DXYZ Incorporates FreeiD Facial Recognition ID Platform at Riche d'Or Umekouji
DXYZ Corporation, a member of the Migalo Holdings Group, has reached an exciting milestone by implementing its FreeiD facial recognition ID platform at the newly developed rental property, Riche d'Or Umekouji, managed by Meitetsu Urban Development. This installation marks the first usage of the FreeiD system in a rental apartment in Kyoto Prefecture.
Overview of Riche d'Or Umekouji
Situated in the quiet yet accessible area of Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto, Riche d'Or Umekouji is an eleven-story residential building designed to offer its residents a harmonious blend of a serene living environment and the conveniences of urban life, particularly being near Kyoto Station. The implementation of FreeiD at various points in the property, including the main entrance, sub-entrance, delivery box, and bicycle parking area, demonstrates a commitment to enhancing the security and convenience of living.
The FreeiD platform provides a significant advantage by allowing residents to enter and exit the building without using their hands, ensuring ease of access even when carrying items. In addition, it employs cutting-edge facial recognition technology that upholds high security standards, creating a smart and secure living environment.
The Purpose of FreeiD
FreeiD, developed by DXYZ, represents a pioneering stride in integrating facial recognition into everyday activities. This platform effectively consolidates all forms of identification—such as wallets and ID cards—into a user's face, thus enabling access, payment, and identity verification with a single facial registration. The motto, 'Connecting the World with Your Face,' embodies the platform's vision of eliminating the need for physical items like keys and wallets in various scenarios.
DXYZ offers a tailored 'FreeiD Mansion' solution specifically designed for multi-family residences, which allows seamless movement from common areas like entrances and elevators to private units without the need for traditional keys. As of January 2026, this innovative approach has been incorporated into over 321 properties throughout Japan, establishing DXYZ as a leader in creating all-facial-recognition apartments.
The company is also extending its facial recognition services beyond housing complexes. They are actively deploying solutions in offices, nurseries, golf courses, and even theme parks. In addition to these applications, DXYZ is advancing its offerings with initiatives such as facial recognition payments, branded as 'FreeiD Pay,' and projects incorporating My Number Card functionalities.
The Future of Secure Living Spaces
Riche d'Or Umekouji serves as a trailblazer not only by being the first rental apartment in Kyoto to utilize FreeiD but also by illustrating the direction of future urban living solutions. Through the ongoing introduction of facial recognition platforms, DXYZ and Migalo Holdings Group are committed to continuously offering added value in creating residences that meet modern safety and security expectations
