New version released. Introduction video for the worker proximity detection system.

It warns of a 'dangerous' situation when heavy machinery like forklifts gets too close to people.

The "Worker Proximity Detection System" by Yoshikawa Industries supports the awareness of heavy machinery and workers, aiming to reduce the risk of contact. By installing a "detection device" on the heavy machinery and having the worker carry a "tag," an alarm will sound when the two come within a certain distance (which can be set). 【Features】 - One detection device can detect in 360 degrees (all directions). - The detection range can be set from 3m to 12m in 1m increments. - It detects by circumventing obstacles, so it also alarms for head-on approaches. - Alarms can be activated for both the heavy machinery and the worker (please choose a tag with alarm functionality). - It can be installed regardless of the manufacturer, type, or power source of the forklift (compatible with 12v/24v/48v). - The system and peripheral devices can be developed and customized according to customer requests. - With a variety of optional products, you can use it more comfortably! - By using the "Non-Detection Area Setting Device," you can designate the driver's seat as a "non-detection area." This allows for use without removing or turning off the tag, making it popular in environments where drivers change frequently.

This system alerts both the driver and the worker when construction machinery and the worker approach each other.

Attention customers using construction machinery such as backhoes! *Applicable workplaces: Tunnel excavation work, paving work, demolition work This system uses LF band magnetic fields and radio waves to provide warnings to both the driver and the operator based on the distance set on-site. 【Features】 1. Detection range is 360 degrees (omnidirectional) with no blind spots. 2. The detection distance can be set from 3 to 12 meters using a dial to match the site. 3. By combining tags for heavy machinery, proximity between machines can also be detected. 4. It can detect people hidden behind obstacles such as walls. 5. Dustproof and waterproof specifications allow operation in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 75°C. 【Available for both sale and rental】 This system was registered with NETIS (New Technology Information System of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) in May 2015. (Registration No. QS-150004-VE) For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us via either the Ipros manufacturing site or our company website.

SPACECOOL Inc. was selected as one of the top three companies from over 1,500 applications across more than 100 countries in "The Liveability Challenge 2026," a global sustainability initiative hosted by the Temasek Foundation and operated by Eco-Business, and received the Investment Prize. The Liveability Challenge (TLC) is a global initiative that evaluates innovative solutions aimed at addressing urgent sustainability challenges in urban tropical regions. Our company was the only finalist from Japan in the Cool Earth category, which focuses on responding to climate change and heat stress. During the grand final held in Singapore on May 20, 2026, we made our final pitch on cooling solutions for tropical cities and received the Investment Prize. Encouraged by this award, SPACECOOL aims to use this opportunity to implement sustainable cooling solutions in the Southeast Asia region and further accelerate improvements in global heat-related challenges.

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made bed exit sensors wireless, allowing them to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensors wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ Bed exit sensors wirelessly notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with a single receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even 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 or download the catalog.
