Towards the Day When Fluids Worldwide Have a 'Voice'. The Future Aimed for by Fluid AI Agent 'ABYSS': Zero Accidents, Zero Disasters.

We endorse April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for companies to share their dreams. This press release is the dream of 'Itumo Inc.'

Our Dream: Creating a World Where Fluids Themselves Communicate Abnormalities

The constantly changing turbidity of wastewater in the water treatment process of chemical plants. Rising river water levels threatening to overflow levees. The gently changing foaming of medicinal liquids on pharmaceutical lines.

These are currently monitored relying on human eyes and experience. The realization of 'something is different than usual,' perceived by veterans through their five senses, is invaluable wisdom that can only be gained by continuously being present at the site, day and night.

However, we ask:

'What if fluids themselves 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. It analyzes liquid level fluctuations, bubbles, foaming, scum, oil films, turbidity, leaks, flow changes, and more from existing camera footage for fluids such as water, oil, and medicinal liquids, enabling abnormality detection, premonition detection, and condition monitoring.

Its greatest feature is that existing cameras can be utilized as 'fluid sensors.' There is no need to install new sensors; the cameras already on-site transform into advanced monitoring devices.

Instead of relying solely on statistical pattern matching, it is modeled with an understanding of the physical behavior of fluids, allowing it to capture complex and subtle changes occurring at the site.

The Scene We Envision for 2030

Our dream is to realize a 'social infrastructure of zero accidents and zero disasters' through ABYSS.

Specifically, we envision the following future:

- Chemical Plants: Instantly detect abnormalities in foaming and scum, preventing major accidents. - Oil & Energy Industry: AI continuously monitors for subtle leaks from pipes 24/7/365, preventing environmental pollution. - Rivers & Disaster Prevention: Grasp changes in water levels and flow in real-time, delivering early warnings of water-related disasters to residents. - Pharmaceuticals & Bio: Continuously monitor changes in the state of medicinal liquids, ensuring product quality stability and safety.

And one day, we want to create a daily reality where all fluids worldwide have a 'voice,' communicate abnormalities on their own, and protect society before humans even notice.

Passing Down the 'Eyes' of Skilled Workers to the Next Generation

Connecting on-site wisdom to the future.

The 'ability to discern abnormalities through visual inspection,' cultivated by veteran technicians over many years of experience, is currently being lost amidst a severe shortage of personnel and generational change. ABYSS continuously captures these skilled 'eyes' as video data, visualizes them in an easy-to-judge format, and transfers this personalized know-how to the next generation through the power of digital technology.

Labor saving for visual inspections, quality stabilization, predictive maintenance, and unmanned support. From manufacturing to infrastructure and disaster prevention fields, the value that ABYSS aims to deliver is condensed into a single point: 'Peaceful nights to all sites.'

Towards Realizing the Dream

Itumo Inc. is accumulating demonstrations and dialogues in four fields—chemical plants, the oil industry, river disaster prevention, and pharmaceutical/bio—to gradually turn this dream into reality. We sincerely welcome co-creation with partner companies and local governments who resonate with us towards realizing a world where fluids have a 'voice.'

On April 1st, we declare this dream.
