We aim at the company which can find happiness with faith

President: Hirokazu Hamasaki
Establishment: 2004
Capital: 3million
Outline of the business: Disaster prevention apparatus and communications equipment production, Sale of the fishery apparatus

It is a chance to have known the actual situation of local anti-disaster measures

"The Tosa Tsushin" that the establishment dealt with sale repair mainly on communications equipment and a fishery apparatus mainly at first. We made use of a repair technology and engaged in the check repair of the street light in the area. We knew that there were a large number of goods of poor quality in the area. In addition, we came to make an effort for anti-disaster measures allied enterprise when "We wanted to make the product which could cope with a disaster" because the reinforcement of earthquake, tsunami measures was urgent business. We develop an emergency exit light and a street light from a plan in-house, and using the tequnique we have, we develop various product now. Since there being a fishery worker in a tendency to decrease, anti-disaster measures being promoted positively again in the prefecture, anti-disaster measures product more than the sale results such as communications equipment, the fishery apparatus is in a state.

We consistently managing the production from a plan

Our strength is to perform development, production from a plan in-house. If it is other companies, they put a commercial article, existing quality together when they make a street light and the crime prevention light, but By the Tosa Tsushin, we produce all in-house. Only Tosa Tsushin works on production in this way in this field throughout in the prefecture. In correspondence with the demand of the customer, the production of the product which was particular about quality in detail is enabled by producing it from a plan stage throughout.

Our first step an emergency guide light "Aya"

It is a guide light called Aya firstly Tosa Tsushin develops it as a product of anti-disaster measures, and to have produced. It was repair of the street light which was always installed in the area to have led to the development. A lot of damaged lights which did not play its part were not able to virtually utilize the street light set up at the time of the disaster either. While we point it out in repair in the maker, we feel to produce it in-house, and started developing the products. Developed Aya adopts capacitor battery unlike a street light of installed solar electric street lights. Battery life was largely in comparison with a lead storage battery prolonged, and charge was possible even if bad weather continued. In an emergency guide light Aya which produced it for the first time as the company, approximately 60 are installed in the sea ashore inside and outside Kochi now.

We repeated improvement and developed "Li-Po street light, crime prevention light PALA" which adopted the battery that is exchange-free more than ten years!

Several years later, the born of the first emergency guide light Aya, "Li-Po street light and crime prevention light PALA were born after the repeated improvement. We made an effort for development to make a more spirited product from the first one. Finished "PALA" can turn on with brightness of 3-4 times with an LED light in comparison with Aya, and it is an everyday street light and takes the duty as the crime prevention light. It is lithium polymer battery to have used to let conventional battery last a long time more. Because exchange in approximately 3 years is necessary for the normal battery, a maintenance expense and taking time are concerned. It is equipped with eight lithium polymer battery in this "PALA" and adopts a circuit to use while changing battery one by one per day. Thus, attery life in this way largely extended more than approximately ten years. All the change and the charge of the battery are computer-controled and operate efficiently.

It can cope at the time of an earthquake, the tsunami outbreak

The point that we really focused on was how do we charge the battery efficiently in the limited daylight hours. The situation that a normal solar street light does not turn on occurs at the time of the disaster of the emergency since it is not able to charge it in the case of bad weather. However, it is improved to turn it on at the time of the disaster of the emergency and no sunshine continues for seven days since it adopts a circuit that "PALA" changes it and uses it. It leaves one among battery of eight and turn on for up to 14 hours when the disasters such as earthquakes occurred even if normal illumination turns off the light. Moreover, lithium polymer batteries that "PALA" has are waterproof. In addition, it is made to cope with the inundation and damage from salt breeze, and an guide light comes to turn on at the time of the inundation caused by a Tsunami.

We aim at the setting to the emergency exit course of each place

We offer lithium polymer battery, a circuit, an LED light put on "PALA" as a repair unit, and as for the existing solar street light which did not turn on, the exchange of the unit is just enabled without changing the solar panel. Moreover, in response to a demand, "I cost-cut it and want to install a lot it", we produced "Li-Po street light PALA frequent use" having the performance that is equal to "PALA". Because the installation to an existing pole and pillar is possible at lower cost than a conventional product, we expect that the setting in each area opens. Using our know-how of "PALA", we want to conjugate it to a street light, not only the instruction light but also product leading to the prevention of such as surveillance cameras of the illegal dumping crime. We think "PALA" to be a technique to become the source of every product.

Prepare for an emergency "Li-Po lead pipe guide light PALA"

In the area where tsunami damage is concerned about, there are many inconvenient points in the darkness of an evacuation route, and people may not be able to move smoothly, so we made "Li-Po lead pipe guide light PALA" which we evolved and developed "PALA". The hint of the development was a light of the construction spot. We developed the guide light which attaches along a way to a handrail in reference to a light attached along a way. According to the name, the contents adopt structure letting you turn on with lithium polymer battery like "PALA". It can light up the emergency exit route for 100m even if a bad weather continues, by charging it in one place, it lights every day for up to 14 hours for seven days. Because realization was difficult with the normal solar panel, the production of the product concerned is epoch-making. It is only Tosa Tsushin at present to have this development technology. The product which attracts interest by the exhibitions of the outside the prefecture. At first we aim to install in each area in Kochi.

Not to mention spreading an existing product more, the development and manufacturing products to make use of for anti-disaster measures more concretely in Kochi where the outbreak of an earthquake, the tsunami is concerned about now. For example, securing of illumination after the refuge, lifts which can evacuate an elderly person and lame person to safely, we aim to develop a plan in-house and want to realize manufacture. And, with a visitor and every demand and opinion from the customers as harvest quotient materials, we want to start the development of more various products positively more than before. Toward the company where all people concerned with us can find happiness, we will push on step by step in future.
