Regil Denki Hoan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Taizo Ozaki; hereinafter "Regil Denki Hoan"), a group company of Regil Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yasumi Tanji; hereinafter "the Company"), which upholds "Continuously challenging social issues as a point of convergence" as its purpose and is responsible for security and construction businesses, announces that it has been entrusted with the security management of electrical equipment at over 200 stores operated by Kirindo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director and President Executive Officer: Toyohiko Teranishi; hereinafter "Kirindo") in the Kansai region.

■Social Issues Surrounding the Security Industry and Facility Management Challenges for Multi-Store Businesses

In recent years, while the number of electrical facilities and their decentralization have progressed, the security industry faces challenges such as the aging of facility management personnel, including chief electrical engineers, and a future shortage of successors. Therefore, there is a growing need to establish a system for efficiently managing electrical equipment while ensuring its safety, and to digitalize and advance facility management.

Particularly for multi-store businesses such as drugstores and retailers, the burden of managing electrical equipment tends to increase with the growing number of stores. Since equipment configurations and installation conditions vary by store, grasping equipment information and managing inspection results can become complicated. If inspection reports are managed on paper, document storage also becomes necessary, leading to a considerable burden on management operations.

To address these challenges, Regil Denki Hoan provides the facility management platform "Hoan Portal." The Hoan Portal enables centralized management of inspection results, equipment information, and progress of noted issues for each store on the web, thereby achieving visualization of equipment status and rapid information sharing.

Furthermore, since Regil Denki Hoan also operates a construction business, it can provide proposals for equipment renovation based on inspection results and formulate long-term equipment update plans.

■Comment from Kirindo Co., Ltd., General Affairs Department Representative

Previously, with the expansion of our multi-store operations, we managed inspection reports and noted issues for electrical equipment at each store on paper. This required storing large volumes of documents in a dedicated archive for a certain period, which was a significant management burden. Moreover, because these were managed individually, it was difficult to comprehensively grasp the equipment status across all stores, leading to a heavy workload for facility management operations at the head office.

By entrusting security management to Regil Denki Hoan, we can now centrally manage inspection results and equipment information for each store with a single ID. We believe this will not only reduce the burden of document management but also enable more efficient visualization of equipment status and consideration of renovation plans.

We will continue to strengthen our facility management system to support safe and stable store operations.

■Future Outlook

For electrical equipment, in addition to ensuring safety through regular inspections, it is crucial to maintain an optimal state long-term by carrying out planned renovations and updates based on equipment aging and usage conditions. Based on this philosophy, Regil Denki Hoan is promoting the digitalization and management of the entire equipment lifecycle, including not only inspection and security management of electrical equipment but also equipment renovation and update plans.

Moving forward, we will continue to contribute to creating an environment where customers can use electricity safely and securely, and support the advancement and efficiency of electrical equipment management.
