エイト日本技術開発 and FullDepth have entered into a capital and business alliance and announced plans to jointly develop a domestically produced AUV for infrastructure inspections. The companies aim to deepen their long-term cooperation and build a foundation for promoting marine digital transformation in Japan.
FullDepth will lead technology development, while エイト日本技術開発 (EJEC) will lead application development. The companies outlined a policy of promoting integrated domestic production from design through maintenance.
Operating rates and the weaker yen have been identified as challenges for overseas-made AUVs, and the two companies have deepened their collaboration through repeated demonstrations.
The alliance is intended to establish a foundation for marine digital transformation in Japan, and is positioned as an initiative to promote domestic production and foster greater self-reliance in the domestic market.
