CARRO JAPAN Inc.
CARRO JAPAN Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Satoshi Asaeda; hereinafter referred to as "CARRO JAPAN"), a joint venture between SoftBank Corp. and Trusty Cars Pte. Ltd. (Carro), has begun a collaboration with ORBRO Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "ORBRO"), a South Korean company that provides high-precision real-time locating systems (RTLS) and digital twin technologies, to promote digital transformation (DX) in Japanese factories and logistics warehouses.
■ Background and Objectives
CARRO JAPAN provides advanced fleet management systems to improve the efficiency of outdoor mobility and logistics. However, challenges such as the transfer of skills from experienced workers due to labor shortages and the operational efficiency within factories and logistics warehouses have arisen. Traditional systems designed for outdoor mobility struggle to capture the minute movements of people, goods, and heavy machinery indoors, making it difficult to contribute to operational efficiency. To address this issue, CARRO JAPAN is collaborating with ORBRO, which excels in high-precision indoor location platforms utilizing UWB (Ultra-Wideband), Vision AI, and digital twin technologies. By combining CARRO JAPAN's expertise in managing the operation of vehicles and other assets with ORBRO's technology, they will offer a solution that seamlessly connects outdoor transportation with indoor operations in factories and warehouses, powerfully driving DX in industrial settings.
■ Main Collaboration Activities
1. Eliminating Waste (Improving Efficiency) within Factories and Logistics Warehouses
Utilizing ORBRO's RTLS, the movements of workers, forklifts, and materials indoors will be tracked in real-time and reproduced in a 3D digital twin space. Furthermore, by combining this with CARRO JAPAN's insights into fleet management, issues in the entire workflow, from vehicle docking to loading/unloading, storage, and picking within the warehouse, can be identified. This will enable data-driven optimization of layouts and personnel allocation.
2. Supporting Skill Transfer by Visualizing Expert Operations
Expert workers' tasks and time spent will be digitized and compared/analyzed with those of new employees. This will standardize the tacit knowledge of skilled workers, enabling smooth skill transfer.
3. Joint Development of Next-Generation Smart Factories in Collaboration with Safety Management Systems
Solutions that dramatically improve on-site safety, such as intrusion detection in hazardous areas and proximity alerts between heavy machinery/forklifts and workers, will be jointly proposed to domestic customers, with implementation support provided.
■ Comment from Satoshi Asaeda, President and CEO of CARRO JAPAN Inc.
"While we have supported our customers' mobility and transportation through high-precision fleet management, a breakthrough was needed to improve efficiency in the 'on-site operations' within factories and warehouses. ORBRO's advanced positioning and digital twin technology perfectly complements our solutions and is a crucial piece in visualizing the 'tacit knowledge' of the workplace. Through our collaboration with ORBRO, we will strongly support the DX of Japan's manufacturing and logistics, from outdoor to indoor environments."
■ Comment from HAKKYUNG LEE, CEO of ORBRO
"Japan's manufacturing and logistics industries possess world-class advanced industrial infrastructure, and we are deeply honored to work with CARRO JAPAN on their transformation. Our RTLS and digital twin platform, utilizing UWB and Vision AI, visualizes indoor environments in real-time, which have been difficult to visualize in industrial settings until now. By combining CARRO JAPAN's expertise in outdoor fleet management with ORBRO's indoor positioning technology, we can provide DX solutions to Japanese industrial sites that visualize the entire process from receiving areas to factory and warehouse work sites. We look forward to contributing to the operational efficiency and productivity improvement of our Japanese customers through our collaboration with CARRO JAPAN."
