Encouraging Safety with LED-Applying Safety Equipment

Kitamura Industry carries out totally in-house the design, manufacture, assembly, evaluation and maintenance of electric lighting display boards employing LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes).

With respect to circuit design, we have developed a variety of controllers including the control unit for the above-described alphanumeric character display and a wide range of signal control devices that can be freely used with a Japanese maker's 8-bit general purpose CPU. As for safety-use electrical equipment for factories and other work sites, we manufacture these devices at our own plants in China and South Korea using cost-oriented mass consumption systems that ensure the lowest possible production cost while realizing products that are easy to use and highly reliable.

In order to further improve the quality of our completed products, our checking facilities are equipped with the latest checking devices including vibration testers, etc. In addition, we simulate phenomena that are likely to occur in the field, which allows us to gather information on and make improvements to potential problem points in advance. Our quality assurance rooms, which are installed separately from the production lines, exercise constant supervision in an effort to prevent potential product problems before they occur.

Always promoting collaboration with our customers and making customer satisfaction our number-one priority, we obtained ISO 9001 certification in August 2000.

LED-Equipped Curve Mirrors

LED-Equipped Curve Mirrors

Conventional roadside curve mirrors allow drivers and pedestrians to obtain a view of what is happening beyond the next bend in the road, but all too frequently potential accidents are overlooked because people's attention is distracted due to fatigue, etc.

In an advance aimed at preventing such accidents, Kitamura Industry has developed and commercialized a curve mirror equipped with an LED display that captures the attention of drivers.

By using a special "magic" mirror, mounting the LEDs inside the mirror itself and connecting them to motion sensors, we have developed a mirror system that detects the approach of objects, triggering the LEDs to light and display a message. This mirror system is expected to be particularly effective in situations where visibility is poor or restricted, such as in parking towers, construction sites, etc.

The LEDs are powered by solar cells with a backup battery, which means they can be employed in virtually any exterior location without having to be connected to a mains electricity supply.

In addition, with the current compact mirror type, we have come up with the idea of installing an observation camera together with the built-in LED alphanumeric display, and we are now developing this product as a crime prevention device for discouraging shoplifting, illegal dumping, etc.
