Smart Building Integrator
We will introduce the journey of the company, which was founded in 2013 with disaster prevention and tourism apps for local governments, and has since transitioned to indoor positioning in places like underground malls where GPS cannot reach, and then to networked devices that link beacons together. Currently, the company is promoting itself as a "smart building integrator," using location information as one piece of sensing information rather than the main focus. As a "hub" that aggregates a variety of equipment data such as air conditioning, lighting, and authentication, and delivers it to those who need it via API, we will discuss the "Multi-Building Connect" concept, which contributes to decarbonization, comfort, and improved owner profits, and our outlook for 2030.

Location Weekly Japan is a podcast run by LBMA Japan (Location Business & Marketing Japan), a general incorporated association that promotes business marketing services using location data. Every week, we interview management and business personnel from member companies, introduce the latest examples of location data usage, and share notable events around the world, as well as behind-the-scenes stories that can only be heard here.
As we are an organization with many IT-related members, you will hear a lot of foreign words, but in this podcast we will introduce examples of how location data is being used in a way that is as easy to understand as possible, so please feel free to listen.
