- Entry details
Tenchijin was selected among 10 Japanese start-ups. We applied to the program with Tenchijin COMPASS software and the traction gained from two projects: water leakage risk mitigation and renewable energy power plants spots localization.
Water Pipe leakage risk management
The aging water pipelines and delayed maintenance lead to a sharp increase in large-scale water leakage accidents world-wide. It has become a social issue as it jeopardizes water supply for a growing population. We are working to develop a 100 meter spatial resolution leakage risk management operation system that combines Big Data. Our unique AI technology evaluates and visualizes the leakage risk in water pipes. This enables a 60% and 80% reduction in survey costs and time, respectively.
Optimal location for renewal energy plants
Firms are developing renewable energy to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change and supply energy to a growing population. However, the selection of optimal sites is time consuming as various data sets need to be used simultaneously. The current models are sometimes obsolete, biased, incomplete. Tenchijin COMPASS aggregates Big Data to pinpoint the most suitable area for a renewable energy plant. Thanks to remote sourcing, less onsite surveys are required, which helps developers improve operational efficiency. This reduces risks, generates accurate proposals and accelerates deployment.
Tenchijin COMPASS can be used for free by creating an account on the Tenchijin website.
