LiveOn Wearable Case Study: Iga City, Mie Prefecture

Background of Remote Operation Support System Introduction

The Iga City Water and Sewerage Department wants to improve operational efficiency by responding more smoothly when water and sewerage problems occur.

Iga City's Water and Sewerage Department is responsible for the consolidation and maintenance of sewerage facilities, repair of leaking pipes, and maintenance and management of water supply facilities. The challenge was how to efficiently respond to problems with a small number of people in the city's 32 treatment districts. The amount of information exchanged between the office and the field via phone calls and chat rooms was not enough, so the company began to consider the use of a field work support tool.

Impressions after the introduction of the remote work support system

Smart glasses enable us to share images of the on-site situation and make quicker decisions.

The use of smart glasses and smartphones to report, including real-time video, has enabled us to make quicker decisions. This has helped to ensure a safe and secure lifeline. In addition, the number of people visiting the site has been minimized, leading to a reduction in travel and working hours. It has also helped to pass on skills to other staff members.

In this interview, we ask the person in charge about the challenges he faced before the introduction of the system, episodes from the selection of the product to the start of operation, his impressions after the introduction, and future developments.
