Challenges We Address

• ・On-site access involves safety risks, particularly in high or confined spaces
• ・Inspections rely heavily on the experience of veteran engineers, accelerating the shortage of skilled personnel
• ・Inspection results are stored in fragmented files and formats, making long-term comparison difficult
• ・Significant time and effort are required for inspection planning, process management, and report creation

Key Functions & Value We Provide

Autonomous Close-Range Inspection by Drones

Automated inspection of hazardous locations such as bridge undersides, tunnel interiors, and elevated structures

Reproducible Inspections Through Flight Templates

Flight routes and imaging conditions are standardized and templated for each structure, ensuring consistent inspection conditions every time.

Centralized Data Management & Year-over-Year Comparison

Inspection images, videos, and records are managed in the cloud, enabling easy comparison with past and previous-year data.

Safety and Scalability Enabled by Domestic Flight Controllers

Because flight control logic is fully controlled in-house or by domestic partners, our systems can flexibly adapt to future regulatory changes and evolving operational requirements

Assumed Use Cases

• ・Monitoring river water levels and flood-risk areas during heavy rainfall
• ・Pre-disaster assessment and post-disaster damage evaluation of landslide-prone areas (slopes, steep terrain, etc.)
• ・Damage assessment of bridges, roads, and lifeline infrastructure following earthquakes
• ・Rapid assessment of affected areas across large-scale facilities such as dams and embankments

Solution Features

• ・From normal operations, hazardous areas and inspection points are organized on maps and registered as predefined flight routes
• ・In the event of a disaster, autonomous flights based on these predefined routes enable rapid, wide-area situation assessment
• ・Captured images and videos are immediately uploaded to the cloud, allowing authorities and command centers to review conditions remotely

Value Provided

• ・Eliminates the need for on-site personnel to enter dangerous areas, ensuring safety
• ・Enables comprehensive scanning of affected areas to quickly identify priority locations
• ・Allows quantitative assessment of damage and changes by comparing disaster data with routine inspection records

Value of Domestic Flight Controllers (Disaster Prevention Domain)

• ・Flight control parameters can be adjusted in accordance with domestic laws and operational guidelines
• ・Designed for operation without reliance on external networks during disasters, including consideration for future operational needs
• ・Supports secure deployment in critical infrastructure airspace while accounting for security and supply chain risks

Key Functions

Flight Planning & Mission Management

• ・Route definition on maps, including altitude, speed, and imaging points
• ・Automation of routine missions through templated mission planning

Fleet Monitoring

• ・Centralized monitoring of operational status across multiple aircraft and locations
• ・Management of flight logs, alert histories, and maintenance information

Data Management

• ・Unified management of captured data, inspection records, and associated metadata
• ・Support for year-over-year comparison and report generation

Access Control & Permission Management

• ・Definition of operation permissions by site and role, with operational rules enforced at the software level

Integration with Domestic Flight Controllers

• ・Links flight control logic with platform-level operational logic to enforce safety constraints (airspace restrictions, battery thresholds, flight condition limits, etc.)
• ・Enables early detection and prevention of autonomous flight failures
• ・Designed to support updates from both software and flight controller perspectives, allowing flexible adaptation to future regulatory changes and operational rule revisions

Scalability & Integration

• ・Integration with equipment management systems (CMMS) to automatically register inspection targets
• ・Visualization of risk maps through integration with GIS and geographic data
• ・Data architecture designed for future integration with advanced analytics platforms

Key Focus Areas

• ・Advancement of autonomous flight and automated analysis for infrastructure inspection
• ・Validation of drone utilization models in disaster prevention and response domains
• ・Co-creation of safety standards and operational guidelines based on domestically developed flight controllers
• ・Development of analytics and risk prediction models leveraging drone-collected data
