Energy Saving Solution

Complete Power Off

Flat panel detectors (FPDs) in most systems consume power even when system is off, contributing to significant energy waste over time. Alphenix eliminates this inefficiency with a complete power-off mode, consuming almost no energy*1 during downtime, advancing sustainability.

Sleep Mode

The Sleep Mode offers energy savings by reducing power consumption by temporarily disabling some internal operations of the system. The Sleep Mode is automatically activated after 15 minutes of inactivity, or it can be switched on manually with one click/touch. Energy consumption can be reduced by up to 31% compared to normal standby modes with Sleep Mode*1. In emergencies, the system can instantly return to standby, ensuring that there are no delays in procedures while supporting optimal sustainability.

AI

Meaningful AI in daily procedures

αEvolve Technology, series of Alphenix features powered by artificial intelligence aims to provide various benefits to customers.

Drastic dose reduction

Dose rate for cine angiography is known to be up to 9-13 times higher than that of fluoroscopy*1. Therefore, radiation exposure for clinicians and patients can be significantly reduced if cine angiography can be replaced with fluoroscopy.

Manufacturing

Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

We are continuously focused on taking measures to reduce energy consumption at our offices, production sites, sales branches, and research facilities. These measures include the use of LED lighting and motion sensor lighting, as well as the introduction of solar panels on warehouse roofs. We also seek to use renewable energy, wherever possible.

The Energy Conservation Promotion Project reduces standby power consumption at our manufacturing facilities by approximately 1.19 million kWh (580 t- CO2) per year through changes in supply conditions, strengthening of air conditioning temperature control, and optimization of ventilation.

Our product manufacturing priorities are to source sustainable materials, reduce reliance on hazardous substances, and minimize resource consumption. Compliance with Canon’s Supplier Code of Conduct ensures alignment with our sustainability goals across the entire supply chain.

Packaging / Logistics

Greening Transport, Distribution and Logistics

Canon Medical is striving to reduce the CO₂ emissions of product transportation through a modal shift from truck and air transportation to rail and ship transportation.
In addition, improved efficiency in logistics reduces CO₂ emissions during transit.

We are also focused on reducing the amount of packing materials used for transporting products by simplifying the packing process and decreasing the number of units for each system.

We have consistently improved our packaging efficiency while ensuring the safe delivery of products to our customers after shipment and local transportation. Introducing a new concept for equipment transportation, we have started using dedicated shipping containers, eco-friendly packaging material (biodegradable fibers, etc.) and only FSC certified wood.
