Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Keiichi Yoshii, hereafter referred to as "Daiwa House Industry") and Hitachi Transport System, Ltd. (Representative Executive Officer/President and Chief Operating Officer: Hiroaki Takagi, hereafter referred to as "Hitachi Transport System"), and YRP Ubiquitous Networking Laboratory (Director: Ken Sakamura, Dean of Faculty of Information Networking for Innovation and Design (INIAD), Toyo University) will hold Daiwa House Industry Open Data Challenge for Smart Logistics (hereafter referred to as the "Contest"), a logistics open data contest from December 9, 2022.
In this contest, actual logistics system data obtained from “SSCV-Safety,” Hitachi Transport System's safety operation driving management solution, will be made available as open data, and contestants will compete on how to use the data effectively. Proposals for new services and applications that use AI and other digital technologies are sought from the general public, both in Japan and abroad.
Daiwa House Group has held contests that use actual data from actual logistics facilities three times since 2014, and this is the fourth contest. The logistics industry is facing challenges such as labor shortages and long working hours, and there are also concerns about new challenges associated with the so called 2024 problem, which limits maximum working hours. Through this contest, we hope to realize the "smart and safe logistics" that Daiwa House Industry and Hitachi Transport System are aiming for, with the help of digital technology and the wisdom of developers.
