TOKYO, Mar 30 (Pulse News Wire) – Environmental Control Center CO.,LTD. (4657.T) announced today that it has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to support asbestos counting operations using phase contrast microscopy (PCM).
The system was jointly researched with the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) and JANUS Corporation. The development aims to address the increasing need for rapid and accurate asbestos detection due to ongoing construction demolition activities. Current methods rely heavily on skilled analysts, but there is a shortage of such experts and limitations on their daily analysis capacity.
The new AI system, named "MeCoras," uses machine learning models and image processing techniques to automate fiber detection and counting, achieving expert-level precision and efficiency. MeCoras complies with international standards set by organizations like ISO and ASTM International. Regarding the impact on performance, the company stated that while the immediate effect on its current earnings is minor, the technology could significantly enhance monitoring and analytical processes.
Any future developments affecting the company's performance will be promptly disclosed.
