FYC's New Initiative: Facial Recognition with FreeiD
In a groundbreaking move to modernize living spaces, FYC, based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced the implementation of DXYZ's 'FreeiD' facial recognition ID platform in their newly constructed rental apartments. These properties, including 'FRC Umeyashiki' and 'CITY WALK Magome', mark FYC's first foray into facial recognition technology, aiming to offer enhanced convenience and security for residents.
Project Overview: FRC Umeyashiki and CITY WALK Magome
FRC Umeyashiki
Located in Ota City, Omiya Nishimachi, 'FRC Umeyashiki' is a new five-story rental apartment expected to be completed by March 2025. The surrounding Umeyashiki area is celebrated for its vibrant shopping streets and traditional town atmosphere, making it a popular choice for those seeking both convenience and a welcoming living environment.
CITY WALK Magome
Similarly, 'CITY WALK Magome', set to be ready by October 2025, sits in a tranquil part of Ota City, providing an appealing contrast of urban accessibility and peaceful residential life. With easy access to the city and a calm atmosphere, it has garnered interest as an ideal place to live.
DXYZ has successfully integrated the FreeiD platform at the entrances of both buildings, with additional installations at other FYC-managed properties, including 'MAXIV CITY Nishi-Egota', 'CITY WALK Oji', and 'CITY WALK Shimo-Itabashi'. This integration allows residents to enter and exit with ease, even when their hands are full, while ensuring high security through state-of-the-art facial recognition technology.
The FreeiD Facial Recognition Platform
FreeiD is a pioneering facial recognition platform designed to unite daily activities such as living, working, and leisure with the power of one's face. By consolidating all forms of identification — from bank cards to ID cards — into a single facial recognition profile, FreeiD allows individuals to move through entrances, make payments, and verify their identities without the need for keys or wallets. The motto, 'Connect to the world with just your face', encapsulates the user-friendly nature of this technology.
One of the standout features of FreeiD is its compatibility with various facial recognition AI systems, allowing it to adapt seamlessly to different use cases. The 'FreeiD Mansion' solution for apartment buildings promises a keyless living experience from entrance gates to personal living spaces, establishing the first 'All-Facial Recognition Apartments®' in Japan. As of late October 2025, FreeiD will have officially launched in 271 completed buildings.
Beyond residential applications, DXYZ is also extending its facial recognition services to offices, daycare centers, golf courses, and theme parks. The company is exploring facial recognition payment solutions, notably 'FreeiD Pay', and is currently engaged in demonstrational projects that link identity verification with My Number Cards.
