iiTEC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture; CEO: Takaki Furusawa; hereinafter 'iiTEC'), a provider of AI and security solutions, has made its Japanese debut of the latest demonstration of the 'Bear Damage Route Identification System 'Kuma Radar'', which integrates 360-degree panoramic cameras with proprietary edge AI, at the 'SECURITY SHOW OSAKA 2026' and 'Kansai Broadcasting Equipment Exhibition' held in July 2026.
Footage of the exhibition was widely broadcast on TV Osaka's official news channels, including YouTube, receiving strong interest and significant response from local governments and disaster prevention and security personnel. The company is now publicly sharing detailed specifications and solution information on a dedicated website (https://bear-detection.ai.iitec.jp/) and announces the official launch of its initiative toward broader societal implementation of safety and security.

Four Key Features of 'Kuma Radar' and Environment-Adaptive Inference
Through proprietary AI trained in-house from scratch and carefully selected hardware, iiTEC has integrated all the following functions required for field operations into a single, end-to-end solution:
1. Blind-spot-free 360-degree edge AI monitoring & directional automated voice announcements
Real-time analysis of distortion-free panoramic camera footage enables precise identification of the direction from which bears appear—e.g., '165 degrees south'—triggering immediate automated warning and voice announcements.
2. Automatic pre- and post-event recording (QNAP product integration)
Automatically records 6 seconds before and 8 seconds after detection, supporting post-event verification and information sharing with police and hunting associations. Event database and CSV export functionality are supported.
3. Hardware-agnostic 'Environment-Adaptive AI Inference'
A system that automatically prioritizes and selects between NVIDIA GPUs, Hailo NPUs, or CPUs based on site budget and conditions. Supports hot-switching without rebooting, enabling flexible deployment from high-performance GPU devices to compact 'Raspberry Pi' units.
4. Centralized management via edge AI management software 'iiChecker'
Visually and intelligently monitors the operational status and detection logs of edge AI devices deployed across multiple field locations.
Global Partnerships and Robust Technical Foundation
To strongly advance its core AI motion business and proprietary edge AI management software 'iiChecker' service (https://www.iitec.jp/services/iichecker/?lang=ja), iiTEC has established a robust technical foundation backed by industry-leading reliability and official licensing.
・ Officially certified 'Certified Partner' by Taiwan's Cupola360
Our CEO was honored as an official partner at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2026, one of the world's largest IT trend expos, as the official Japan market partner.
This enables direct integration with 720-degree omnidirectional spatial patrol imaging technology with no blind spots.
・ i-PRO (Aipro) Certified Partner
Officially certified by i-PRO for advanced security camera integration, enabling reliable hardware configurations capable of withstanding harsh field environments.
・ Full compliance with Ultralytics' 'YOLO' Enterprise Commercial License
Officially signed the Enterprise Software License Agreement for YOLO, the world's leading object recognition AI model. This ensures full compliance, enabling the customization and commercial deployment of secure, high-quality proprietary AI models (including patents and intellectual property).
Future Outlook
Following the strong response at the exhibitions, iiTEC has already received requests for individual demonstrations from multiple municipalities and field practitioners. Moving forward, iiTEC will continue to leverage its reliable system integration technology to rapidly deliver effective DX and security solutions for Japan's pressing social challenge of wildlife encroachment.
