NejiLaw and Kandenko have started a joint-verification project of"smartNeji System for Wind Power Stations and Transmission Towers"
NejiLaw Inc. hereinafter referred to as "NejiLaw", (CEO: Hiroshi Michiwaki Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan) has signed ajoint development contract with Kandenko Company, Limited (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshimi Morito) regarding"smartNeji System for Wind Power Stations and Transmission Towers", which has been jointly developed with CASIO COMPUTER
CO., LTD. NejiLaw and Kandenko have jointly started an open innovation verification project.

✕A new world opened by smartNeji
By combining the technological strengths of both companies: non-loosening screw and thread, bolt and nut centeredon precision stress sensor technology by NejiLaw, and communication circuit technology that has shock resistant,vibration resistant, and low power consumption which was developed by CASIO G-SHOCK; we have realized the multisensing IoT bolt "smartNeji" that has not only the same level of robustness as conventional screws, but also multi-sensors.
Wirelessly checking the status during fastening and collecting stress information (so called” Material Vital Signs”), thisIoT-Neji enables to analyze the stress status of the entire structure with your own AI-based monitoring system "GodEyes”.

NejiLaw aims for “Loc-Tech ‘Advanced Loc-King Technology’" to improve National Resilience
The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will be held again after 57 years since 1964.
Nearly 60 years have passed since infrastructure construction was actively carried out in Japan.
Building life is estimated to be 40 to 50 years and in recent years, decrepit infrastructure is increasing rapidly.
A wide range of social infrastructure, including steel towers, bridges, tunnels and highways, as well as dams, watersupply and sewerage systems and railways require countermeasures for their improvement. The need for earthquake
resistance, repairs, renovations, and reconstructions has increased dramatically. If they are left unrepaired as it is, theestimated damage amount from a severe earthquake in the near future is 1,410 trillion yen in case of Nankai Troughearthquake and 778 trillion yen in case of directly below Tokyo earthquake, according to the announcement made by
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
The Japanese government formulated the National Resilience Policy and on December 14, 2018, the Cabinet approved
the thoroughly renewed Basic Plan for National Resilience Project with a budget of more than 5.3 trillion yen in FY
2019 alone. The government is promoting an ultra-mega measure which is estimated to have a total capital of 200
trillion yen.
Within social capital, there are 730 thousand road bridges across the country, of which 60% are already more than 40years old (according to data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport). In addition, on the approximately
230km of bridges of the highways in the eastern/central/western Japan, the replacement costs of reinforced concrete
floor slabs are approximately 1,650 billion yen (according to data released by NEXCO).
NejiLaw will continue to make a broad-ranging contribution to the society with our "power of emergence" generated by
the consistent in-house system: inventive development speed, problem solving system, research/development/mass
production technology management/Quality, along with L/R-bolts, ZaLoc, JicLoc, ShuLoc, VanLoc and other high-grade joining members.
