The term “smart home” often conjures images of robotic assistants and futuristic gadgets. While that vision holds some truth, the greatest advancements are happening behind the scenes—making homes more energy-efficient and sustainable. In Japan, Senba Denki Kazai is a key player in the Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) market, trusted for its reliable components for smart gas meters. The global push towards smart gas meters has provided a strong boost for the company, with President Tatsuo Inoue seeing future growth potential based on his firm’s unique technology. “We supply feedthroughs for ultrasonic smart gas meters.
Our special gas-sealing structure allows wires to be stably connected to other components, ensuring that gas is unable to leak out,” said Inoue. With local governments targeting environmental goals, including Tokyo’s plan to replace all analog water meters with smart versions by 2030, demand for Senba Denki’s solutions is growing in Japan and the wider APAC region. “We set up our Malaysia office as our sales hub, allowing us to independently seek out clients in the local area. I believe our future comes down to collaboration with our partners,” said Inoue.
