Transitioning from Analyzing AI to Executing AI Agents

DATAFLUCT, a pioneering company known for leveraging unstructured data into valuable insights, is set to make its mark at the Eight EXPO 2026, taking place from February 18th to 19th in Tokyo. Under the theme of the 'AI Agent,' which addresses the pressing issue of labor shortages, DATAFLUCT will unveil its latest lineup from the 'Airlake' series, aimed at transforming how businesses utilize data.

The event promises to showcase innovative AI implementations, highlighting examples such as fully automated ordering systems across 280 nationwide locations and a building management agent capable of automatically generating reports from over 10,000 IoT data points. Attendees will experience firsthand how AI is evolving from merely being a tool to functioning as a collaborative colleague in various industries.

The Shift in the AI Landscape: From Tools to Autonomous Collaborators

As we step into 2026, the digital transformation (DX) wave shifts focus from mere visualization and forecasting to the practical implementation of autonomous AI agents capable of completing tasks independently. DATAFLUCT aims to demonstrate how these AI-driven solutions enhance operational efficiency and decision-making.

Some key highlights from the exhibition include:

1. Airlake Forecasting: Streamlining Retail and Distribution

This AI solution automates complex forecasting tasks that previously required expert knowledge. It can accurately predict optimal inventory levels, customer foot traffic, production schedules, and sales forecasts across various scenarios, thus facilitating better business outcomes.

Showcase Example: The implementation of 'Airlake' at the Kokubu Group’s 288 locations has proven beneficial by reducing stock shortages and improving order management precision through integrated AI demand forecasting and inventory optimization.

2. Airlake Smart Building: Automated Report Generation in Construction

Utilizing vast amounts of unstructured data from IoT sensors, blueprints, and daily records, this AI agent excels at providing insightful reports, including anomaly detection and explanatory backgrounds, which significantly contribute to enhancing asset value.

Showcase Example: A collaborative project with Takenaka Corporation involved the development of a DX support application for buildings, powered by DATAFLUCT and Google Cloud's generative AI.

3. Airlake Retail Agents: Data-Driven Location Strategy

By merging foot traffic data with sales performance, this AI determines the feasibility of new store openings. A deployment with Hokkahokkatei achieved a remarkable precision with a sales forecast error rate of under 17%, optimizing the store development process while reducing the workload on development staff.

Showcase Example: Hokkahokkatei's strategy transformation exemplifies a data-informed approach to site selection, transitioning away from reliance on subjective assessments.

4. Airlake Platform: Transforming Data into Valuable Assets

This robust AI data platform converts unstructured data into structured formats, thereby facilitating high-level data analysis without requiring technical expertise. It enables unified data management while supporting decision-making through effective information collection and analysis.

Showcase Example: Collaboration with Toshiba Digital Solutions showcases how the integration of 'SATLYS' with 'Airlake' facilitates comprehensive visual data accumulation and analytics, automating processes from damage detection to record-keeping.
