Demonstration experiment to remotely monitor the rearing environment of a piggery

NTT East is collaborating with the Kanagawa Prefecture Pig Farming Association (Ebina City) and the Kanagawa Prefecture Livestock Technology Center (Ebina City) to start a verification experiment to remotely monitor the rearing environment of pig barns using the IoT (Internet of Things). Sensors installed in the piggery (photo) will automatically collect temperature and humidity data. Network cameras will also be installed so that the environment in the piggery and the health of the pigs can be monitored on a computer at a remote location. The demonstration is scheduled to run until March 2020 in an environment-controlled piggery managed by the Kanagawa Prefecture Pig Farmers Association. In particular, the management of temperature and humidity, which affect the physical condition of pigs, requires a detailed response.

    KM Biologics begins development of vaccine for novel coronavirus

    KM Biologics (Kita Ward, Kumamoto City) has started to develop a vaccine for a new coronavirus infection. At a press conference held on April 25, President Nagasato said, "Our strength lies in the fact that we have skilled technicians and facilities from our days at the Research Institute for Chemotherapy and Serotherapy (KAKETSUKEN). As a member of the Meiji Group, we will do our utmost to expand this business. The new drug will be developed jointly with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, the Institute of Medical Science of the University of Tokyo, and the National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition. The company will consider using its Kikuchi Research Center in Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and its Koshi Plant in Koshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, which are capable of producing vaccines for 57 million new influenza cases.

      Oita Prefecture's experiment in using drones to deliver packages to remote islands

      Oita Prefecture's experiment in using drones to deliver packages to remote islands

      With the participation of local companies, the project aims to be put to practical use as a mechanism for dealing with the logistics and shopping needs of the aging population in remote island areas. A single-rotor drone provided by ciRobotics (Oita City) was used in the experiment. S.T.K. Technology (same) installed a luggage storage box equipped with a drone port on a solid island. Oita Prefecture has been conducting drone verification experiments in mountainous areas and other areas, but this is the first time the maritime route has been used. There are no shops or clinics on Mukujima, and the island is served by a regular service that makes one or two round trips a day, six days a week, but the annual cost of the service exceeds 10 million yen.

        Osaka University's compact and lightweight flexible thermoelectric conversion device

        Associate Professor Toru Sugawara of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research, Osaka University, and Assistant Professor Kenzo Iwayano of the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, and their colleagues have succeeded in reducing the size and weight of a flexible thermoelectric conversion device in which semiconductor chips are mountedon a flexible substrate. The new device converts the temperature difference between the two ends of the semiconductor into electrical information, and is equipped with a high density of about 200 ultra-small semiconductor chips per square centimeter, achieving high heat recovery efficiency and operational reliability. The flexible device, which was developed in 2018, has been improved. The new device uses semiconductor chips that are precisely aligned in size through ultra-fine processing that exceeds conventional methods.

            Shinkawa Electric's vibration monitoring sensor "Zerk X8

            The connected sensors acquire analog data such as temperature, pressure, water level and flow rate as well as vibration. The data is sent via wireless LAN to an antenna several dozen meters away. The data is collected in the "Machine Dossier" cloud system. The data is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner using graphs and other data. Amazon's Amazon Web Services (AWS) is used as the system infrastructure. The data can be easily viewed on smartphones and other devices. The annual fee for using the system is 48,000 yen (excluding consumption tax) for each eight-point sensor. SEC of America (North Carolina), a wholly owned subsidiary in the U.S., develops and produces the system. Shinkawa Sensor Technology (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo), a subsidiary in Japan, will develop and produce higher-specification non-contact vibration sensors.

                    Momo enters smart city infrastructure

                    Momo is engaged in the development of IoT devices. Momo is engaged in the development of IoT devices. In the Fusio-dai area, a consortium of businesses, universities, and other organizations has been formed under the leadership of Momo, and has been exchanging opinions with residents twice a month with the aim of creating a smart city. The New Town is facing the issue of an aging population, and with a certain number of people living in a small area and limited entrances and exits, it was judged to be a suitable environment for the verification experiment. The project will be proposed to the local government as a project that directly reflects the needs of the residents, and a model will be established for the verification experiment, which will be expanded to other new towns from 2021.
