A product from Furuno Electric, a company headquartered in Nishinomiya, had been installed at a certain apartment building.
Here’s the hands-free gate product developed by Furuno Electric↓
It’s a device that automatically opens the gate if your car has an ETC onboard unit installed.Apparently, the ETC card doesn’t even have to be inserted.
Since you don’t need a remote control, that’s why it’s called a hands-free gate.
I have a feeling coin parking lots would become super convenient if this technology made automatic payment possible too.
World-class Furuno technology installed at a certain apartment building!
Furuno Electric, an incredibly impressive company with a global market share of over 40% in marine radar, is headquartered in Ashihara-cho, Nishinomiya City.
In addition to marine radar, Furuno Electric also makes GPS and ETC-related devices.
Among those products, a hands-free gate system for apartment buildings developed by Furuno Electric had been installed at a certain apartment building.
The apartment building in question↓
The apartment building is called “Geo Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Gardens.”
Gardens. This has nothing to do with it, but it’s an apartment building near that Gardens.
Hmm, take a closer look at this.

In Closing
I didn’t know Furuno Electric had a 40% global market share in marine radar until I looked it up. There was an amazing company like this right here in Nishinomiya.
