AI app "Kabepita" that identifies wallpaper model numbers in seconds developed through industry-academia collaboration between Komatsu Ltd. and Doshisha University.

Komatsu Ltd. (Headquarters: Higashi-Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, CEO: Satoshi Komatsu) has launched the wallpaper AI identification app "Kabepita," equipped with the "Automatic Texture Identification Program" developed in collaboration with the Intelligent Information Engineering Laboratory of Doshisha University (Professor: Masahiro Okuda), on the App Store (January 31) and Google Play (February 7). "Kabepita" can instantly identify approximately 600 types of commonly used wallpapers (mass-produced wallpaper) from six major domestic manufacturers (Sangetsu, Shinkol, Toli, Tokiwa, Lilicala, and Runon) simply by taking a photo with a smartphone, displaying the manufacturer name, product number, and catalog for the top five items. The identification accuracy for the top item is nearly 90%, while the accuracy for displaying the top five items is about 95%. For discontinued or non-digitized product numbers (wallpapers other than those from the six major domestic manufacturers), the app will display the five closest product numbers from the listed items. This app not only improves the efficiency of the identification process but also serves as a highly beneficial tool for limiting the scope of construction, selecting repair materials, and assisting with design, planning, and coordination.

PERI products are used on construction sites around the world. This time, we would like to introduce the "Tassonaro Railway Bridge Renovation Project" in Italy. This historic railway bridge, spanning the Tassonaro River, underwent extensive renovation work in 2023. The reason for the renovation was the cracking of the concrete due to ground subsidence. Built in the 1930s with stone and white marble, this railway bridge is approximately 200 meters long and consists of nine arches. It survived both bombing and sabotage during World War II. To protect the bridge from seismic activity caused by the clay embankment, deep foundations were excavated down to 35 meters below the river surface during construction. Structural renovations were carried out inside the nine arches of the railway bridge using concrete and rebar. To ensure the partial preservation of the structure, PERI developed a custom special solution that combined multiple products and provided support for both the planning phase and on-site construction. PERI products: 1. VARIO GT24 (wall formwork) 2. RUNDFLEX (circular wall formwork) 3. PERI UP (modular scaffolding system) PERI Japan Co., Ltd.

VitaNet conducted a passenger information distribution using AccuNotify at Naha Airport as part of a demonstration project by the Okinawa General Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Information was notified to passengers' smartphones based on their location and timing, achieving a CTR of 14.9%, a user satisfaction rating of 4.77 out of 5, and a system operational rate of 100%. This demonstrated the potential to utilize the airport's passenger flow as a new digital customer touchpoint and advertising medium that allows for measurable effectiveness.
