• Cushioning material

If you have any overseas shipping products that are causing you trouble, please contact us! We can also make suitable proposals for products that do not have physical samples.

We would like to introduce a case study of cushioning materials used for prisms in the optical field. Due to the inability to lend out physical products, we proposed a cushioning material design based solely on the external dimensions of the product. This time, since it is for overseas shipment rather than domestic, there were concerns about handling. Therefore, the key point was to ensure that the packaging materials had sufficient strength, using sturdy cardboard for the outer box. Additionally, we adopted double packaging that minimizes the risk of accidents from impacts or punctures without affecting the product. By conducting cushioning design, we ensured that even delicate products, such as optical components that are sensitive to shocks, can be safely shipped overseas. Even for products without physical samples, our packaging material engineers can make suitable proposals using their experience and equipment such as 3D-CAD. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Cushioning material

Many achievements in the Tohoku region! Leave inter-process transportation to us! The key point is whether to achieve space-saving and labor-saving.

We would like to introduce a case study on proposals for improving the loading efficiency of automotive parts containers. To increase the storage rate beyond appearances, we used a 3D camera to photograph the products and examined packaging methods that would enhance loading efficiency based on that data, considering aspects such as orientation and stacking methods. As a result of our final proposal, we achieved a stable loading method where the products do not come into contact with each other, increasing the capacity from what the customer previously thought was limited to 5 units to 6 units due to our proposal. Additionally, we designed it so that symmetrical products can be accommodated without interference. [Case Study - After Proposal] - Increased capacity from what was previously thought to be limited to 5 units to 6 units. - Symmetrical products can now be accommodated without interference. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Circuit board design and manufacturing

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.

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 on 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 a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8

The non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four ways: left, center, right, with 4 spots and 12 spots settings. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor modes with a single model. 【Recommended for such places!】 ☑ Entrances facing busy corridors ☑ Counters or signs near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
