「In October 2023, we announced the development of “SECOM Drone XX” (Double X), Japan’s first security drone to use AI for patrols and intrusion monitoring.」

「Also in May, to support the safe staging of the “G7 Hiroshima Summit,” we provided police with the “SECOM Balloon,” which conducts aerial surveillance from above, and “SECOM 3D Security Planning,” a security planning system using highly accurate three-dimensional maps that supports the development of security plans, among other services.」

「We are monitoring future technology trends, including AI, IoT and cybersecurity, and working on the development of cutting-edge technologies.」

「We are building an organizational framework and pursuing initiatives to actively supply new services and products that make extensive use of technologies such as AI, IoT and 5G.」

「We are developing a new security robot, “cocobo (ココボ),” that conducts security operations using cutting-edge technologies such as AI and 5G while blending into various settings, including commercial facilities and office buildings」

「We are building an organizational framework and pursuing initiatives to actively supply new services and products that make extensive use of technologies such as AI, IoT and 5G.」

「In August, together with partner companies, we successfully conducted a security demonstration using “5G” (Note 1), AI, drones, robots and cameras worn by security personnel, as a rigorous security measure for large-scale events such as international sporting events and conferences. In this way, we are working to achieve more advanced and efficient security by combining human capabilities with the latest technologies, including robots.」

「For large-scale event services, we provided the latest security systems using advanced technologies, including an “AI image recognition system” and the “SECOM Balloon” (an aerial surveillance camera), supporting the safe and secure staging and operation of events.」

「With the cooperation of major domestic information and communications operators and drone operators, we achieved Japan’s first successful demonstration of wide-area stadium security using smart drones equipped with mobile communications networks (4G LTE) and person-detection capabilities.」

「To improve safety and security in communities, we promoted efforts to apply advanced technologies to security, including operational testing of a security system using wearable cameras and the mobile monitoring base “On-Site Center.”」

「In September, Taiwan hosted the first demonstration flight of the “SECOM Drone” outside Japan, while Myanmar became the first overseas location where the “SECOM Balloon” was put into operation.」

「In August 2016, we also entered into the “Shibuya Social Action Partner Agreement” with Shibuya Ward and launched an initiative to address community issues, including disaster preparedness and the super-aged society, through public-private collaboration. In September, we began full-scale sales of “SECOM 3D Security Planning,” which uses highly accurate 3D imagery, whose effectiveness had been demonstrated in security operations for the G7 Ise-Shima Summit, in security planning.」

「For security at the G7 Ise-Shima Summit held in May, the Group provided aerial surveillance images from the "SECOM Airship" and monitored suspicious individuals on ground-based monitors. At the Ibaraki-Tsukuba Science and Technology Ministers' Meeting, it monitored suspicious drones using the "SECOM Drone Detection System" and had patrolling security guards wear a "Wearable Camera System" to transmit live video to the security headquarters. In cooperation with the relevant authorities, these efforts contributed to the safe operation of the international meetings.」
