The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

At コバヤシ精密工業’s own factory, electricity consumption could not be measured for individual pieces of equipment, making it impossible to verify energy-saving effects numerically. The company also cited as reasons for commercializing the product the ability to achieve communications less susceptible to electromagnetic noise, cloud connectivity, authentication and encryption through SORACOM’s IoT SIM and data transfer services.
