01Blockchain-based wireless access sharing technology
For sharing of all types of private wireless access, including Wi-Fi and private 5GRobustGreen

The exhibition will include a dynamic demonstration of the blockchain-based wireless access sharing technology using commercial Wi-Fi APs and smartphones, in contrast to the FY2023 exhibition which used a laptop. In addition, a static exhibition of an implementation using private 5G devices will also be presented.

02Work Process Generation Method for Automating Non-Routine Tasks
Generating adaptable work procedures from operation logsSafety

We will exhibit a method of automatically generating work processes by integrating information such as operation logs and procedure manuals. This technology enables automation of work processes, including non-routine tasks, suggests improvements, and generates operation manuals automatically. In this exhibition, we will demonstrate how work processes can be generated for non-routine tasks, such as data processing, while interacting with systems and files, and how improvements to operations can be suggested.

03Integration of Infrastructure Maintenance Technology and Operational Technology
Bringing digital transformation to all infrastructure and field work! Transforming workstyles with digital solutions and AISafety

Integrating the technologies of infrastructure, equipment, and work support to visualize the future of field work

04Hand-work operation support using holographic hand-model
Holographic hand-model makes it easy to visualize manual workSafety

We will exhibit a holographic hand-model for supporting hand-work. This hand-model is easy to understand visually
and aims to contribute to shortening work time and improving work safety. Work simulation, remote work support, and remote training are being considered as possible targets for application of this technology.

05Road damage estimation for heavy rain
Building a Disaster-Resistant Society with AI Learning from Past DisastersRobustSafety

Using technologies cultivated in communications, we are researching and developing technologies to realize proactive responses to large-scale earthquakes and intensifying torrential rain disasters by predicting damage to infrastructure facilities such as water supply and roads. In this article, we will introduce a visual image of road damage prediction.

06Camera Pose Estimation for 4D Infrastructure Management System
Identifying Facility Locations in Dashcam ImagesRecmdGreen

The use of dash cams for infrastructure inspections has been expanding, in recent years. However, the dashcam inspections requires manual tasks, image-to facility linking, due to GPS positioning error. This exhibition demonstrates our technology that accurately identifies the location of facilities in dash came images. Inspection images with facilities location information can also be shared with other operators, reducing the overall inspection workload across social infrastructure.

07Optical fiber environmental monitoring for detection of road excavation construction
STOP Excavation Incident - The new service for infrastructure monitoringRecmdRobustGreen

We will introduce a use case of optical fiber environmental monitoring, i.e., road excavation detection. The novel technology aims to acquire a new social infrastructure monitoring business using optical fiber networks. The exhibition shows a system on the cloud that automatically detects and reports events without human intervention, which is expected to promote early introduction and develop new use cases.

08Infrastructure Asset Management Technology for Regional Microgrid Promotion
Realization of a decarbonized society through communication facilities that cooperate with social infrastructureRobustGreen

In recent years, social issues related to the environment and energy have been highlighted. This research will evaluate the applicability of telecommunication facilities to new social infrastructures (using regional micro-grids for energy supply, energy savings, etc.) to solve the above issues and realize low-cost facility construction.

09Non-stop inspection method for wind turbines using drones
Continuous wind turbine inspection to Increase power generationGreenSafety

Onshore and offshore wind power generation is drawing attention as one of the power sources that can increase domestic energy self-sufficiency.
The developed method aims to detect the presence of blade damage and motor abnormalities using drones without stopping the operation of wind turbines. With the this method, it will be possible to increase the amount of power generated by wind power and maintain it safely and efficiently.
There will be a static display of images and drones showing the demonstration experiment.

10Estimating cognitive state of workers to eliminate accidents
Understanding human cognition to ensure workplace safetySafety

To eliminate workplace accidents caused by human error, it is necessary to prevent mistakes by determining the cognitive state of workers. We aim to tackle this challenge by estimating the cognitive state using eye movement (gaze and pupil). In this exhibition, we introduce an effective training system that can evaluate whether or not a dangerous area has been recognized, using eye movement information from commercially available devices, targeting a dangerous training scene in a VR environment.
