background

Data utilization as well as risk investigation is the mission of the entire group

Based on Yasuda Risk Engineering Co., Ltd., which was established in 1997, we currently aim to be a “solution service provider for security, health, and wellbeing” and provide services such as consulting, research, and seminars related to corporate risk management. Sompo Risk Management Co., Ltd.
We are developing an analytics business that conducts risk assessments related to natural disasters, a risk management business that conducts research and development and consulting services related to risk management, and a cyber security business that conducts vulnerability diagnosis and cyber risk assessment.

In the Risk Management Business Division, which provides consulting related to such risk management, we investigate and analyze the degree of risk in the insurance underwritten by insurance companies from customers, and take measures that lead to safety and disaster mitigation from a third-party perspective. The Risk Research Department conducts field engineering that proposes

- Mr. Kurose
In addition to conducting risk assessments to identify issues at customer sites, we also provide consulting services from a management perspective. Especially recently, there has been an increase in consulting related to sustainability areas such as carbon neutrality and ESG. We are also actively working to develop businesses that utilize digital platforms, such as predictive maintenance that utilizes IoT and AI technologies, which are highly compatible with insurance products.

In particular, he explains that the business that utilizes data is an area that the entire group is focusing on as a mission.

ー Mr. Ichikawa
The Risk Research Department is divided into five groups, one of which is the Logistics/Spot Assistance Group. We are working on visualizing and using it for consulting. In addition, we are also working to quickly collect information on the extent of damage in the event of a wide-area disaster using drones.

Task

Visually confirming images is a heavy work burden, and an approach to improve efficiency is necessary.

The Sompo Group has been providing insurance to logistics companies for some time, covering risks such as injury to site workers and damage to cargo handled.

ー Mr. Shibata
As a logistics company, we can provide high-quality services to shippers by preventing damage to cargo caused by accidents that occur at warehouses and other sites. This is one of the services that is attracting attention from logistics companies who are our customers.

One such service for the logistics industry is a consulting service called forklift operation diagnosis. In this service, drive recorders are installed on forklifts, and video information of forklift claws (forks) is accumulated in an SD card along with data such as steering wheel movement, acceleration, and braking. I am proposing improvements. One-third of the work time was spent checking images visually, which was one of the issues.

- Mr. Hikawa
Not only does it take time to check, but there is also the possibility that the points will change if the person who sees it is different. Considering the current situation of business expansion, we thought that a new approach was necessary to improve operational efficiency.

and look back on those days.
