Showden will celebrate its 60th anniversary in October 2024. Since its founding, we have upheld the slogan "Providing safety and trust to the information society" and have supported mission-critical social and communication infrastructure against various risks. In an era where things and events are digitally optimized (DX), safeguarding the increasingly important infrastructure networks is connected to protecting people's lives and society. At Showden, we continue to pursue the form of safety necessary for a transforming society and contribute to valuable experiences (CX) and the realization of a sustainable society (GX&SX) for everyone.

Showa Denko has developed a new service for lightning damage prevention, the Lightning Risk Monitoring System 'LiRiMoS', in collaboration with HAREX Co., Ltd., and has started offering the service. This service provides information on lightning occurrences and forecasts, automatically collecting, processing, and editing big data analyzed by the Japan Meteorological Agency, and presenting it with a UI/UX tailored to the characteristics of the information. By visualizing lightning risk, we aim to assist our customers in reducing lightning damage and disaster mitigation for their businesses.

Showden Co., Ltd. has opened a "Solution Lab" as a demonstration environment for experiencing comprehensive solutions aimed at enhancing the safety of important facilities, in conjunction with the relocation of the SC Center (Koto Ward, Tokyo). In this facility, you can experience new network and security solutions, including a large display wall suitable for monitoring environments, a high-speed and high-precision non-contact biometric authentication system, a high-definition surveillance camera system, and a wide-area wireless system capable of long-distance transmission, with the GENETEC Security Center as the core system.

The "TMZ-1000" is a device that detects lightning strikes to wind power generation equipment, antenna towers, power supply lines, lightning rods, etc., and transmits contact signals. It can also record lightning current values, charge amounts, as well as the time and frequency of lightning strikes. It is capable of measuring lightning charge amounts and peak lightning current values, recording lightning times and frequencies, and calculating the cumulative values of charge and current. The device has a function to set a threshold for current or charge values in advance, and if lightning energy exceeds this threshold, it will trigger an alarm. 【Features】 ■ Detects lightning and transmits contact signals ■ Calculates cumulative values of charge and current ・Measures lightning charge amounts (up to 1000 coulombs) and peak lightning current values (up to 200 kA) ・Records lightning times and frequencies (up to 999 times) ■ Triggers an alarm when thresholds are exceeded For more details, please refer to related products and catalogs.
