■ Background of introducing 'FreeiD' to the large-scale rental residence 'Grand’X Ozu Kumamoto'
'Grand’X Ozu Kumamoto' is a project name expressing the role and possibilities as a complex hub where people, goods, culture, and information intersect at this planned site, which has good access from Aso Kumamoto Airport. Ozu Town, where this project is located, is an intersection and node connecting these four areas: Kumamoto metropolitan area (culture), Aso (nature), Aso Kumamoto Airport (transportation), and Semicon Techno Park (industry). The name implies a desire to create a place for people to interact and engage in activities, from which various connections and values will be born.
This property is a large-scale development project with a total floor area of approximately 45,000 m2, a 14-story reinforced concrete structure, and a total of 619 planned residences. The exclusive areas range from 1K, 1LDK, 2LDK to 3LDK, providing floor plans that cater to a wide range of family structures, from singles to families. In addition to planning shared facilities such as exclusive lounges, a gym, and a large public bath for residents to accommodate various lifestyles, diverse services based on the themes of resident safety, security, and convenience are planned to be introduced.
This time, Migalo Group's DXYZ is introducing the facial recognition ID platform 'FreeiD' not only to common areas such as the entrance, lounge, gym, and large public bath of this property but also to the entrances of some housing units. With state-of-the-art facial recognition technology, spoofing and other fraudulent acts are prevented, providing residents with a high level of safety and peace of mind.
In addition, the facility reservation service 'FreeiD Reserve'*1 will also be introduced. Residents can easily make reservations from their smartphones and simply hold up their faces on the day of use for smooth entry, providing a more intuitive and stress-free facility usage experience. By promoting smooth sharing among residents and maximizing the value of shared spaces, it supports a rich community life.
Along with providing the convenience of going in and out even when both hands are full, we will meet the diversifying needs of customers by combining high security with cutting-edge facial recognition technology.
Taking this introduction as an opportunity, Sankei Building and Migalo Group's DXYZ will continue to jointly promote initiatives for smart city promotion utilizing FreeiD. In addition to existing properties planned for introduction, we plan to continuously deploy urban development aimed at improving convenience and creating value for the entire area.
