“Committed to People, Committed to the Future” has been Toshiba Group’s Basic Commitment for generations. Anchored by this mission, Toshiba leverages technology and innovation to deliver lasting value to society. Our digital transformation (DX) efforts are central to advancing solutions for sustainability, social stability, and resource efficiency in today’s digital era. Toshiba’s unique strength comes from merging over 150 years of hardware experience with more than five decades of software and AI development. Our DX strategy integrates sensing technologies and advanced analytics to connect the physical and digital worlds. By collecting, analyzing, and visualizing real-world data in cyberspace, then applying AI-driven insights, Toshiba helps optimize and future-proof critical infrastructure, from energy grids to industrial assets, enhancing efficiency, resiliency, and supporting environmental sustainability. Some application examples include:

Collaborative Ecosystems Enabled by ifLink

Toshiba ifLink is an open IoT platform service that simplifies the integration of various IoT devices and web services into modular components. It connects seamlessly to a cloud-based application platform, enabling users to define device operations using if-then (condition-action) rules. By lowering technical barriers and reducing initial costs, ifLink makes IoT implementation more accessible, even for users with limited IoT expertise.

Accelerate digitization – Meter Reading Assistance Service

This software enables users to capture photos of various meters, such as those for factory equipment, electricity, water, ammeters, and pressure gauges, by using an iPhone or iPad, and automatically record the readings on i-Reporter electronic forms. By simply taking a photo, the meter values are recognized and entered onto the forms instantly.

The meter reading process can become quick and efficient, allowing results to be reviewed and abnormal values identified on site, significantly reducing workload.
