Enhancements to Spectee SCR: Tsunami Alerts and Typhoon Tracking Upgraded

Major Upgrades to Spectee SCR

Spectee Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is advancing digital transformation in resilience management by announcing significant upgrades to its integrated supply chain risk management cloud service, Spectee SCR. The enhancements include advanced functionalities for tsunami alerts and typhoon path predictions.

Background of the Enhancements

In recent years, companies have become increasingly concerned about supply chain risks linked to severe natural disasters. This trend has intensified demand for precise and prompt situational awareness during crises. High-profile incidents include the tsunami alerts following the Kamchatka earthquake in August 2025 and tsunami occurrences related to the offshore Aomori and Hokkaido earthquake in December of the same year. Additionally, the risk associated with the Nankai Trough earthquakes demands urgent attention, especially within the manufacturing sector.

Furthermore, Japan's Kyushu region, a significant hub for the semiconductor industry, frequently faces typhoons, raising concerns about possible disruptions to the supply chain. To address these challenges, Spectee has reinforced its tsunami and typhoon risk information display features, allowing for rapid identification of relevant suppliers and clear visual representation on maps for better risk management.

The new functionalities are designed to allow seamless integration of meteorological and disaster information with supplier data, significantly bolstering supply chain risk management by facilitating a swift initial response.

Overview of New Features

1. Enhanced Tsunami Alert Visualization

Users can now view tsunami warning areas overlaid on maps, providing a clear visual representation of affected regions when alerts are issued. The home screen displays tags corresponding to the alert level (warnings, advisories, etc.), enabling quick recognition of hazard levels. This visual approach replaces the previous reliance on textual information, allowing manufacturers and suppliers near coastal areas to swiftly identify locations at high risk of impact. Moreover, when combined with evacuation alert features, this enhancement drastically shortens the time to initiate responses.

2. Display of Typhoon Path Predictions

Spectee SCR also now supports the overlay of typhoon path forecasts from the Japan Meteorological Agency on maps. This feature enables businesses to cross-reference their supply chains with predicted typhoon trajectories, allowing them to undertake early measures such as securing inventory or exploring alternative production strategies. To cater to global supply chain management needs, information from the National Hurricane Center in the United States can also be displayed on the same map.

Spectee remains committed to leveraging technology to enhance supply chain resilience, supporting sustainable business operations for enterprises.
