New RFID inventory and article management system
automatically obtains location and shows it on a digital map

Our main product:
Our RFID inventory and article management system realizes improvements in productivity through DX*, reducing the amount of work involved in storage and retrieval, stocktaking, picking, and search in manufacture (factories), distribution (warehouses), and retail (stores) by approximately 80%. It visualizes product position and can also be used in digital marketing.
*DX is an abbreviation for digital transformation. It is a series of efforts to transform all economic activities that a corporation engages in to cope with the digitization of the market environment that surrounds it, as well as the business model that configures them, and the corporation itself, including the organization, culture, and systems.

Advantages of our technology:
In the past, it was not possible to specify location by RFID* (IC tag), but our company’s radio wave phase analysis (patented in Japan, US, and Europe) has realized highly accurate location identification for the first time. Because RFID (IC tag) has the low cost of about 10 yen per piece compared to 100 to 1,000 yen per sensor for BLE and other beacons, it can be affixed to large quantities of objects, making inventory and article management possible in situations where it had hitherto seemed impossible.
*RFID is a non-contact system using radio waves to read RF tag data. Whereas a barcode system scans tags one at a time with lasers, etc., RFID can read multiple tags all at once with radio waves, and it can read them even at a distance, as long as it is within the scope reachable by radio waves.

Our aim for business and business partners:
We wish to discuss with manufacturers working on DX to improve on-site efficiency and reconstruct the supply chain about the introduction of our company’s solution.

Demonstration content:
We will demonstrate reading of large quantities of items with an RFID reader and display on a digital map.
