AI (artificial intelligence) related work
Operation failure data AI analysis
The characteristics of individual differences due to differences in the operation of product inspectors, etc. are extracted, the causes leading to defects are analyzed by AI, and the inspection results are evaluated. Based on this, sensor specifications, control specifications, component specifications, etc. will be changed (determined) to realize the development of safer products that do not cause problems.


Software development support for onboard monitoring systems
Ohtsu Maritime Research Institute Co., Ltd. Representative Director Tohru Itoh is developing software for a new navigation / engine hybrid monitoring system using statistical models researched and developed by the late Kohei Ohtsu (Professor Emeritus, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology). Technical assistance was provided as a technical advisor to the Ohtsu Maritime Research Institute.
