Innovative Partnership between Hitachi Systems and EIZO

Hitachi Systems has teamed up with EIZO to launch an advanced platform called the "CYDEEN Video Data Utilization System." This innovative solution harnesses cutting-edge digital and video technologies to facilitate the maintenance management of social infrastructure. By integrating, sharing, clarifying, and analyzing visual data from various infrastructures—such as roads, water supply systems, electricity, and railways—this system aims to significantly improve how maintenance workers detect wear and tear or malfunctions in aging equipment. Furthermore, it addresses safety and efficiency challenges faced by frontline workers affected by the dual pressures of a declining birthrate and an aging workforce.

Background

The deterioration of social infrastructure, such as roads and railways, has escalated over recent years, leading to severe incidents affecting public safety, including road collapses and power outages. As the number of aging structures is expected to rise, especially with projections indicating that by 2030 the challenges will intensify, the urgency for effective maintenance systems becomes more prominent. Additionally, with a shortage of skilled labor due to an increasing number of retirements, there is a pressing need to enhance both safety measures and operational efficiency in the field of infrastructure management.

Key Features of the CYDEEN System

The CYDEEN system offers a wide range of features designed to support frontline workers:

1. Video Integration: The system allows for centralized monitoring of multiple sites regardless of the camera brand, enabling managers to oversee all feeds from various locations through their PC or tablet. This capability streamlines decision-making and ensures timely communication with workers on-site.

2. Video Sharing: With this tool, less experienced workers can share live footage with seasoned professionals for remote guidance, reducing the necessity for on-site visits by experts. This feature not only facilitates knowledge sharing but also enhances security by transmitting only video signals and enabling remote checks on critical systems without direct internet connections.

3. Video Clarity Enhancement: By improving the clarity of footage in real-time or on-demand, the system ensures efficient monitoring of areas deemed dangerous for humans, thus avoiding the need for repetitive filming.

4. AI Utilization for Video Analysis: The system employs AI for anomaly detection and automated categorization, which assists in identifying potential errors and alleviating the impact of human labor shortages on monitoring tasks.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, Hitachi Systems and EIZO aim to further enhance the CYDEEN video data utilization system by developing advanced features and incorporating more AI-driven capabilities. Their ongoing research and development efforts will focus on addressing pressing issues regarding social infrastructure.

Upcoming Events

The CYDEEN system will be showcased at the "Hitachi Social Innovation Forum 2025 JAPAN OSAKA," to be held on July 17, 2025, at the Hilton Osaka. For additional details, please visit Hitachi Systems Seminar.
