Proposal and Commercialization of Patented Construction Methods and Development of New Robots through Industry-Academic Collaboration

「Improved functionality and multi-standard compatibility for the Crane Rail Inspection Robot」

「Research and development expenses for the consolidated fiscal year comprised the costs of modifying a crane rail measurement robot to improve its functions and modifying the functions of AUSE, an AutoCAD add-on software product, as part of the DX Plant Solution initiative identified as a key strategy in the Company's Decarbonization Action Plan 2025.」

「October 2022 Launch of a crane rail measurement service using a crane rail measurement robot」

「Research and development expenses for the consolidated fiscal year consisted of costs for demonstration tests of a method for dismantling wind power generation equipment, as part of the company’s decarbonized dismantling initiative in its plant dismantling business.」

「Crane Rail Inspection Robot　We jointly developed with イクシス a robot that travels autonomously along crane rails to conduct inspections efficiently on a regular basis for overhead cranes installed at plants, factories and other facilities and used to transport heavy loads and components.」

「Research and development expenses for the consolidated fiscal year consisted of costs for jointly developing a “Crane Rail Inspection Robot” with イクシス in the company’s plant dismantling business.」

「Through proprietary expertise, including multiple patented demolition methods such as the “Apple-Peeling Method” and the flame-free dismantling of PCB-containing transformers accumulated through many years of plant dismantling,」

「■The “Robotic Construction Method,” involving the development of attachments for operating thermal-cutting robots and the development of new robots」

「The “Apple-Peeling Method,” a major patented construction method whose commercialization is progressing; the “Robotic Construction Method,” aimed at improving safety and efficiency; the “Environmental Construction Method,” including the dismantling of transformers and other equipment in connection with PCB detoxification; and the “Power-Generation Wind Turbine Dismantling Method,” for which demand is expected to increase going forward.」

「Going forward, we will propose demolition methods using patented construction methods to various companies that own plants and work toward their commercialization. In addition, we will focus on developing new robots through industry-academic collaboration to improve safety and efficiency through robotic construction methods.」
