Toshiba Corporation
To achieve carbon neutrality and realize safe security services, Toshiba launched an energy-saving demonstration and a security demonstration in the office area of our new R&D facility named Innovation Palette, which opened in January 2024. The energy-saving demonstration involves estimating the flow of people as well as controlling lighting and air conditioning to optimize energy use and ensure comfort, while the security demonstration involves linking video analysis AI, robots, and building equipment. In the energy-saving demonstration, we will use the operational digital twin*1 to simultaneously achieve comfort and reduce energy use by optimizing lighting and air conditioning. In addition to Toshiba Corporation’s own equipment, the demonstration can flexibly verify services using equipment from other companies. In addition, the security demonstration has achieved both security automation as well as safety and security by simultaneously monitoring a large number of video feeds using video analysis AI and patrolling a wide area by integrating security robots into building facilities. This new R&D facility will be used not only as a place for researchers to work but as a place for co-creation with customers and partners, thereby contributing to achieving carbon neutrality and addressing social issues.
- the operational digital twin
Technology that uses sensor technology and AI to reproduce real-world events virtually in real time and simulate the past, present, and future. The operational digital twin can reflect the results of simulations based on live data acquired from actual equipment on site in a timely manner for on-site operation and control.
