Seminar Overview: Smart Waterworks through Digital Twins

On December 9, JPI (Japan Planning Institute) will host a seminar featuring Yasuyuki Tago, the Director of the DX Promotion Office at MetaWater Co., Ltd. The focus will be on the company's initiatives in introducing Digital Twin technology as part of their efforts to modernize and enhance the efficiency of waterworks.

As fiscal challenges accelerate for national and local governments, the aging infrastructure in water services and the shortage of skilled workers are pressing issues. In response, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is promoting the public-private partnership (PPP) model for water services, planning to issue 225 projects by 2031.

At MetaWater, the company is dedicated to digitizing long-term operational data, including blueprints and inspection records for water facilities. By integrating physical assets with data, they aim to streamline operations and reduce labor.
