[Part 2] <Full-scale operation started> Real-time analysis of the sea with AI, big data, and artificial satellites! Michibiki Oceanographic Buoy, a state-of-the-art ocean observation system born from over 45 years of research
Project overview
Our company is a venture company that develops a system for real-time ocean observation using automatic observation robots.
A large amount of research funds are spent on marine research every year, but the current situation is that the research results are not yet sufficient to match the costs.Therefore, our company's mission is to conduct ocean observations as efficiently as possible, consider concrete measures against climate change, and protect the richness of the sea and land.
For that reason, our company is currently focusing on information on sea conditions such as wave height, tide level, current, and water temperature. Knowing sea conditions in real time plays a very important role.

Conventional measurement methods are expensive due to the use of expensive large equipment and observation ships, and the number of observation points in the waters near Japan is limited.
Therefore, we have developed a low-cost, small-sized oceanographic observation robot "Michibiki Oceanographic Buoy" that can be installed at multiple locations.
"Michibiki Marine Buoy" can be significantly reduced in cost by replacing it with a small buoy equipped with a high-performance GPS (more precisely, GNSS "Global Navigation Satellite System") receiver, which will be described later. By increasing the number of observation points, we will be able to acquire oceanographic data over a wider range.
Last year, we successfully completed the trial introduction in Okinawa Prefecture, but the business was temporarily stagnant due to the corona disaster. During that time, further development was carried out, and the MICHIBIKI Marine Buoy II was completed, and has been in full-scale operation since September of this year.
In the future, we believe that this new model will be useful in various aspects such as fishing ground search, marine mineral exploration, marine sports, port management and disaster countermeasures.
Furthermore, it is expected to be used for real-time observation of not only the sea but also the water level of rivers and dams, and to predict floods and other water damage.
What we aim for is a safe and secure marine business and mitigation of damage caused by abnormal weather. In order to achieve this, we would like to continue working on many issues as a venture that provides systems that support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
