Agreements reached under this partnership
Business Alliance- 1
This technology is a new structural condition and anomaly detection system and condition and anomaly detection method that combines our proprietary “Skeleton spall-prevention disaster-mitigation coating technology” with Murata Manufacturing Co.,Ltd.’s RFID technology.
- 2
An RFID tag enclosed in a glass tube is integrated into the surface of a structure, maintaining stable communications under normal conditions.
- 3
If cracking or displacement exceeding a specified level occurs in the structure, the resulting stress damages the glass tube and changes the communications characteristics of the RFID tag.
- 4
An RFID reader detects this change wirelessly, enabling structural anomalies to be identified simply and reliably.
These are items that the documents state the two companies will work on. The lines above and below represent arrangements between the two companies.
The impact of this matter on results for the fiscal year ending May 2027 is currently expected to be limited, but the company believes it will contribute to improved results over the medium to long term from the following fiscal year onward.

Items this document does not state (18)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.As social infrastructure ages, the importance of inspection and monitoring is increasing. However, conventional inspections involve substantial costs and workloads, while existing sensor-based monitoring requires power facilities, signal-processing equipment, battery replacement and other provisions. The system is intended to detect structural anomalies without a power supply, using a simple configuration and requiring little maintenance.
