LiLz Inc. Enters into a Capital and Business Alliance with 114 Co-Creation Investment Co., Ltd.

LiLz Inc. (Headquarters: Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture; President: Keigo Onishi; hereinafter "LiLz") announces that it has concluded a capital and business alliance agreement with 114 Co-Creation Investment Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Takamatsu City; President: Tomohiko Tada; hereinafter "114 Co-Creation Investment"). Through this partnership, LiLz will deploy its fully wireless IoT camera and AI-based remote inspection solution in the Setouchi region, contributing to the advancement of regional industries, including manufacturing, and the resolution of social issues.

■ Background and Objectives

In many industrial sites such as plants and factories, aging facilities and labor shortages are progressing simultaneously, increasing the burden on field workers year by year. In addition, addressing carbon neutrality has recently become an increasingly important management priority. Beyond labor-saving and manpower reduction in inspection tasks, stronger efforts toward energy conservation are required. Particularly in the Setouchi region, which concentrates heavy industries such as steel, petrochemicals, chemicals, and shipbuilding, the advancement of daily inspection tasks and the optimization of facility operation through data utilization are urgent needs due to the vast site areas and complex machinery.

LiLz, under the slogan "Let the extra margin change the field," provides a remote inspection solution combining completely wireless IoT cameras that require no power or network installation with cloud AI analysis. Its power-saving IoT cameras enable long-term remote monitoring even in environments with restricted power or communication, supporting the advancement of facility management in plants, factories, and infrastructure.

114 Co-Creation Investment is an investment subsidiary of 114 Bank, which broadly supports the regional economy based in Kagawa Prefecture. Through this alliance, LiLz will accelerate the provision of IoT and AI solutions and leverage the regional network and industrial insights of 114 Bank and 114 Co-Creation Investment to contribute to the advancement and energy efficiency of facility inspections in the Setouchi region, as well as the revitalization of the regional economy.
