Macnica (Macnica, headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; President: Kazumasa Hara, capitalized at 11,194 million yen), a total service and solution provider in semiconductor, network, cyber security, and AI/IoT, has announced that it will support Ichibata Electric Railway Co. (headquartered in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture; President: Mitsuo Tada), a member of the Ichibata Electric Railway Group, for the introduction of high-efficiency industrial LED lighting manufactured by ShinyU Light of Taiwan, which is expected to save significantly more energy than conventional LED lighting.

Recently, SDGs, which are the international goals for sustainable development of the United Nations, have been advocated, and while Japan has also started working in line with the 17 global goals of the SDGs, each company is also working to realize a decarbonized society. Toward this end, the use of clean energy and further energy conservation are required, and it is an urgent issue to respond as soon as possible.

The Ichibata Train connects Matsue, Hirata, and Izumo/Izumo Taisha Shrine, and is an indispensable railroad for commuting to work and school in the local community. A railway company that supports the transportation infrastructure of the prefecture. In 2019, it transported 1.45 million people, and before the corona crisis, it is one of the routes visited by many tourists from all over the world, such as expanding inbound demand centered on visiting Izumo Taisha Shrine.

In addition, Ichibata Electric Railway has actively worked on environmental conservation activities, such as reducing carbon dioxide emissions generated in the course of promoting the railway business, in a situation where transportation performance is expanding. Therefore, in order to protect the safety of our customers, we have decided to introduce a response to the required illuminance standards for vehicle visual inspections announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in our vehicle inspection warehouse.

Initially, we were considering LED lighting that would be hung from the ceiling, but the sides of the vehicle, the bogie frame, and the bottom of the vehicle body would be in the shadows, and the illumination would not be as bright as we had hoped. Therefore, in addition to hanging it from the ceiling, Macnica proposes an installation that can illuminate the truck frame and vehicle body diagonally from the warehouse wall or warehouse pillar, and also uses ShinyU Light's characteristic light-concentrating lens to improve the illumination of the inspection area. We have realized that we can secure sufficient amount of In addition, conventional mercury lamps take time to turn on after being turned on, so they are often left on all the time, but LED lighting has good responsiveness and turns on as soon as the switch is turned on, so it can be used frequently. Employees now turn their lights on and off, and their energy-saving awareness has improved.

High-efficiency industrial LED lighting "ShinyU Light" is expected to reduce running costs and extend the life of the lighting source by heat dissipation technology called uniform heat conduction plate developed in Taiwan. In addition, since optical lenses that are resistant to thermal shocks are used, the light distribution can be designed freely, and the effects of chemicals and adhesion of dust are kept to a minimum. It has a track record of passing environmental tests and has excellent robustness, making maintenance easy.
