Mind and Body Function Assessment Tool "AYUMI Scan"

AYUMI BIONICS Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Tokyo), a startup promoting safety management AI using its unique AI motion analysis technology, is pleased to announce that it has been selected as one of the two co-creation partners in the "NX-Tech HUB Open Innovation Program," an open innovation event hosted by NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. aimed at accelerating the use of generative AI to solve on-site challenges. This project, selected after a final review from a total of 324 proposals submitted by 61 companies, will commence a demonstration experiment aimed at achieving zero labor accidents in logistics sites in collaboration with NX Cash Logistics Co., Ltd. starting in January 2026.

AYUMI BIONICS Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that "AYUMI Scan" has been implemented at Skylark Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Skylark HD"). By utilizing this tool, we aim to strengthen the assessment and prevention of fall risks, particularly for middle-aged and older employees, and to realize a safer workplace environment. Skylark HD has introduced a system that allows for the re-employment of employees as "Veterans" until the age of 75, even after the retirement age of 65, promoting an environment where older employees can thrive for a longer period. As part of this initiative, they have been working to raise awareness of physical fitness to prevent fall accidents caused by the decline in physical functions associated with aging. However, with many employees working late at night or early in the morning, the processes of measurement, aggregation, and reporting of results have become burdensome for the field, leading to a demand for a simpler physical fitness measurement method. Against this backdrop, Skylark HD decided to implement "AYUMI Scan" after comparing various tools. The data on muscle strength, balance, and flexibility measured by "AYUMI Scan" will be managed in the cloud and utilized for risk assessments at the individual, departmental, and line levels.

AYUMI BIONICS Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that our body function measurement tool "AYUMI Scan" has been introduced at the AGC Chiba Plant. The purpose of this tool's introduction is to enable employees to regularly measure their own body functions, leading to an awareness and prevention of fall risks. Background of the Introduction: Increasing Fall Accidents and the Importance of Health Management Under the motto of "Human Resources AGC," AGC is committed to improving the safety of the working environment, and its health management initiatives have been recognized. While accidents such as chemical burns are on the decline, the aging of employees has led to an increase in fall accidents, which has become a challenge. As a new measure to help employees recognize changes in their body functions and reduce fall risks, the introduction of "AYUMI Scan" has been decided at the AGC Chiba Plant. Overview and Implementation Starting in 2024, the AGC Chiba Plant will begin body function measurements using "AYUMI Scan," initially targeting employees in indirect departments. In the future, it will be expanded to the manufacturing department, creating an environment where all employees can understand their own physical condition.
