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.The companies integrated drones equipped with automated charging ports with the spatial iPaaS platform “LAPIS,” automating the entire process from image-data transfer through point-cloud data generation. The use of Level 3.5 flight operations and 4G LTE also enabled patrols and inspections from outside the site and stable remote operation.
