The realization of a "digital twin" where the physical site and virtual space collaborate with each other!

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) refers to a technology that allows mobile entities such as robots to simultaneously perform self-localization and create environmental maps. Areas where SLAM is beneficial include autonomous driving and autonomous mobility systems. When constructing an autonomous driving system, it can be broadly divided into three categories: "perception," "decision-making," and "action," with SLAM being a crucial technology in the "perception" category. Specifically, it acquires point cloud data from sensors such as LiDAR and performs specific tasks, such as avoiding obstacles, using the map information and self-localization constructed by SLAM. 【Features】 - Supports autonomous operation of construction and heavy machinery by using LiDAR and other technologies for spatial recognition (self-location, situational awareness). - Enables self-localization even in environments where GPS cannot be used. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Explaining how to utilize AI to enhance safety management and prevent contact accidents!

In manufacturing factories and warehouses in the logistics and transportation industries, various vehicles for transportation and operations, such as forklifts, trucks, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), are frequently in operation. Additionally, in construction sites within the construction industry, vehicles such as cranes and heavy machinery, as well as dump trucks, are utilized. In each of these environments, vehicles and people share the same space, leading to a high risk of contact and often resulting in serious accidents. In particular, among labor accidents caused by forklifts, incidents due to "being caught or entangled" and "collisions" account for over 60% of the total, with nearly half of these cases resulting in fatalities. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

Thank you very much for visiting our company website and catalog, and for your interest in our diesel engine generators. From customer surveys, the most common feedback we received was: - I want to see the actual generators that have been installed. - I want to see them operating under real load. - I want to hear the opinions of companies that have installed them. - I want to see the generators in operation before making a purchase. After all, it’s understandable to feel worried about purchasing a generator without seeing the actual unit first, right? As the saying goes, "Seeing is believing," so we will be holding this tour. It will take place in that area of the Kanto region, where summer temperatures exceed 40°C. We successfully operated our generators this summer as well, so we are confident in handling the heat (sweat). Additionally, it has been confirmed that our generators equipped with the world-leading "Scania engine" are "fuel-efficient." This will surely help reduce daily operating costs. Please note that while we will provide kind and courteous assistance, the meeting and dispersal will be at the site (transportation costs and other expenses will be borne by the customer), so please understand this in advance.
