A technology for extracting leak investigation locations across the entire target area using satellite image analysis.

By analyzing images captured from satellite radar emitting L-band microwaves and detecting the unique reflection characteristics of tap water or sewage mixed with soil, we can identify suspected leak locations within a radius of 100 meters. We streamline fieldwork by narrowing the sound survey target distance to an average of 1/10, maximizing the absolute number of leak detections in a short period, including underground leaks that are difficult to visually detect. The results of the field survey can also be input on-site using communication devices such as smartphones linked to GPS, allowing for real-time sharing with the office. Unlike deterioration predictions, we can provide actual soil moisture observation data, enabling us to conduct comprehensive leak investigations in an "efficient" and "cost-effective" manner. ● Purpose Comprehensive screening survey for leak investigations (narrowing down the range of on-site sound surveys) * On-site sound surveys are not included in this service. ● Features Shortened duration for comprehensive surveys (analyzing the entire target area in about 2 months) Increased efficiency and reduced costs for sound survey work (narrowing the survey distance to an average of 1/10) Early detection of underground leaks (reducing effectiveness decline and secondary disaster measures) Digitalization of field surveys (utilizing GIS pipeline data and communication devices) Optimization of pipeline renewal plans (using survey results as foundational data for pipeline diagnostics)

Software that visualizes various risks and issues in pipeline renewal planning using AI technology, supporting the formulation of optimal pipeline renewal plans.

Using AI genetic algorithms, we visualize a group of renewal plans that minimize costs, construction conditions, and risks from leaks, among billions of possibilities. We provide renewal plan proposals that could not be fully considered by human minds. Additionally, by selecting renewal plans through packaging, it is possible to extract renewal targets based on construction units rather than the length of pipelines on the ledger. The order of high-risk items is not necessarily the optimal order. ● Purpose Support for developing pipeline renewal plans ● Features Provides optimal renewal plan proposals according to budget - Allows selection of renewal plans that can reduce risks more effectively within a limited budget - Visualizes the effects obtained based on the budget used Enables efficient use of time through the process of developing renewal plans - Allows for more time to be spent on specific designs after the development of renewal plans - Enables annual plan reviews and adjustments during the term Centralization of information including knowledge and experience - Conditions can be added to align with the organization's considerations, not just based on risks and priorities - Accumulated insights from experienced organizational staff can be passed down through the software If necessary, the following functions can also be applied to the assessment of pipeline leak risks.

Aiming for optimal pipeline management while understanding the overall water flow of the regional pipeline network and considering various conditions and situations.

While grasping the overall water flow of the regional pipeline network, we aim for optimal pipeline management by considering various conditions and situations. This is a software solution that presents everything from problem identification to solutions for the issues faced by each entity. ● Purpose Support for minimizing capital investment in water pipelines and optimizing water operations through AI. ● Features The software we offer for optimizing the maintenance and management of pipelines contributes to solving the challenges of each entity by combining one or both approaches depending on the purpose. While Asset Advance supports the formulation of renewal plans, the Optimizer aims for optimal solutions by focusing on more detailed aspects.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

The signing methods for electronic contracts (party type and witness type) are directly linked to the strength of their legal effectiveness. In this article, we will outline the reasons why the more stringent "party type" has been difficult to popularize until now. ---【Conclusion of this article】-------------------------------- • There are two signing methods for electronic contracts: "witness type" and "party type," which differ in the strictness of identity verification. • The main reasons why the party type has not spread are the three factors of "effort, cost, and the structural risk of entrusting a private key." • However, with the spread of public personal authentication (JPKI) using My Number cards, these three barriers are beginning to crumble. -------------------------------------------------------- The full text of the article can be accessed from the "Related Links."

Seven Corporation has started offering the "SeveNavi AI Cleaning Diagnosis Service," which supports the organization and improvement of cleaning challenges in manufacturing environments. Organizing cleaning challenges with AI and visualizing the next steps In manufacturing cleaning, various factors need to be considered, including the material of the object, type of dirt, adhesion state, currently used cleaning agents, working time, safety, and equipment conditions. On the other hand, there are also several challenges faced on-site, such as: - Unable to determine if the current cleaning method is appropriate - Wanting to reduce cleaning time and labor - Concerns about the safety of cleaning agents and their impact on materials - Wanting to compare with another cleaning method but unable to set test conditions - Not being able to utilize past cases and knowledge for improvement activities SeveNavi organizes information such as the object, dirt, current cleaning methods, and site photos using AI, clearly presenting the applicability of cleaning methods, points of caution, missing information, and how to proceed with comparative testing. If you have any challenges regarding reviewing current cleaning methods, comparing new cleaning methods, or reducing cleaning time and labor, please feel free to consult with us.

On August 28, 2026 (Friday), I participated in the "AMD Embedded Computing Summit Tokyo 2026" and showcased a "Gesture Demo" as a partner of AMD. The demonstration introduced a configuration that combines gesture recognition using OpenCV, status reporting with LLM, and one-axis motor control using INtime 7.2 and RSI-ECAT, enabling collaboration between AI, image processing, and real-time control on a single PC. We presented a next-generation PC-based industrial control system that integrates AI, image processing, and real-time control on one PC. <Overview of Demo Participation> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/AMDEcsTokyoResults.html <Actual Demo Video> https://youtu.be/JmZke75_y0s <AMD CPU + INtime RTOS Introduction Page> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/amdxintime.html #PC #RealTimeOS #IndustrialPC #AI
