About the Misdelivery Prevention System "ArU-cana" "ArU-cana" is a misdelivery prevention system that allows users to collectively recognize codes attached to packages by simply holding a smartphone over them. It checks whether packages are complete and if any unauthorized packages are mixed in, by cross-referencing with shipping data. By using Wam System Design's independently developed ArU-code® technology, it enables collective reading of multiple codes, reading from oblique angles, reading moving objects, and reading from a distance. In inspection operations, which have burdened drivers' cargo handling work, it not only dramatically shortens working hours but also supports the standardization of work, eliminating variations in results among different personnel. In an era where a decline in the working population is unavoidable, this solution thoroughly standardizes and streamlines operations, functioning as a "next-generation logistics infrastructure" that compensates for physical labor shortages.

About Wam System Design Since its establishment in Wakayama in 1989, Wam System Design has been committed to "solving on-site challenges" for over 30 years, addressing issues in logistics sites. In 2012, it began its solution business using color codes, and in 2020, it launched a business using its self-developed ArU-code®. The company provides various solutions that solve on-site challenges.
