Safie Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa, Tokyo; CEO: Ryuhei Sadoshima), the developer of the market-leading cloud recording service "Safie," announced that its wearable cloud camera, "Safie Pocket2 Wide," was added to the New Technology Information System (NETIS) managed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) on May 26, 2024.

NETIS is a database system established by the MLIT to promote the adoption of new technologies in public works. As the construction industry faces a projected labor shortage of 22.0% by 2040, contractors utilizing NETIS-registered technologies can expect additional points in project performance evaluations and comprehensive bidding systems for public contracts.

NETIS Registration Details - NETIS Number: KT-220006-VE - Technology Name: Cloud Recording Wearable Camera "Safie Pocket Series" - Registration Date: May 26, 2024

The "Safie Pocket2 Wide" features an ultra-wide-angle lens capable of capturing a 360° range (180° horizontal/vertical), enabling a bird's-eye view of construction sites that was previously difficult for fixed or standard wearable cameras. This technology ensures "zero blind spots" and allows for clear site verification even in narrow spaces through dewarping functions. Key features include: - Compact, all-in-one design with built-in battery and LTE communication. - Approx. 6 hours of continuous operation. - IP67-rated rugged housing for outdoor use. - Remote adjustment of settings (exposure, LED, image quality) via PC or smartphone. - Integration of video data and GPS location info for streamlined management.

By enabling remote site confirmation and active monitoring by supervisors, this technology contributes to improved safety and productivity. Furthermore, it facilitates the transfer of expertise from veteran engineers to younger staff by storing judgment calls and visual data in the cloud.
