      On April 23, EDION announced that it had acquired all shares of Yumemi (Yodogawa Ward, Osaka City), which operates a children's programming school called "Robodan," making it a subsidiary. The company said the shares were acquired from Akinori Shigemi, president of Yumemiru, and venture capitalists. In December 2018, EDION entered the robot programming education business for elementary and junior high school students, accelerating the expansion of the business in anticipation of making programming education compulsory in elementary schools from fiscal 2008. The amount of the stock acquisition is estimated to be around 1 billion yen. Photo taken on December 23, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

        Otta will apply the know-how of its service for children to prevent dementia patients from going missing due to wandering. The service will first be offered in Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture, and is expected to be used by several hundred people in the first year. The service will be available at the city office. The terminals will be distributed mainly in the form of magnetic clips that can be wrapped around a staff or attached to shoes. The monthly fee for the service is expected to be several hundred yen. While the routes to and from school are fixed for children to some extent, it has been difficult for the elderly to read the range of their activities. The city of Minoh began a verification experiment in 2016 by distributing monitoring terminals to elementary and junior high school students, and in 2005 expanded the scope of the experiment to include the elderly.
