River water level monitoring sensor (agricultural reservoir monitoring, remote water level monitoring of reservoirs)

From October 15 (Tuesday) to 18 (Friday), 2019, CEATEC 2019 was held at Makuhari Messe. CEATEC is one of the largest exhibitions related to IT technology. Our company showcased our ultrasonic water level gauge at the booth of Tokushima Prefecture and Minami Town within the regional IoT promotion lab. Just before the CEATEC event, Typhoons No. 15 and No. 19 struck the Kanto region, causing significant damage such as river flooding, which led to increased interest in our ultrasonic water level gauge from the attendees.

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.

The "Tokushima ICT Bazaar Vol. 5" was held over two days from January 24 (Friday) to January 25 (Saturday), 2020, at the Asty Tokushima 2nd floor and Tokiwa Plaza in Tokushima City. This marks the fifth event of its kind, and our company is participating for the second time following last year. At our booth, we showcased ultrasonic river monitoring sensors, drinking water reservoir sensors, and a reference exhibit of harmful wildlife capture sensors utilizing the Tokushima IoT platform, as well as a dashboard that allows for remote confirmation and analysis of data from each sensor. Additionally, we held a seminar titled "The Effects and Possibilities of Observing and Monitoring Water Levels and Rainfall Using the Tokushima IoT Platform," which was attended by many participants, for which we express our sincere gratitude. We are committed to doing our utmost to solve regional issues with the help of IoT solutions, and we kindly ask for your continued guidance and support.

We exhibited at the 6th Japan IT Week Kansai IoT & 5G Solutions Exhibition held at Intex Osaka from January 19 (Wednesday) to January 21 (Friday), 2022. Under the theme "Solving Regional Issues with IoT Solutions," we conducted demonstrations and displays of IoT solutions for monitoring water levels in reservoirs and rivers, monitoring drinking water reservoir levels, rainfall observation, and measures against pests. This time, in addition to numerical data, we showcased a solution that uploads still image data to the cloud, where AI analyzes the still images automatically. Many visitors came to our booth, and we sincerely thank you for that. On the 20th (Thursday), our president, Kubo, gave a lecture at a "Public Seminar by the President," which was attended by many people. We would like to express our gratitude once again. Based on the valuable feedback, comments, and advice we received from all the visitors, we are committed to further refining not only our products but also our entire service to contribute to solving regional issues. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the visitors, the organizers, and everyone involved.
