Tosnet Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Hitoshi Ujiie; hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has concluded a dealership agreement with Bojo Research Institute Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture; Representative Director: Kosei Umeki) and has commenced handling bear countermeasure products.
In recent years, the appearance of bears in various parts of the country has become a major social issue. Measures to prevent damage are required not only in mountainous areas but also in residential areas, tourist spots, and around public facilities, increasing the importance of effective countermeasures by local governments and businesses. In light of this situation, the Company will leverage its on-site response capabilities and safety management knowledge cultivated through its security business to propose bear countermeasure products to local governments, construction sites in mountainous areas, various event venues, and facility management sites.
The main products whose handling has commenced are the bear deterrent system "Bear Alert," which detects the appearance of bears with an AI camera and warns/intimidates them with sound and light; the portable bear deterrent system "IKAZUCHI"; and the professional-grade bear deterrent spray "KUMA-911."
"Bear Alert" is a product equipped with bear detection and warning functions using an AI camera, aiming to reduce the risk of human-bear encounters. It is expected to be utilized in a wide range of locations, including outdoor workers, food businesses, schools/nurseries, outdoor event personnel, and residential areas.
"IKAZUCHI" is a portable bear deterrent system that deters bears through the synergistic effect of sound and light. A major feature is that it can be used repeatedly, unlike conventional bear repellent sprays that are used up in a single spray. Compared to general spray-type products, it is less affected by wind direction, easy to use while maintaining a certain distance, and easy to handle multiple uses on the same day or when multiple bears appear. In addition, since it does not disperse irritants, it is easy to use in situations where consideration for the surroundings is particularly required, such as at event venues where many people gather, and it has the advantage of being reusable for training and practice purposes.
"KUMA-911" is a professional-grade bear deterrent spray with a maximum range of approximately 10m and a spray duration of approximately 10 seconds, using domestic capsaicin and non-CFC gas. It is expected to be used as a means of defense while maintaining a safe distance from bears.
The Company will offer flexible proposals for these products in various forms: sales, leasing, and rental, according to the customer's purpose of use and scale of introduction. In addition to proposals for local governments, we will promote installation proposals for construction sites in mountainous and suburban areas, commercial facilities, outdoor events, etc., and also promote their use as equipment carried by our security guards to further improve safety on site.
With its security business at its core, the Company is expanding its service areas into various fields, including crime prevention, accident prevention, disaster prevention, and wildlife countermeasures, as a corporate group that provides safety and security to society. We will continue to contribute to creating a society where many people can live with peace of mind by providing products and services tailored to the actual conditions on site.
