Fujitsu commences sales of IoT service platform ‘SMAVIA’

ntttttttttttt

Fujitsu has announced the Japan launch of Fujitsu IoT Solution SMAVIA, an IoT utilization service platform upon which data can be put to new uses. It does this by linking data stored in various systems throughout a supply chain, such as data stored in sales and inventory management, transportation and delivery, and sensor data, such as employee location information and vital signs.

Fujitsu said it plans to roll out the IoT service platform globally in the future.

SMAVIA aggregates and integrates in the cloud data stored in various operations systems, combining it with sensor data from people, things, and the environment at on-site locations, such as distribution warehouses. By analyzing such data as the status of sales and inventory, logistics costs, and the work efficiency of employees, this service platform enables users to address labor shortages, an issue in retail and distribution, and to implement optimal improvement measures to maximize sales. This further enhances the competitive strength of customers.

SMAVIA consists of two components. The first is Fujitsu IoT Solution SMAVIA Platform, which aggregates data from operational systems and from IoT devices such as sensors, and provides Fujitsu’s proprietary algorithms via APIs for such functions as optimizing distribution inventory and visualizing the efficiency of employees. The second are data utilization services that analyze, visualize, and support improvements in customer processes based on that data.

Fujitsu is now launching in Japan both the SMAVIA Platform and three different data utilization services, with plans for a future global roll-out.
