - Establishment of a diagnostic system that does not rely on specialized knowledge

DX transformation! A diagnostic device that can digitize and visualize "sound." For predictive maintenance of rotating equipment such as motors!

We digitize and datafy sound, making the condition of rotating machinery and other equipment "visible." This allows for easy condition diagnosis through sound, achieving equipment diagnostics that do not rely on experience. This product is a device condition diagnosis tool that anyone can use via a smartphone or PC app. It can directly capture the sound of the target equipment without being affected by surrounding noise. The captured sound data is visualized in graphs, enabling "visibility" of sound without relying on the knowledge or experience of the operator. It allows for the sharing of sound data, which was not possible before. Thresholds for abnormal sound inspections, which varied from person to person, can be qualitatively defined by graphing the sound.

When adopting new civil engineering materials, it is important not only to consider performance but also to ensure that clients and designers can easily verify information. Our Hyper CLT panels are registered technologies with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) under NETIS, with registration number "TH-250021-A." Additionally, they are registered with NNTD, which publishes technical information in the field of agricultural and rural development. In NNTD, they are listed as technologies that can be utilized for agricultural roads, drainage channels, field improvements, material storage areas, and temporary roads. They can also serve as information for considering new panels in agricultural civil engineering and rural development sites. Hyper CLT panels are wooden lightweight panels made from CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) that is laminated in the orthogonal direction. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, or relocate depending on site conditions. Wooden panels, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, wooden lightweight panels. Through registration with NETIS and NNTD, Hyper CLT panels are expanding new options not only in general civil engineering but also in agricultural and rural development sites.

● What is a packaging container air leak test device? It is a leak testing device that identifies the peeling, tearing, and presence of pinholes in packaging containers for pharmaceuticals and other products, conducting a Container Closure Integrity Test (CCIT). It can be applied to a wide variety of packaging containers, including flexible packaging, bottle containers, and glass containers, primarily in pharmaceutical packaging. The measurement method employs the <sealed chamber method (pressure change leak testing method 1)>. A sample is placed in the chamber, and by applying pressure or vacuum and measuring the pressure change within the chamber, quantitative inspection is performed. It can be used in various scenarios, including offline manufacturing, inline manufacturing, CMC laboratories, quality control laboratories, and stability testing. * The containers subject to inspection are referred to as "work" or "samples." Here, specific samples are referred to as "samples" to differentiate the terminology.

The pinhole inspection for packaging engineering is fully automated, eliminating packaging defects based on certain quality standards. The judgment results and operational status can be managed via a monitor screen. - Quantitative management of quality standards for the pinhole inspection process - Ensuring the quality of the product's shelf life - Establishing evaluation criteria for the manufacturing process, achieving quantitative quality assurance - Slim and space-saving design that can be connected to existing production lines - Quick changeover for product variety switching can be handled in a short time by exchanging chambers - Fully domestically produced, allowing for rapid maintenance and troubleshooting - Example target works: pillow packaging, packaged rice (packaged cooked rice), etc. *Please consult us regarding the use of this product for pharmaceuticals.
