Agriculture
Climate change significantly impacts crop production and requires a data-driven approach for optimal decision-making. In the "CropScope" farming support service NEC is developing jointly with Kagome, AI analyzes data from ground-based moisture sensors and satellites to suggest the optimal amount and timing of water and fertilizer. As a result, one farmer achieved a higher yield (+20%) with less water (-15%) and used less fertilizer (-20%) compared to the conventional method.

Disaster Prevention
Climate change has been known to impact the occurrence of many natural disasters around the world. This not only severely impacts a city's infrastructure and human lives, but also hinders a country's economic growth and contributes to the increased CO2 emissions associated with rebuilding collapsed infrastructure. NEC has launched a service that uses satellite SAR imagery and AI to visualize the deterioration and displacement of infrastructure and uses the information obtained to help minimize these damages through prevention and maintenance, thereby helping to mitigate these damages.

Recycling
Resources are limited, and it is important to recycle them efficiently. To this end, NEC is working with a Japanese company to achieve an industry-leading 98% weight reduction/recycling rate, utilizing local 5G, AI, and cameras to improve efficiency through remote operation of heavy machinery and to realize a safe and secure working environment. We are working to realize a safe and secure work environment and improve efficiency through the remote operation of heavy machinery.
