We have started a demonstration experiment in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, related to IoT.

On October 1, 2019, we began the operation of a demonstration experiment aimed at observing river water levels and rainfall using IoT, which was concluded with the city of Miyoshi. River level sensors have been installed in the Shin Kakutani River, a tributary of the Shirokawa Valley and Butsukitani River flowing through Yamashiro Town, as well as in the Onishi River and Hiura River. Additionally, a rain gauge has been installed on the rooftop of the former Norouchi Elementary School in Ikeda Town. Both areas have experienced incidents that threaten the safety of local residents due to concentrated heavy rainfall in recent years. We hope that the data uploaded to the cloud will serve as a means of disaster prevention and mitigation, such as sending alert notifications to city staff when dangerous data is detected.
Furthermore, we sincerely hope that by accumulating data, it can be used as a means to predict and forecast future incidents, thereby avoiding situations such as road flooding due to rising water levels, which could hinder evacuation efforts.
We will continue to engage in discussions with relevant parties in the city of Miyoshi and strive to contribute to local disaster prevention and mitigation efforts.
