Fujitsu Restricted and Aeon Mall Ota, a shopping center operated by Aeon Mall, have introduced the launch of a pilot undertaking utilizing millimetre-wave radar evaluation AI to detect falls, improper use and extended keep, in barrier-free bogs at Aeon Mall Ota. The pilot undertaking will run from August 1, 2024 (Thursday) to January 31, 2025 (Friday).
Background
Fujitsu has been conducting pilot tasks with TOTO since January 2024 to make use of millimetre-wave radar evaluation AI for monitoring in areas that require particular consideration to privateness, reminiscent of barrier-free bogs in industrial services and prepare stations. The aim is to create a public restroom surroundings the place everybody can really feel protected and comfy. Aeon Mall Ota additionally confronted the problem of making certain even larger security by detecting falls and different surprising accidents in barrier-free bogs at an early stage. This led to the collaboration between the 2 corporations, ensuing within the pilot undertaking at Aeon Mall Ota.
Pilot undertaking overview
Schedule:
August 1, 2024 (Thursday) to January 31, 2025 (Friday)
Location:
Chosen barrier-free bogs inside Aeon Mall Ota (Ota Metropolis, Gunma Prefecture)
Abstract:
The pilot undertaking will use millimetre-wave radar evaluation AI to detect falls and different anomalies in barrier-free bogs, whereas respecting consumer privateness. Particularly, Fujitsu’s millimetre-wave radar shall be put in in chosen barrier-free bogs at Aeon Mall Ota to detect bathroom customers. This data shall be transmitted to the cloud in real-time for AI evaluation. The system will then monitor for falls, improper use and extended keep inside the barrier-free bogs, verifying the effectiveness of security measures. The undertaking can even accumulate information on the frequency and occupancy price of every space to enhance the bathroom surroundings for customers. This pilot undertaking is predicated on the outcomes of the earlier pilot undertaking performed by TOTO and Fujitsu.
Roles of the 2 corporations:
- Aeon Mall Ota:
Guaranteeing the protection of barrier-free bathroom customers, amassing information inside the barrier-free bogs and understanding utilization patterns. - Fujitsu:
Offering monitoring know-how, together with millimetre-wave radar evaluation AI, amassing and analysing information, and bettering know-how primarily based on technical evaluations.
Future Plans
Fujitsu goals to additional enhance its monitoring know-how primarily based on the analysis outcomes and promote the widespread adoption of barrier-free bogs that everybody can use safely at Aeon Mall. Fujitsu additionally plans to commercialise privacy-conscious sensing know-how for the Japanese market by March 2025.
