Building an IoT business platform and ecosystem

「In December 2021, the company and エヌ・ティ・ティ・コミュニケーションズ株式会社 began collaborating on initiatives including a pilot project for using digital twins in building equipment management. Sensors capture the condition of building equipment, including failures, and the information is displayed in a virtual environment by integrating エヌ・ティ・ティ・コミュニケーションズ株式会社's Smart Data Platform for City, one of its data utilization platforms, with the company's ARCHIBUS facility management solution. By using data collected from various devices in real time for building equipment management, the company aims to improve the efficiency of facility management operations and create new value.」

「As new initiatives under the IoT business platform, the company began providing VibSign™, a predictive failure detection service for rotating machinery at factories that detects signs of failure and enables maintenance before a malfunction occurs, and Dr.Bridge™, an AI bridge-inspection support system that uses AI to reduce labor requirements and improve quality in bridge inspections.」

「The company is conducting demonstrations with power companies of automated drone patrols and monitoring the tilt of transmission towers, contributing to the maintenance and development of the energy environment.」

「As a new initiative under the IoT business platform, the company released BRaVS LibraryTM and BRaVS PlatformTM, spatial recognition platforms that reproduce human recognition and judgment. BRaVS is being used in AI technology to automate equipment patrols at thermal power plants, demonstrated with Tohoku Electric Power Company,Incorporated, and in image-based diagnostic AI technology that determines deterioration factors and structural soundness in bridge inspections, under joint research with 株式会社日本海コンサルタント. The use of AI technology in bridge inspections was selected for the commercialization promotion support program of the Ishikawa Industrial Development Support Organization (ISICO), and the company is advancing commercialization of the system toward summer 2020.」
