Macnica (hereafter Macnica, President: Kiyoshi Nakashima, capital: 11,194 million yen) is a company that imports, sells, and develops semiconductors and network equipment. , Tokyu Facility Service Co., Ltd. (Head office location: 4-10-2 Yoga, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Board Director: Setsu Hamana, capital: 100 million yen) is in charge of cleaning operations on the Tokyu Line and Tokyo Metro Line. We are pleased to announce that we have installed the automatic cleaning robot "Neo" from Avidbots (Headquarters: Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, CEO: Faizan Sheikh) at Shibuya Station.

Tokyu Facility Service Co., Ltd. anticipates a future decline in the working population, and although it is a small number of people, it effectively utilizes AI (artificial intelligence) and ICT (information and communication technology) to perform high-quality cleaning, We introduced the automatic cleaning robot "Neo" for the purpose of using the facility comfortably. In addition, the exterior is wrapped with a new model train on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line to create a sense of unity as a member of the Tokyu Group.

Avidbots' "Neo" can automatically clean a wide range of floors. If the cleaning staff starts the automatic cleaning of the "Neo" in the area they want to clean, the floor cleaning will be completed while they are doing other manual cleaning work, so everyone involved in cleaning can do it. greatly reduces the load on In the past, cleaning a large area required each person to operate a single cleaning machine, requiring many people to work at the same time. In the automatic cleaning of "Neo", one worker can perform cleaning all at once by simply starting automatic cleaning of multiple "Neo" in order, which greatly improves work efficiency, and cleaning work is always performed with uniform quality. You can easily visualize and manage the work by checking the results in the post-work report.

Macnica will provide Tokyu Facility Services with support, maintenance, and installation services for "Neo." Tokyu Facility Services will install "Neo" in the highly public concourse of Shibuya Station on the Tokyu Line and Tokyo Metro Line, and will verify the cleaning quality and operational efficiency. Going forward, the company will also consider installing it in offices, schools, commercial facilities, and other locations, aiming to further improve the quality of cleaning operations and operational efficiency. Due to safety considerations, the system will not initially be operated during daytime hours, but rather during the late night hours after the last train and before the first train.

In the future, opportunities to use automatic cleaning robots are expected to further expand due to demands for measures to combat labor shortages and to improve service quality. Macnica sells excellent service robots, including Neo, and provides installation support to reduce customer anxiety when introducing service robots, as well as maintenance and support services to support effective operation after installation. Macnica contributes to the business of customers who can advance business innovation by utilizing service robots.

In addition, we are planning to hold a seminar in June to introduce user introduction examples of "Neo" and initiatives to utilize robots in facility management. Please participate.
Details will be announced soon.
