In April 2022, we launched a full-scale solution business as a new business field and are working to expand into new business areas. The AI field has been the focus of our efforts in anticipation of future growth potential. AI imaging analysis has strong synergies with wireless communications technologies. By working to solve customers’ various issues, we will strive to contribute to society while taking on the challenge of an enormous market.
Human & Traffic flow analysis
By combining our strengths in wireless technology and sensing technology, centre on cameras, with the image analysis AI technology and sensing AI technology of Cybercore Co., Ltd., we will be able to measure and analyze human flows and traffic volumes in central urban areas with a high degree of precision, and realize more efficient administrative operations, such as marketing of regional industries and labor saving in traffic volume surveys. For example, by identifying and analyzing the gender and generation of passengers by time zone, it is possible to efficiently target digital signage advertises installed in various urban areas. This enables both the increase in advertising effects and the revitalization of the economy of the entire urban area.

It is possible to grasp human flows, attributes, number of vehicles, vehicle models, and congestion status.
| STEP1 | A dozen cameras are installed in various places in the city center to analyze the properties of people and vehicles in the captured images for each time using AI techniques. |
| STEP2 | Outputs analytical data to the dashboard on the WEB (real-time measurement is also possible) |
| STEP3 | The acquired analytical data is expected to be used to resolve various local administrative issues and to revitalize the business of local companies and other local private companies. (The data acquired by this system does not include any information that can identify individuals.) |
Cybercore Co., Ltd.
On September 29, 2023, we made CyberCore Co., Ltd. a subsidiary and put in place a structure to build a solutions business that leverages the strengths of both companies in a more efficient and vigorous manner.
Since its founding in 2007, CyberCore has specialized in the development of imaging AI technologies and established proprietary technologies, such as clarification and lightweight. We have delivered proprietary technologies in a variety of industries and fields, including security, retail, public transportation (rail, etc.), FA (factory automation), and automotive. We have a track record of achievements recognized worldwide in the high level of our technological capabilities. For example, we won divisional winners at the AI International Competition held in CVPR *2 in 2021 and 2022, and we were ranked 9th in the category and 1st among Japanese companies in 2022 in the benchmarking of face-recognition technologies conducted by NIST *3.

Retail
With AI cameras, we can analyze customer skeletal movements, hand movements, eye movements, and other movements, and analyze trends and preferences of the products you get. By analyzing customer behavior and popular products, it is possible to identify trends according to age and gender, and to develop product layouts.
Factory
The action analysis solution for the manufacturing industry analyzes the movements of workers with AI cameras. This enables the automated measurement of the working hours required for every process. In addition, as our superiority, we can use image AI techniques to realize high-precision analyses with images from any direction. It can also be used as a tool for improving productivity and a human resource education tool.
Visualization of work
- Analysis without missing detailed movements
- Real-time analysis
- Reforming workers’ mindset
Behavioral analysis
Preparation of standard work
- Behavioral analysis by work and element
- The error between the average time of the process and the target time is also calculated.
Productivity improvement
- Standard work training
- Understanding of work proficiency
- Creation of video manuals
Crime prevention
We will provide customers with the camera solutions they request, tailored to the objects, ranges, and environments they want to monitor. In particular, a thermal camera that can distinguish the object in the dark can be used to analyze AI and distinguish between traders and smuggled fishers as a measure against illicit fishing on the sea, or to AI analyze people who have stepped into areas where entry is prohibited, and to distinguish between those involved or intruders.
