Establishment of IoT solutions for the manufacturing sector

「In the automotive field, where we have pillar customers, demand for IT engineers is expected to increase substantially as vehicles transition to EVs. Accordingly, we have continued making proposals to domestic Tier-1 and Tier-2 manufacturers since the previous fiscal year, and collaboration with new customers has continued since the first quarter. Going forward, we aim to expand the business by actively extending these initiatives to other global manufacturers, beginning with those in Japan, while leveraging the Philippines' English-language communication capabilities.」

「For IVA (intelligent video analytics) technology, which the company began developing as a new solution, various advanced solutions, including remote support solutions in the fields of Edge IoT, AIoT and AR, have undergone demonstration testing and have been adopted and put into operation by customers in the mobility sector. In addition, support for introducing AI into product appearance inspection equipment has been adopted by manufacturing customers, and further cross-sector rollout of the technology is expected.」

「In the Edge IoT/AIoT and Edge IoT/AR fields using IVA (intelligent video analytics) technology, which the Company began pursuing as new solutions, various advanced solutions, including remote support solutions, made substantial progress, having moved through demonstration testing to actual adoption and operation by customers in the mobility sector.」

「In the Edge IoT/AIoT field using IVA (intelligent video analytics) technology, continued proposals to customers, including R&D support for customers in the mobility sector, have resulted in solutions progressing from proof-of-concept testing to actual adoption. In the Edge IoT/AR field as well, a remote-support solution has progressed from proof-of-concept testing for a customer in the mobility sector to actual adoption.」

「In addition, the Company began securing orders from new customers for Edge IoT/AIoT development using IVA (intelligent video analytics) technology as a new solution, expanding opportunities to deploy solutions across industries alongside its existing core technologies and continuing to promote that deployment.」

「Previously, our overseas development outsourcing was primarily intended to reduce development, maintenance and operating costs by outsourcing labor-intensive work to overseas locations with lower unit costs. However, against the backdrop of a shortage of IT personnel in Japan resulting from the declining birthrate and aging population, we are reaching a stage where it is necessary to strategically utilize overseas personnel in promoting digital transformation (DX), including in cutting-edge fields such as RPA, IoT and AI.」

「We are actively pursuing initiatives under our Group's growth strategy, including developing new solutions such as big data and analytics solutions for the manufacturing and healthcare sectors and IoT mobile solutions, as well as participating in the development of AI-based business operations for major customers.」

「In its Global Division, the Group continues to receive steady, solid orders from existing customers in the Philippines and Japan, as well as an increasing number of new customers. It is also actively pursuing initiatives under its growth strategy, including efforts to establish voice AI assistants, analytics solutions for the manufacturing and healthcare sectors, and IoT solutions.」

「We are actively pursuing initiatives under our Group's growth strategy, including exploring voice AI assistants for in-vehicle equipment using Smart Device Link, analytics solutions for the manufacturing and healthcare sectors, and the establishment of IoT solutions.」

「In the Global Division, we are steadily advancing our growth strategy, primarily through continued, stable and solid orders from existing customers in the Philippines and Japan, as well as an increase in new customers. We are also actively pursuing initiatives under our Group's growth strategy, including exploring voice AI assistants for in-vehicle equipment using Smart Device Link, analytics solutions for the manufacturing and healthcare sectors, and the establishment of IoT solutions.」

「We continued to actively pursue initiatives under our Group's growth strategy, including exploring the automation of in-vehicle equipment testing related to the conversion of automobiles to e-cockpits, analytics for the manufacturing sector, and the establishment of IoT solutions.」

「Although revenue fell below plan due to some orders and acceptance inspections being pushed back to the fourth quarter or later, among other factors, we are actively pursuing initiatives under our Group's growth strategy, including focusing on winning projects from new customers, automating testing for in-vehicle equipment related to the conversion of automobiles to e-cockpits, and exploring the establishment of IoT solutions for the manufacturing sector.」
