In an effort to combat the rising temperatures and the increasing risks of heat-related illnesses, DUMSCO has officially announced that its heat management service, GoANZEN, will participate in Isesaki City’s pioneering initiative, the "Cool down いせさき" project. This project brings public and private sectors together to address the pressing issues of extreme heat, particularly in areas experiencing outdoor and on-site work.
As a backdrop to this collaboration, it is significant to note that Isesaki City recorded a staggering 41.8°C on August 5, which marks the highest temperature ever observed in Japan. The ``Cool down いせさき`` project is a progressive endeavor aimed at enhancing local heat countermeasures and safeguarding the well-being of residents through innovative technology.
DUMSCO has a history of collaboratively developing AI cameras for heat management and seeks to alleviate the critically important social challenge of heat-related risks through technological solutions. The launch of the GoANZEN service embodies this commitment, presenting a specialized system that includes the GoANZEN Sensor WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) and a cloud-based management platform to monitor and visualize data.
Features of GoANZEN
With the GoANZEN service, the Sensor WBGT measures temperature, humidity, and radiant heat at respective locations, efficiently managing data in the cloud. The system's automatic alert feature enables early warnings on-site, facilitating proactive heat management. Here are some of the standout features of GoANZEN:
1. Easy Installation and Flexible Locations
The WBGT sensors can be installed with ease at various sites, allowing for real-time monitoring of the heat index (WBGT) without significant setup time. This ensures that the service can start functioning almost immediately after installation.
2. Automatic Alerts for Effective Safety Management
When conditions pose a risk, the cloud system can automatically notify on-site personnel, prompting actions such as hydration reminders or the cessation of work to prevent heatstroke or related incidents. This timely intervention is crucial in avoiding potentially dangerous situations.
3. Reducing the Managerial Burden
The automation of temperature monitoring and alerts reduces the physical monitoring work and manual data collection previously required of managers. This results in significant efficiency improvements and ensures that safety management is executed reliably.
Key Initiatives
Using GoANZEN, multiple WBGT monitoring stations will be established across Isesaki City, allowing real-time checking from a remote location. Furthermore, this data will be shared publicly, with updates disseminated through the city's website and social media platforms, ensuring community members are alerted promptly.
