[New Feature Added!] No More Manual Counting? Case Study of Katsushika Municipal Higashikanamachi Junior High School Adopting the DX Graduation Album 'Webum System' [Katsushika-ku, Tokyo - Hinode Co., Ltd.]

Hinode Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Katsushika-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hiroki Asanuma; hereinafter 'Hinode') has added a new AI facial recognition search feature to its DX graduation album 'Webum System' for schools. Its adoption at Katsushika Municipal Higashikanamachi Junior High School has streamlined the photo selection process and reduced the administrative burden on faculty and staff.

■ Current Status and Challenges in Graduation Album Production

Graduation album production involves numerous verification tasks between schools and album producers, including photo selection, replacements, content confirmation, and managing the number of times each student appears.

Traditionally, this relied on paper drafts, requiring staff to meet in person during their limited free time. This created challenges, as tasks were often dependent on specific individuals and placed a significant time burden on staff.

■ Workload Burden Due to Seasonal Factors

The creation and verification of graduation albums often coincide with periods when career guidance and end-of-year administrative tasks are at their peak.

Managing detailed album verification tasks during this critical time, when faculty should be focusing on the future of each student, places a heavy burden on school staff.

■ Improving Efficiency with the DX Graduation Album 'Webum System'

The Webum system is a graduation album production service that allows for web-based photo selection for snapshot pages while maintaining the traditional high-quality bound album format.

Furthermore, by utilizing the AI facial recognition feature, users can register a face photo, allowing the AI to automatically detect and display all photos containing that individual from the database.

Previously, students and parents had to manually search through countless photos to find themselves. This feature significantly reduces that effort, enabling a smoother selection process for students and parents alike.

These features not only reduce the verification workload for staff but also improve satisfaction for students and parents.
