Fukushima Galilei Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Go Fukushima) is pleased to announce the launch of "EXAROUND," an IT platform that innovates equipment management across diverse industries such as retail, food service, manufacturing, and medical chemistry.
Since the launch of our "Fukushima S-Net 24" service in 2001, we have continuously provided various systems, including remote maintenance and temperature management, for over 25 years. "EXAROUND" integrates these systems into a single platform. It not only centralizes equipment-related information, such as operational status and repair requests, but also offers plans that address various challenges, including improving operational efficiency and reducing management costs through AI and IoT technologies. Customers can select the necessary functions according to their specific challenges, thereby achieving optimal DX in equipment management for their own companies.
【Background of Development】
In many industries, the worsening labor shortage has created challenges such as equipment management becoming dependent on specific individuals and increased burden on personnel. Furthermore, soaring energy prices are squeezing business costs, and responding to stricter hygiene management standards, typified by the HACCP system, has become an urgent issue for all businesses.
To address these increasingly complex challenges, as a company supporting food infrastructure, we developed "EXAROUND" to alleviate the burden on the field through the power of technology and contribute to safer and more efficient business operations.
【Main Features】
〇 Diverse Plans that Allow You to "Select" Only Necessary Functions
Customers can flexibly combine optimal plans from seven options, including temperature management, energy saving, and hygiene management, according to their industry and challenges.
《Contract Example 1: In the case of a restaurant》
Challenge: The burden of recording and managing hygiene in accordance with HACCP. Equipment malfunctions are often delayed when managers are absent.
Recommended Plans: "Hygiene Management Plan" + "Kitchen Whole Plan"
Benefits: Centralizes paperless hygiene and temperature records required by HACCP, streamlining management operations. Also, in the event of equipment malfunction, staff can request repairs from the management screen, enabling prompt response even when the person in charge is absent.
《Contract Example 2: In the case of a supermarket》
Challenge: Managing the temperature of numerous showcases requires significant human resources and time. Preventing product disposal and lost sales opportunities due to cooling failures.
Recommended Plans: "Temperature Management Plan" + "Smart Diagnosis Plan"
Benefits: Automates daily temperature management, while AI detects signs of failure to prevent major problems. Furthermore, by combining it with our "Refrigerant Gas Leak 10-Year Warranty Maintenance Contract," it covers labor shortages, prevents product disposal losses and lost sales opportunities for stores, and enables planned cost management.
〇 "Predictive Management" and "Automation" with AI and IoT
AI analyzes daily operational data to detect equipment abnormalities early through "Smart Diagnosis," and "Optimal Air Conditioning Control" achieves over 20% energy savings compared to conventional methods and a comfortable space through AI control, promoting proactive fault prevention and operational automation with advanced technology.
〇 Open Platform Regardless of Manufacturer
Not only our products but also existing equipment and kitchen appliances from other manufacturers can be included in the management scope, centralizing equipment information for the entire facility. This achieves DX in management systems while utilizing existing assets.
【Overview of Provided Plans】
In addition to the basic service, customers can combine and contract necessary plans according to their specific challenges.
It improves operational efficiency, reduces management costs, and achieves advanced hygiene management compliant with HACCP.
◇ Basic Service: Equipment and Repair Management
Centralizes information on all facilities' equipment on PCs and smartphones. Repair requests and status checks can be made 24 hours a day from the management screen.
◇ Contract Plans
Temperature Management Plan
Automatically monitors and records equipment temperatures, alerts in case of abnormalities, and protects food safety. It widely supports our and other companies' products, including showcases, freezers, refrigerators, and prefabricated cold rooms in stores. It also automates the creation of management ledgers such as HACCP.
Energy Monitoring Plan
Visualizes electricity, gas, and water consumption per facility. Supports energy reduction and management operations without strain through automatic control and demand control.
Optimal Air Conditioning Control Plan
AI optimally controls air conditioning while maintaining comfort in stores such as supermarkets, achieving over 20% energy savings compared to conventional methods. Desiccant air conditioning creates a comfortable in-store environment, improving customer experience. It also contributes to preventing condensation and mold.
Smart Diagnosis Plan
AI technology checks daily operating conditions and detects equipment abnormalities early. By visiting stores for maintenance before failures occur, it leads to stable operation of store equipment.
