Intelligent Information Technologies
Meidensha is developing intelligent information technology as a way to apply AI (artificial intelligence) to our business areas. AI creates new value by learning from various observations made about equipment, serving as a substitute for human workers. This page presents AI technology created to address the issue of dwindling populations, drive robot control technology providing accurate vehicle road test simulations, and image recognition-based monitoring technology for rail line equipment.

Diagnostic systems for rail line equipment (image-based diagnostic systems)
Catenary Eye (camera image-based analysis system)
- Measures contact wire height, deviation, wear, hard spots and contact force
- Detects rail line equipment problems
Elevator rope testers (image-based diagnostic systems)
Use image-based analysis technology to inspect elevator rope condition
Apply rolling stock line equipment diagnostic system technology
- Enable measurement during high-speed elevator travel
- Measure parameters such as narrowing and deformation over entire rope length in a single operation
Driving robot
Simulated vehicle road performance testing
Deep reinforcement learning
<Inputs>Engine speeds, speed commands, other
<Outputs>Estimated accelerator and brake operation levels
Highly accurate vehicle performance assessment testing (for driving modes)
3D spatial recognition system
3D-SLAM automated outdoor plant-to-plant transport system
Automated assistance for water treatment system operation
AI-based operation assistance
- Uses machine learning to automate the control of operation amounts for sewage treatment tanks
- Helps the next generation of master technicians acquire skills
