【Summary】

Experience an AI-powered solution for social infrastructure asset management and inspection (Audin AI).

Using images captured by in-vehicle dashcams and other devices, the system automatically detects road surface damage, faded or peeling lane markings, traffic signs, and more through AI analysis. Based on deterioration assessment results, it enables quantitative prioritization and automated report generation.
In addition, this booth introduces Audin AI, a platform that centrally manages damage locations and service request information within a single PF (platform).

A Total Solution to Road Management Challenges　The Comprehensive Private Outsourcing Model

Concerns such as labor shortages, reliance on individual expertise, and rising costs continue to grow.
At this booth, we introduce a comprehensive private outsourcing model that addresses the increasingly complex challenges of road management by integrally handling inspection, maintenance, repair, complaint response, and data management.
Through cross-functional, bundled outsourcing of multiple operations to the private sector, this model aims to achieve greater operational efficiency, cost stabilization, and improved service quality.

Connecting to a prosperous future ahead～Full Ahead!～
We continue to connect and protect undersea cables, supporting global communications.
With high aspirations, we hone our technology to achieve an even more secure and convenient future beyond.
Centered around our cable-laying vessel "VEGA II," launched in FY2025 to achieve APAC No.1, we introduce our business.

At our booth, we will showcase NTT Advanced Technology (NTT-AT) solutions for facility maintenance and energy efficiency. These offerings reflect market needs and are built on technologies originated from R&D at NTT Laboratories across three distinct areas: photonics, nanoelectronics, and environmental technologies.

Super hydrophobic coating HIREC

HIREC is a superhydrophobic coating that powerfully repels water, snow, and ice (contact angle: 150° or higher). It helps reduce radio-wave attenuation caused by water films, prevents snow/ice accretion, and mitigates accidents due to falling snow. We also offer PFAS-free compliant and water-based product series.
