[ALPHIoT POWER Case Study] Mitachi Industries Co., Ltd.
Real-time and high-precision measurement of snow depth! "ALPHIoT POWER" has been adopted as the power source for the snow monitoring system.
Mitachi Sangyo Co., Ltd. has developed a system to monitor snowfall conditions in snowy areas using sensors. Previously, municipal staff would physically patrol to check the snow accumulation when deciding whether to dispatch snowplows, but with the introduction of the new system, snowfall can now be monitored automatically. It has already been trialed in over 10 municipalities, primarily in the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions, with some having officially adopted it. Dedicated devices equipped with sensors are installed on poles, such as streetlights, at a height of about 3 to 5 meters above the ground to measure the snow depth on the road. The data is displayed on computer or smartphone screens, allowing for real-time monitoring, and notifications are sent via email or phone when the measurements exceed pre-set values. The dedicated devices have been upgraded to a multi-point version equipped with multiple sensors, improving measurement accuracy and enhancing waterproof performance. Our product "ALPHIoT POWER" is also IP66 compliant, which was a key factor in its adoption. There is no concern about solar panels losing power due to snow accumulation, allowing for long-term operation without the need for removal after a single installation.

Case study on the introduction of "ALPHIoT POWER" by Mitachi Sangyo Co., Ltd.
The product "SnowPalette," developed by Mitachi Sangyo Co., Ltd., measures snow depth in real-time and with high precision, allowing for remote monitoring of snow conditions. Our original product "ALPHIoT POWER" has been adopted as the power source for "SnowPalette." "ALPHIoT POWER" is an outdoor power box that achieves reduced construction, low maintenance, and long lifespan through a large-capacity thionyl chloride lithium battery and a stabilized power supply. This time, "ALPHIoT POWER" was chosen as the power source for "SnowPalette" due to its compliance with the dust and waterproof standard IP66. If you have the following challenges or concerns: - Unable to use solar power due to insufficient sunlight from snow, but want to ensure stable power supply - Need long operating hours, but the battery runs out quickly - Cannot find products that can withstand harsh environments - Want to reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance and replacement Please consider downloading the materials and introducing the product.
