Strategic Partnership between Tamron and Mapry
In a significant move to enhance geo-spatial solutions,
Tamron Co., Ltd., a leading comprehensive optical equipment manufacturer based in Saitama City, has established a strategic partnership with
Mapry Inc., which specializes in geospatial information platforms. As part of this collaboration, Tamron has also made an investment in Mapry to bolster their shared vision of digital transformation.
The Elevation of Geo-spatial Information
Mapry is revolutionizing how forestry and civil engineering sites utilize remote sensing services, aiming to make vast amounts of measurement and analysis data accessible for effective supply chain management. Traditionally, the cost and complexity associated with surveying equipment hindered the adoption of three-dimensional data collection and utilization. However, Mapry is streamlining this process with innovative solutions that simplify access to valuable data.
As one of the largest countries in the world in terms of forest area, Japan's forests cover approximately two-thirds of the nation’s land. Despite the increase in forest accumulation each year, the challenges of a decreasing and aging workforce in forestry hinder optimal management practices. This mismanagement leads to compromised forest functions such as landslide prevention, soil preservation, and biodiversity conservation, which ultimately result in social issues like natural disasters and climate change-related temperature rises.
Synergizing Optical and Digital Technologies
Tamron’s robust optical technology potential combined with Mapry’s advanced digital solutions is expected to create new synergies, addressing not only forestry issues but also contributing to resolving challenges across various industrial fields. Tamron's investment in Mapry is a strategic step aimed at harnessing both companies' strengths to foster innovation and effective resource management.
With this partnership, Tamron is committed to responding to the ever-evolving market and customer needs. The company plans to leverage its optical technologies across various industries while working to create synergies with other sectors. This initiative represents a broader vision to cultivate new value through collaborations.
Future Directions
As Tamron continues to innovate, its focus remains on producing high-quality optical products that cater to diverse industries, including the development of lenses for digital cameras, surveillance, machine vision, and medical applications. The company is dedicated to sustainability and environmental preservation in all business activities.
