Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) provides the 'DNP High-Visibility Pattern Light', a compact lighting device that supports public works in the civil engineering and construction industry by projecting 'pattern light' such as lines and arrows over long distances.
Recently, the 'G-Scrite Method', which utilizes DNP's pattern lights, was selected as a 'FY2026 Recommended Technology' in the 'New Technology Information System (NETIS)' operated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). This method is a unique construction technique that instantly visualizes designated positions for reference lines and plot lines through light pattern projection. This selection acknowledges the utility of the method and the supporting pattern lights. Being registered as a recommended technology offers even greater benefits compared to standard NETIS-registered technologies, such as providing extra points in comprehensive evaluations and project scores for contractors who use this method.
[About 'G-Scrite Method' and Pattern Lights Selected as Recommended Technology]
NETIS is an information database aimed at promoting the use of new technologies in public works. Among technologies registered in NETIS, innovative new technologies that are evaluated to contribute significantly to improving construction safety and efficiency and further raising the technical standards of public works are selected as 'Recommended Technologies'.
The 'G-Scrite Method' (NETIS Registration Number: HK-240021-VE) selected this time is a technology that projects lines of light onto the road surface, instantly visualizing where lines should be drawn. By utilizing this technology, the marking work previously performed manually becomes unnecessary, shortening the process and improving economic efficiency, safety, and constructability. The pattern light is an essential device within this method, projecting clear linear light up to approximately 100 meters onto the road surface. With its selection as a 'Recommended Technology', the use of this method using pattern lights is expected to expand in public works.
[About 'DNP High-Visibility Pattern Light']
1. High Visibility Enhances Safety in Various Scenes
Using DNP's unique HMX (Holographic Matrix) technology that controls laser light freely, bright and clear light patterns can be projected up to 100 meters away. In addition to the use as a recommended technology, it can be utilized in various scenes. At nighttime construction sites, projecting arrow patterns on the road before the construction zone allows drivers to intuitively understand path changes from a distance, reducing the risk of entering construction zones by encouraging early lane changes. Also, indoors such as in factories and warehouses, showing dangerous areas like steps, pillars, and machinery, or heavy equipment travel areas and work zones with light, ensures safety and enhances work efficiency.
2. No Additional Laser-Specific Measures Required for Users
Compared to general LED projection devices, it has lower power consumption and can project bright and clear patterns suitable for various purposes and locations. Since it complies with Class 1 of JIS C 6802, the safety standard for laser products, special measures such as appointing a laser equipment manager, interlock mechanisms, or product access restrictions are unnecessary. It can be used just like a general LED lighting fixture.
3. Compact, Lightweight, and Easy to Install. Two Types of Pattern Lights for Easy Implementation at Any Site
You can choose between a standard type with 3.5W power consumption and a high-brightness type with 4.5W. By using the high-brightness type, high-contrast displays are possible even in brighter factories or under road lighting. The combination of a model with a built-in battery that can be used immediately and a compact model without a battery designed for long-term use expands the range of utilization scenarios.
[Future Developments]
DNP will deploy the 'DNP High-Visibility Pattern Light' starting with the 'G-Scrite Method' for civil engineering and construction-related companies. Furthermore, the company aims to expand applications to factory and disaster prevention fields, as well as mobility fields such as automobiles, targeting cumulative sales of 5 billion yen by fiscal year 2030.
