Strengthening Solution Business Centered on the Spatial iPaaS "LAPIS"

Liberaware (Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director: Hong-Kyu Min) announces the evolution of its proprietary image analysis tool "LAPIS" into a Spatial iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) to support field digital transformation (DX) and create/deploy diverse solution businesses.

By leveraging the company's proprietary drone, AI, and image analysis technologies, alongside the construction of the "LAPIS Ecosystem" with a wide range of partner companies, Liberaware will optimize the process from data acquisition to utilization, fundamentally transforming infrastructure and plant maintenance.

*1: A value-creation mechanism based on the Spatial iPaaS "LAPIS," which co-creates and deploys industry-specific solutions by combining partner devices, AI, software, operational systems, and field expertise.

Background
Conventional inspection and survey operations rely heavily on human experience and visual assessment. This has resulted in fragmented data across business operations, serving as a major obstacle to DX promotion. While Liberaware has previously achieved efficiency at the site level through its indoor inspection drone "IBIS," its utilization was often confined to specific tools, sometimes leading to challenges in data silos and integration with enterprise core systems or other business applications.

To resolve these issues, "LAPIS" is evolving beyond mere image analysis software into a "Spatial iPaaS" that connects all spatial data with operational systems. By elevating field data into valuable insights and building an environment that allows efficient equipment management and cross-organizational information sharing, it will improve the accuracy of long-term maintenance planning.

What is the Spatial iPaaS "LAPIS"?
"LAPIS" is a Spatial iPaaS that seamlessly connects the acquisition, visualization, analysis, and display of data in equipment maintenance. Its greatest feature is the ability to construct an ecosystem (LAPIS Ecosystem) by connecting the company's proprietary technical foundation (LAPIS Core series) with diverse third-party devices and software.

What is the LAPIS Core Series?
The LAPIS Core series consists of proprietary product lines specialized in each phase of "acquisition, visualization, analysis, and utilization." Each product provides high expertise to solve specific on-site challenges. By integrating these products onto the "LAPIS" Spatial iPaaS, formerly fragmented processes are connected, evolving into a powerful data-circulating ecosystem.

(1) LAPIS Capture Core (Acquisition): A diverse group of devices reaching all types of sites.
A collection of data acquisition devices, including proprietary products like "IBIS" and "Torinos," enabling the selection of optimal devices based on site conditions and usage.

(2) LAPIS 3D Core (Visualization): Generating advanced digital twin data.
A group of highly accurate spatial analysis software that forms the core of digital twin construction. It uses cutting-edge techniques such as point cloud generation, photogrammetry, and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to provide highly accurate spatial data that faithfully reproduces physical space.

(3) LAPIS AI Core (Analysis): Algorithmizing expert knowledge.
A group of advanced analysis algorithms specialized for automated diagnostics required in infrastructure inspections. It powerfully supports human judgment by executing high-precision automated detection of cracks, corrosion, etc., serving as the "intelligence" of analysis.

(4) LAPIS Manage Core (Utilization): Seamless integration with existing workflows.
A group of integrated management products that visualize field information as valuable insights. It serves as the exit point for sharing and utilizing analyzed data in a format easy for anyone to understand.

External Integration of the Spatial iPaaS "LAPIS"
"LAPIS" pursues an "open ecosystem" that is not restricted to the company's own product framework.
Input: Enables data collection regardless of devices, including third-party drones and robots.
Process: Connects with LAPIS using third-party engines for advanced analysis algorithms, visualization techniques, and numerical simulation functions.
Output: Enables the display and operation of analyzed data and insights within customers' existing management systems, viewers, and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.
