Business Introduction
AI
AI is being increasingly adopted for industrial embedded applications such as product inspection (quality inspection work) and infrastructure anomaly detection (power generation equipment monitoring work). We provide added value through high efficiency and labor saving using AI.
NEC's world-class face recognition technology can provide a contactless "anti-spoofing" function, which is a solution that requires higher security and safety performance than RFID management using employee ID cards, etc.
Edge AI is a solution that makes AI technology available for embedded systems. Normally, AI is composed of "learning" and "inference", but Edge AI realizes the utilization of AI and improves real-time performance by executing the "inference" part on FPGA or microcomputer.
By automatically analyzing data collected from customers' equipment in real time, such as temperature, vibration, pressure, power, and flow rate, we can detect abnormalities at the pre-symptomatic stage and find small abnormalities that even inspection experts would not notice. In addition to AI solutions, we also have a variety of sensors that detect abnormalities.
By using mainly images, we can achieve uniformity in inspection, significantly reducing work time and the burden of visual inspection work. Inspection by humans can vary in inspection standards, but by incorporating automatic judgment by AI, more objective data analysis is possible.
AI can detect cracks on road surfaces and runways from video data from in-vehicle cameras such as dashcams, and is expected to reduce lifecycle costs for maintenance. We aim to improve work efficiency within the scope of limited manpower and costs, and to achieve preventive maintenance and extend the lifespan of roads.
