A unique system—"E Connect”— which is an industry first, was released on August 30,2021.

This device is designed to operate a shutter or door by connecting it toa hybrid vehicle or portable power outlet.
With this system, garage doors and shutters can be operated even during poweroutages.

Sanwa Shutter Cooperation (head office: Itabashi-ku,Tokyo; President: Meiji Takayama) released the "EConnect" power supply system for garages in the event ofa power outages on August 30.
In recent years, the increase in natural disasters such as
earthquakes and typhoons has led to many wide-spread
power outages. "E Connect" for garages enables
operation of garage doors and shutters installed inresidential garages and store entrances even during power
outages.
In the event of a power outage, people are required towait for the power to be restored or to switch fromelectric to manual operation for emergency operation, but
now they can use their own hybrid vehicle or portable
power outlet to supply electricity and operate the garage
doors/shutters electrically.
This allows shutters to be opened promptly in the event of a sudden
power outage due to an earthquake or typhoon, enabling evacuation andsafe use of automobiles. “E Connect,” a system of power supply utilizing a
hybrid vehicle or portable power source, is the first of its type in theindustry*.
From the customer’s perspective, Sanwa Shutter will continue toprovide products based on our mission to contribute to society byproviding safety, security, and comfort to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
