In the latest "Age Estimation Evaluation Test" conducted by NIST, the AI facial recognition engine "FaceMe" ranked 5th in the world. 【What is the NIST FATE Age Estimation Evaluation Test?】 The NIST FATE Age Estimation Evaluation Test is one of the international benchmarks for facial analysis technology conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States, which evaluates the age estimation accuracy of AI algorithms using a large-scale facial image dataset. 【Evaluation Results of FaceMe】 - World Ranking: 5th FaceMe ranked 5th among 20 global vendors, demonstrating top-class accuracy in an international competitive environment. - Mean Absolute Error (MAE): 2.87 years The average error in FaceMe's estimated age is 2.87 years, with only a 0.35-year difference from the top-ranked algorithm, achieving world-class accuracy. *MAE (Mean Absolute Error): Quantifies the error in estimated age (the smaller the number, the higher the accuracy). *NIST conducted the evaluation using 1 million facial images of individuals aged 18 to 30.

In recent times, there has been a growing interest in infection control measures and facility hygiene management. Our company offers non-contact sensor products that are recommended for commercial facilities, food factories, and nursing and caregiving facilities. 【Sensors for Automatic Doors】 ● Light Touch Sensor HA-T401 … When you wave your hand in front of the automatic door, the sensor detects the movement and opens or closes the door. It is recommended for making doors that use touch switches non-contact. ● Hand Wave Sensor PF-R5, PF-U2, DHS-1 … Opens and closes the automatic door by waving your hand in front of the sensor. ● Foot Switch PF-01S/01D/03S/05 … Opens and closes the automatic door by placing your foot in the opening. 【Access Control System】 ● Face Recognition + Unmanned Temperature Measurement DS Series … Capable of detecting mask-wearing and measuring body temperature simultaneously with face recognition. ● Automatic Disinfectant Spray Dispenser PHW-03B … Automatically sprays disinfectant when you wave your hand in front of the sensor. 【Nursing and Care Sensors】 ● Infrared Bed Exit Sensor "Just Place It Pole-kun" … This bed exit sensor is installed next to the bed and alerts via nurse call when the subject enters the detection range. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those facing sidewalks or roadways are particularly prone to dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures at various sites and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. [Contents Included] ○ Vehicle Exit Warning System Configuration ○ Comparison Table of Exit Warning Sensors ○ Four Modes ○ Wide Range of Applications ○ Customer Feedback ○ Appearance Diagram / Specifications ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.
