According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the operation of the "New Disaster Prevention Weather Information" will begin on Friday, May 29, 2026. The new disaster prevention weather information will organize four types of disasters—river flooding, heavy rain, landslides, and storm surges—into five levels of alert (1 to 5) and standardize the names to clarify the criteria for evacuation decisions. Regarding the timing of the switch, the Japan Meteorological Agency will carry out the transition work starting at 1 PM on Thursday, May 28, the day before the operation begins. If any issues arise, they will revert to the previous specifications and conduct the transition work at a later date. The services provided by Sysmet Co., Ltd. will also respond to the new disaster prevention weather information, but depending on the progress of the Japan Meteorological Agency's system transition, there may be a possibility of delays in updating our services. This article will explain how the new disaster prevention weather information will change. 1. Current issues with disaster prevention weather information 2. How the new disaster prevention weather information will change 3. Timing of the switch 4. Are you able to share information about disaster prevention weather information?

Thank you for always watching. This time, I will talk about important indicators used in port operations. Depending on the site environment, offshore construction is easily affected by waves and wind, and it is particularly necessary to carefully consider weather conditions in cost management and labor management. For this reason, there is an important keyword in offshore construction known as "utilization coefficient." This time, we will take a rough look at this "utilization coefficient." 1. What does "utilization" mean? 2. Calculation of the utilization coefficient 3. Concept of the utilization coefficient 1. What does "utilization" mean? First, "utilization" refers to the state in which machinery and equipment have been delivered to the construction site. The number of days from when the equipment is delivered to when it is removed is called "utilization days." Additionally, the construction period (excluding preparation and cleanup) includes not only the days when work is performed (operating days) but also non-operating days (holidays, safety training days, days of inclement weather, etc.). The remaining days in a year (365 days) after excluding these non-operating days constitute the annual "operating days" for the machinery and equipment. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

Starting from Friday, May 29, 2026, there will be changes to the warnings and alerts provided in the services offered by Sysmet Corporation due to the implementation of the "New Disaster Prevention Weather Information."

The booth exhibition of Sysmet Co., Ltd. at the 56th Iwasaki Total Solution Fair 2026, held on April 8 (Wednesday) and April 9 (Thursday), has successfully concluded. On the day of the event, members of the technical department involved in meteorological forecasting, equipment development, and fieldwork from our headquarters in Kitakyushu participated to support the booth, which included actual equipment. Many visitors came to the booth, where they asked questions to the meteorologists and inquired about new services such as environmental sensors for noise and vibration, resulting in a great response. On the 8th, we were honored to have the opportunity to give a presentation on "How to View Meteorological Data from a Forecaster's Perspective and an Introduction to AI Wind Forecasting" at the mini stage, led by our meteorologists. Moving forward, we will continue to provide services that contribute to everyone's safety and efficiency, focusing on the theme of "Visible" safety created through the combination of meteorology and technology.
