Back-end Engineer (drone operation application)

【 About the company 】

▼About the Company
Established in 2016, the company develops small drones specialized in the indoor inspection field and provides inspection solutions. In the field of indoor industrial drones, which are considered more difficult to implement in terms of space and communication than outdoor drones, the company is growing rapidly by leveraging its advanced technological capabilities and providing integrated solutions that include the analysis of captured images.

1. Small drone designed and developed in-house
There are many narrow, dark, and dirty places where it is difficult for ordinary industrial drones to even enter to inspect infrastructure and other facilities. For several years, the company has specialized in research and development of small drones that can be used in such environments.

While weight and size are restricted to achieve miniaturization, the company develops not only the frame, but also the battery, propeller, motor, camera, and flight controller, which is the brain of the aircraft, in-house, so that it can flexibly respond to the challenges of each company.

Based on the philosophy of contributing to improved productivity and safety in the industrial world, the company verifies each technology and structure in detail, aiming to manufacture products that can withstand industrial applications.

2. Domestically manufactured drones
The company's drones are domestically produced drones manufactured in Japan. Currently, Chinese-made drones are far ahead in the drone market, both in terms of technology and production volume, and the company is committed to domestically produced drones in order to raise Japan's technological capabilities.

In September 2020, the government announced its intention to promote the use of drones with high security performance and the use of drones by companies with well-developed security systems, and similar moves are being seen in some private companies. The demand for domestic drone manufacturers is expected to further increase in the future, and the Company is already being evaluated and used by a major manufacturing company that is promoting the use of domestic manufacturers.

3. Providing consistent services that do not end with inspection but extend to video analysis and editing
The company also focuses on technologies for editing drone-captured images into 3D, point clouds, and panoramic (ortho) images, as well as technologies that utilize artificial intelligence (AI,) and its strength is its ability to provide solutions that combine the hardware technology of drone aircraft with the software technology of image analysis and editing.

In the future, the company is also looking to develop services that promote the centralized management of digital data collected by drones to support DX in the manufacturing industry.
