■What is hakaru.ai?

A variety of meter inspections are carried out daily at many manufacturing sites and building management sites. We use the camera function of a smartphone to streamline a series of tasks such as visually checking each meter one by one, writing the numbers by hand on a ledger, and inputting those numbers into a computer. "hakaru.ai by GMO" is a service that uses AI (artificial intelligence) to streamline on-site inspection operations.


■What you can do with hakaru.ai
・Simply take a picture of the meter with your smartphone. AI reads numerical values ​​from images and completes data entry automatically. - Compatible meters are analog (needle) meters, analog panel meters (β compatible), digital meters, rotary meters, water meters, and horizontal scale manometers (β compatible). Even old meters can be read.
・When using the service, simply create a QR code that recognizes each meter, print it, and paste it. It can be installed without stopping on-site operations.
・If an abnormal value is detected, an alert is sent to the administrator or person in charge. It also has a function to take notes of what you feel on site during inspection work.
- Efficiency can be achieved without making large-scale capital investments such as purchasing or replacing smart meters that can automate meter reading operations.
