HERUTU ELECTRONICS CORPORATION Official site

Hertz Electronics Co., Ltd. will provide a software update to expand the functionality of the "En-Guard(R)" series "Remote Monitoring System for Gas Detection," which ensures the safety of workers operating in hazardous environments, starting September 25, 2025. The "Remote Monitoring System for Gas Detection" quickly alerts nearby workers and supervisors in distant locations when gas detectors manufactured by RIKEN KEIKI Co., Ltd. (portable gas monitors "GX-3R Pro," "CO-04BT(C-)," "CX-04BT," and the hazardous gas detector for manhole and pit work "GX-2100") detect the risks of gas poisoning or oxygen deficiency, thereby protecting worker safety. This software update will add three features to expand the means and range of transmitting alarms (gas alarms, man-down alarms, panic alarms, etc.) triggered by the gas detectors to distant colleagues: 1. Lighting alarm lights located at a distance when an alarm is triggered. 2. Acquiring alarm information via Web API. 3. Extending the wireless transmission distance of alarms (increasing the number of relay devices that can be introduced from a maximum of 2 stages to a maximum of 4 stages).

Hertz Electronics Co., Ltd. will sequentially release three new products as part of its "Poka-Yoke Tools," a group of IoT tools that support the prevention of operator errors (poka-yoke) in production processes such as assembly and inspection, where high quality is required. The new products are the insertion unit "PU-SX," the pulling unit "PC-SX," and the screw locking agent attachment "TFC-100-01-850." The PU-SX and PC-SX are products that enable poka-yoke for various insertion and pulling tasks, such as connectors and clips for circuit boards, by exchanging the tip and spring. Additionally, the TFC-100-01-850 allows for poka-yoke in the application of screw locking agents by being retrofitted to your existing screw locking agent (bottle). These products will be showcased for the first time at our booth (booth number: S31-8) during the "9th Smart Factory EXPO," which will be held from January 22 (Wednesday) to January 24 (Friday), 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight, South Exhibition Hall, 4th floor. If you are interested, please be sure to visit our booth.

"Ensuring the safety of workers operating in hazardous environments" En GuardⓇ will update the software of its "Remote Monitoring System for Gas Detection" to version V2.00. This upgrade will support gas detection for manhole and pit work, and with the introduction of relay devices, it will extend the communication range to approximately 900m indoors and about 2.6 km in line of sight. This system quickly alerts nearby workers and supervisors in distant locations when the risk of gas poisoning or oxygen deficiency increases, thereby protecting the safety of the workers. The system consists of the En Guard Portable "ENP-BT01J" carried by workers, the safety monitoring software "En-Guard plus for Gas Monitor" for supervisors to oversee worker safety, and the En-Guard Hub "ENH-LR01J". It collaborates with RIKEN KEIKI Co., Ltd.'s portable gas monitors "GX-3R Pro", "CO-04BT(C-)", "CX-04BT", and the hazardous gas detector "GX-2100" for manhole and pit work via BluetoothⓇ.

Hertz Electronics Co., Ltd. will update the software of the simple contact wireless transmission unit "WCP LR16J," which enables wireless transmission of up to 16 points between devices over approximately 300m indoors and about 2,000m in line of sight, to version V2.00. By upgrading to V2.00, in addition to the conventional communication configuration of "1:1," it will also support communication configurations of "1:4," "4:1," and "1:N (broadcast communication)." The WCP-LR16J is equipped with our compact LoRa wireless module operating in the 920MHz band and features "easy setup, ready to use when connected to equipment (no wiring work required)," "switchable contact input transmission and contact output reception," and "wireless transmission possible up to approximately 300m indoors / about 2,000m in line of sight." The WCP-LR16J can be used in various cases in industrial settings, including: - Abnormality and operation monitoring from production equipment - Start/stop instructions between AGVs and stations - Alarm monitoring from environmental measurement devices - Demand control of air conditioning outdoor units - Status monitoring of production robots - Monitoring of various liquids in plant tanks and piping, etc.

Hertz Electronics Co., Ltd. will launch a new product, the "Remote Monitoring System for Gas Detection," equipped with our compact LoRa wireless module, as part of our "En-Guard" line aimed at "ensuring the safety of workers in hazardous environments." This system quickly alerts nearby workers and supervisors in distant locations when the risk of gas poisoning or oxygen deficiency increases at the worksite, thereby protecting the safety of the workers. The system consists of the En-Guard Portable "ENP-BT01J" carried by the workers, the safety monitoring software "En-Guard plus for Gas Monitor" for supervisors to oversee the safety of the workers, and the En-Guard Hub "ENH-LR01J," which integrates with the portable gas monitor "GX-3R Pro" manufactured by RIKEN KEIKI Co., Ltd. via Bluetooth.
