Macnica (hereinafter referred to as "Macnica", headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Kazumasa Hara, capital: 11,194 million yen), a total service and solution provider in semiconductors, networks, cybersecurity, and AI/IoT, is pleased to announce that it is one of Macnica 's AI business macnica.ai. Specializing in the mobility field, we have launched the Macnica Mobility Data Platform (Macnica Mobility Data Platform), which integrates data collection and AI execution environments into a single platform, ensuring real-time performance and reliability between the edge and the cloud, which has been an issue in the past for mobility data utilization, and supporting digital transformation in mobility and distribution.

As the demand for digitalization increases due to Society 5.0, it is expected that the use of technology will create new value that has never existed before and solve existing social issues. Macnica has built up a track record in recent years through the social implementation of mobility services such as autonomous driving in depopulated areas.

Initiatives that utilize mobility (e.g., predictive maintenance of road infrastructure and commercial vehicles, prevention of contact with construction machinery, optimization of vehicle dispatch, etc.) specifically involve diagnosing the state of road infrastructure using images, Customers will be able to launch their own new mobility services (MaaS) by utilizing all kinds of data, such as detecting people and objects in real time.

In the utilization of mobility data to realize these, as the amount of data such as vehicle driving data (fleet data) and sensor data (camera, LiDAR, GNSS/IMU) increases and the content of processing becomes more sophisticated, large-capacity and high-performance Remote collection of detailed time-series data and video images, and a data analysis platform using AI are required.

However, when data is collected on the actual site (edge side) and analyzed on the cloud side, real-time performance and reliability cannot be secured between the edge and the cloud, and data cannot be synchronized. In terms of analysis, there were also issues such as "the accuracy of AI estimation decreases due to changes in the input data to the AI from the time of learning due to changes in the site environment."

It is difficult for AI to maintain the same accuracy in actual operation, and management requires a huge amount of man-hours and effort. In order to maintain high estimation accuracy of AI, it is necessary to have a system that can manage and operate data and AI so that data can be continuously collected even during operation and AI can be constantly retrained.

In response to these issues, Macnica uses the Macnica Mobility Data Platform (Macnica Mobility Data Platform), a platform that monitors, relearns, and updates the accuracy of AI models while ensuring real-time and reliability of data collection and accumulation, and can maintain AI with high accuracy. We offer a variety of services tailored to your use case.

For the AI model execution environment, we can propose a hybrid configuration that allows you to select either cloud or edge according to your usage environment. This will greatly contribute to innovative and highly scalable DX transformation centered on mobility data and AI in various fields such as mobility, construction, logistics, agriculture, and robotics.
