The "PE Series" small storage battery from Connex Systems was featured in the electronic edition of the Nikkei Shimbun on March 9, 2021.

[Power Outage Measures] For those who have a new type of coronavirus vaccine refrigerator, unexpected long-term power outage measures can be addressed with a medical-grade emergency small storage battery!

【Power Outage Measures】 ▲ Power outage measures for ultra-low temperature freezers storing COVID-19 vaccines and other items, including emergency power supply and backup power. ▲ Provides power to ultra-low temperature freezers for 10 hours without interruption during a power outage (based on a power consumption of 300W). ▲ High output of 1500W! Capable of handling inrush current. - Cases of vaccine disposal due to power outages are occurring frequently. Freezers for vaccine storage are experiencing power shortages due to insufficient power capacity, or unexpected power outages causing freezers to stop, leading to an inability to maintain appropriate storage temperatures, which results in frequent vaccine disposal. The emergency small storage battery from CONNEXX SYSTEMS is originally designed for emergency power supply in facilities that freeze cells and specimens, developed to handle inductive loads. It can provide power to ultra-low temperature freezers and refrigerated storage for approximately 10 hours without interruption. (Based on a power consumption of 300W). It is portable with large casters, making it possible to bring it to vaccination sites. It can continue to be used as a backup power supply for important equipment even after the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

Flexible power supply can be secured for specific machine backups, necessary locations, and required uses. *Certification from the General Incorporated Association for Disaster Prevention and Safety "Recommended Disaster Prevention Products."

The emergency portable small storage battery "LB0043PE4" is a construction-free, portable small battery that enables proactive BCP (Business Continuity Planning) even during unexpected power outages. It allows for flexible power supply to protect essential equipment such as minimal facilities, ME devices, freezers for medical supplies, and incubators for important samples, at necessary locations and for necessary purposes. No dedicated manager or installation work is required; just plug it into an outlet. It comes with casters for easy mobility. It can be installed in places where construction is not possible and can be used from the day it arrives. #Power backup for approximately 10 hours if the power consumption is below 300W. The emergency backup power supply "LB0043PE4" can also be used to secure power for ultra-low temperature freezers for vaccines. 【Features】 ■ Power outage, BCP, disaster prevention measures ■ Enables proactive BCP even during unexpected power outages ■ No construction required ■ Stores and secures necessary power to support the operation of equipment *Certified as a "Recommended Disaster Prevention Product" by the Japan Disaster Prevention Safety Association *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We have implemented backup power for ME equipment, research instruments, freezers, and medical information systems as part of our measures for power outages, BCP, and disaster prevention!

The emergency small-scale power storage system "LB0043PE4" enables flexible power supply for essential equipment, ME devices, freezers, incubators, and other specific devices to protect medical supplies and important samples, as well as medical office equipment, in necessary locations and for necessary purposes. It stores and secures the required power to support the operation of devices. It has been widely adopted in hospitals, medical institutions, nursing facilities, and biotech ventures. It is ideal not only for providing power backup for critical equipment such as refrigeration, freezing, and preservation devices, as well as testing, analysis, and information processing equipment, but also for small and medium-sized facilities that do not have emergency power generation equipment, and as a backup for the power generation systems of large hospitals. [Installation Locations] ■ As a backup power source for ME devices, research equipment, freezers, and medical information systems, etc. * Certified as a "Recommended Product for Disaster Prevention" by the Japan Disaster Prevention Safety Association. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We have newly added a **"Frequently Asked Questions Q&A"** section to the Hyper CLT sheet website. It clearly summarizes many questions frequently asked by those considering the introduction of the product, such as "What types of civil engineering sites can it be used on?", "Can it be used on rainy days?", "Is it compatible with large machinery?", and "What is NETIS?". The Hyper CLT sheet is a lightweight wooden sheet utilizing wood CLT, suitable for a wide range of applications including temporary roads, access routes, and heavy machinery work yards. It is also registered as a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS registered technology "TH-250021-A"**. Since it is a new material, we will not leave any uncertainties unaddressed. We aim to create a website that makes it easy to resolve questions before introduction, including information on wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT, and we will continue to enhance the Q&A section.

We have added a new **"Glossary"** to the Hyper CLT sheet website. In the civil engineering and construction industries, there are many specialized terms such as "CLT," "NETIS," "temporary roads," and "wooden lightweight sheets." Therefore, we have introduced related terms in an easy-to-understand manner so that those who are encountering Hyper CLT sheets for the first time can understand the products and technologies. Hyper CLT sheets are wooden lightweight sheets for civil engineering that utilize wood CLT and are registered under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS technology as **"TH-250021-A."** We hope that by not only conveying the features of the product but also sharing the underlying technologies and terminology, users will feel a closer connection to Hyper CLT sheets. We will continue to enhance our website and provide clear information related to wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

On September 15, 2026, we issued a press release regarding the wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet." The Hyper CLT Sheet is a civil engineering sheet that utilizes CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) stacked in an orthogonal direction. It can be used in various locations such as temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas. The 5×10 version weighs approximately 230 kg, making it relatively lightweight and easy to install, remove, and relocate. Additionally, it offers environmental benefits such as reducing glare and metallic sounds typical of wood, as well as CO2 fixation. Furthermore, it can be proposed for the use of new technologies in public works as a **registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism "TH-250021-A."** Through this press release, we aim to expand the new wooden lightweight sheet that combines wood, NETIS, civil engineering, and CLT to more construction sites.

We have published the latest issue (No. 94) of the ISO-related information magazine "Intertek News."
