Increasing the Value of Apartment Buildings Through IoT Equipment

「We are expanding our business scope beyond rental apartments by pursuing proposals that combine BRO-ZERO with our existing products for accommodation facilities, condominiums, vacant homes and facilities related to regional revitalization.」

「We will address real estate owners’ issues, including vacant homes and declining utilization rates, by prioritizing interior and exterior renovation and repair work as core initiatives. Specifically, we will focus on expanding renovation and large-scale repair and refurbishment projects through BRO-ROOM and BRO-WALL, while combining them with infrastructure development and IoT integration through B-CUBIC and BRO-LOCK to provide total solutions that improve occupancy rates and rents.」

「The vacant-home problem, the largest issue facing the housing market, is expected to remain a social issue. Demand for internet infrastructure that increases real estate value, IoT devices that improve convenience, DX equipment that improves management efficiency, and exterior and interior repairs and renovations is expected to remain strong.」

「For B-CUBIC, our high-speed internet service for apartment buildings, demand for internet environments in individual units has increased as the number of internet-connected devices and data usage have risen with improvements in video services and mobile devices. As a result of pursuing new customers and partner companies and strengthening cooperation with them, orders have continued to perform steadily.」

「The increase in internet-connected devices and data usage resulting from improved video services and mobile devices is sustaining demand for internet environments in individual units. Growing security awareness is also sustaining demand at existing properties for security cameras and new or renewed auto-lock and intercom systems.」

「Together with B-CUBIC, we provide BRO-LOCK, an IoT intercom system with facial recognition, BRO-ROOM, a service combining smart-home equipment and renovation, and peripheral equipment such as smart cameras and smart locks.」

「The number of internet-connected devices is increasing, while data usage is rising as video services and mobile devices improve in quality and gain popularity. This is sustaining demand for internet environments in individual units. In addition, heightened awareness of security following robberies by organized special-fraud groups and others is sustaining demand at existing properties for security cameras and new or renewed auto-lock and intercom systems.」

「As internet use has spread, apartments are also becoming more connected. Installation of IoT devices such as security cameras and smart locks is accelerating as DX equipment that increases apartment value and improves management efficiency.」

「As internet use has spread, apartments are also becoming more connected. Installation of IoT devices such as security cameras, intercom systems and digital signage is accelerating as DX equipment that increases apartment value and improves management efficiency.」

「The gap between large apartment buildings, where value can be increased relatively easily, and small apartments, where this is more difficult, is tending to widen. To address these social issues, we strengthened our proposals, including the launch of BRO-LOCK Light and entrance renovations through a partnership with a renovation company.」

「The number of closed cross-selling transactions involving smart cameras, IoT devices, and BRO-LOCK is also increasing steadily.」

「As part of our efforts to increase apartment value, we have received more inquiries from customers considering the installation of B-CUBIC, a whole-building internet system, and BRO-LOCK, an IoT intercom system.」

「Together with B-CUBIC, we provide peripheral equipment at the same time, including BRO-LOCK, an IoT intercom system with facial recognition, as well as smart cameras, smart locks and smart parcel lockers.」
