Towards a Day When Fluids Worldwide Have a "Voice": Fluid AI Agent "ABYSS" Aims for a Future of Zero Accidents, Zero Disasters
Itumo Inc. announced the development of "ABYSS," a fluid AI agent that aims to create a world where "fluids themselves communicate abnormalities." This initiative contributes to building a social infrastructure with zero accidents and zero disasters in areas like chemical plants and rivers.

Our company supports April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is the dream of Itumo Inc.
## Our Dream: Creating a World Where "Fluids Communicate Abnormalities Themselves"
The turbidity of wastewater constantly changing in the water treatment process of a chemical plant. The rising water level of a river threatening to overflow its banks. The subtle changes in effervescence of a liquid in a pharmaceutical line.
Currently, these are monitored relying on human eyes and experience. The intuition of "something is different" that veterans have cultivated through their five senses is invaluable knowledge that can only be gained by standing on-site day and night.
But we ask:
"What if the fluid itself had a 'voice' and could communicate abnormalities to people—"
The fluid AI agent "ABYSS," developed by Itumo Inc., was born to give shape to this dream.
## The World ABYSS Will Realize
ABYSS is a unique AI model that combines physical laws with actual fluid imagery. Targeting fluids such as water, oil, and chemical liquids, it analyzes existing camera footage for liquid level fluctuations, air bubbles, effervescence, scum, oil films, turbidity, leaks, and flow changes, enabling anomaly detection, prognostics, and condition monitoring.
Its greatest feature is the ability to utilize existing cameras as "fluid sensors." There's no need to install new sensors; cameras already on-site transform into advanced monitoring devices.
Rather than relying solely on statistical pattern matching, ABYSS models the physical behavior of fluids, allowing it to capture complex and subtle changes that occur on-site.
## Our Vision for 2030
Our dream is to realize a "zero-accident, zero-disaster social infrastructure" through ABYSS.
Specifically, we envision the following future:
- Chemical Plants: Immediately detect abnormal effervescence or scum to prevent major accidents.
- Oil & Energy Industry: AI continuously monitors for minute leaks from pipelines 24/7, preventing environmental pollution.
- Rivers & Disaster Prevention: Real-time understanding of water levels and flow changes to deliver flood warnings to residents.
- Pharmaceuticals & Bio: Continuous monitoring of changes in liquid conditions to ensure product quality stability and safety.
And someday, we hope to create a daily life where all fluids worldwide have a "voice," communicating abnormalities themselves, protecting society before humans even notice.
## Passing Down the "Eyes" of Experts to the Next Generation
Another dream for ABYSS is to connect the wisdom of the現場 (現場 means "site" or "field") to the future.
The "visual assessment of abnormalities" that veteran technicians have cultivated over many years of experience is now being lost due to severe labor shortages and generational change. ABYSS continuously captures these skilled eyes as video data and visualizes them in an easy-to-understand format, thus transferring this person-dependent know-how to the next generation through digital power.
Labor saving in visual inspections, quality stabilization, predictive maintenance, and unmanned support. From manufacturing to infrastructure and disaster prevention, the value ABYSS aims to deliver is encapsulated in one point: "a peaceful night's sleep for every site."
## Towards the Realization of the Dream
Itumo Inc. is steadily making this dream a reality by conducting demonstrations and dialogues in four fields: chemical plants, the oil industry, river disaster prevention, and pharmaceuticals/bio. We sincerely welcome collaboration with partner companies and local governments who resonate with our vision of a world where fluids have a "voice."
On April 1st, we declare this dream.
