In high-altitude work, the reliable use of safety blocks (fall arrest equipment) is required. However, there are not a few cases where human errors, such as forgetting to connect the hook due to focusing too much on the task, lead to accidents. To address such issues, Yoshikawa Industrial has newly developed a "Safety Block Usage Detection System" that automatically detects the usage status of safety blocks. This system uses detection devices that can be retrofitted to safety blocks and tags carried by workers to automatically determine the usage status of the safety blocks. If the safety block is not in use in a hazardous area, an alarm is triggered to alert the worker. Additionally, by using it in conjunction with the existing "Harness Alert," it is also possible to centrally manage the usage status of full harness-type safety belts and safety blocks. This supports the enhancement of safety management at sites involving high-altitude work, such as bridge construction and equipment inspections. Details about the mechanism and features of this product are introduced on the product page. Please take a look.

Are the measures against contact accidents between forklifts, construction machinery, and pedestrians sufficient? Even with the introduction of an IC tag detection system, many sites feel challenges regarding "response to individuals without tags" and "safety measures in areas with poor visibility." "W Alert Plus Eye" is an optional product that allows the addition of AI cameras to the worker proximity detection system "W Alert." The AI identifies individuals and triggers an alarm when they approach. By combining 360° detection with IC tags and person detection with AI cameras, it covers workers without tags and those in areas with poor visibility, contributing to the reduction of contact accident risks. ✔ I want to strengthen safety measures for individuals without tags. ✔ I want to reduce near-miss incidents behind heavy machinery and around corners. ✔ I want to enhance safety management at sites with a large number of people coming and going. ◆ Please check the product specifications and details from the related links and the Ipros page! *This product is an optional item for "W Alert." The use of a W Alert detection device is required.

At construction sites, factories, and warehouses where heavy machinery operates, accidents caused by human error, such as "not seeing" or "not noticing," continue to occur. In the first column, we explore why accidents persist despite repeated attention and education. We delve into the structural issues of blind spots, work environments, and human limitations to uncover the essence of heavy machinery accidents. In the second column, we examine why "not breaking down" influences safety and costs in harsh working conditions characterized by dust, vibrations, and inclement weather. We outline the conditions for safety measures that are "continuously used" on-site. This content is highly recommended for those responsible for on-site safety management and those considering equipment installation.

The next-generation AI solution series "Y-MillAI" from Yoshikawa Industries has completed the catalogs for two products: Y-MillAI Alert and Y-MillAI Scope. Y-MillAI Alert uses object detection AI to analyze video and detect the intrusion of people or objects into designated hazardous areas. When a danger is detected, it prevents accidents by issuing alarms through warning lights or buzzers and stopping equipment. Y-MillAI Scope extracts only the scenes where people are present from surveillance camera footage using AI. With the report output function, it allows for the attachment of still images and video storage, contributing to the efficiency of reviewing on-site activities and reporting tasks.

The eco system for opening and closing sheet shutters, utilizing W Alert technology, automatically detects only authorized vehicles (such as forklifts, AGVs, and carts) and operators, controlling the sheet shutters. By reducing unnecessary openings and closings, it enhances air conditioning efficiency, reduces energy costs, improves the work environment, and simultaneously contributes to the SDGs through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. *For more details, please contact us for confirmation.*
