ITOKI Announces New Vision for Equipment & Public Works-Related Business Supporting "Work" in Specialized Fields

Supporting a wide range of spaces, including logistics, pharmaceutical, and cultural facilities Strengthening solutions that address social issues

ITOKI CORPORATION (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Koji Minato) has announced a new vision for Equipment & Public Works-Related Business.

This vision aims to achieve both the resolution of social issues and the creation of value by using the power of equipment to support "work" in a wide range of specialized fields, including logistics, dispensing, disaster response, and cultural facilities. This business will be clearly positioned as a "second pillar" alongside Workplace Business, and will further accelerate efforts to build a sustainable social infrastructure. In recent years, as social issues surrounding specialized fields have become increasingly complex, this vision clearly states the direction for resolving these issues.

Positioning of the new vision: "Opening up new possibilities for work and the future in specialized fields"

This vision contains our answer to the question, "What is a space where people can feel safe and perform to their full potential?" Facilities are not just structures, but the very "systems" that support society, culture, and the people who work there. This vision clearly expresses our company's understanding of this.

We quietly support values such as people's peace of mind and safety, the stability of social infrastructure, and the inheritance of cultural assets with on-site facility solutions. We will continue to deepen the contributions that only a company that has dealt with a wide range of specialized fields can make.

Social Background | Diversifying on-site needs, rebuilding a "safe working environment"

Specialized facilities for medical care, logistics, culture, research, and other fields are facing a complex array of challenges, including the difficulty of securing personnel, increasingly sophisticated work, and increasingly complex disaster response and visitor management.
In particular, work tends to become more personalized and the burden is unevenly distributed, so there is a need to create an environment that can balance efficiency and safety. Strengthening physical safety is also important in preparation for natural disasters. There are also expectations for multilingual support and improved visibility for guidance equipment, and equipment that meets these needs will be the foundation that supports peace of mind and sustainability on-site.

Value provided | Itoki's equipment solutions that address "invisible burdens"

To address increasingly complex on-site issues, we are developing cross-disciplinary solutions based on the idea of "supporting people with the power of equipment."
We have built a system that allows for stable operation of the site with limited manpower by reducing manpower through automation and standardization of work. In preparation for disasters, we contribute to protecting human life and assets by designing spaces with highly durable equipment that is explosion-proof, airtight, and watertight. In addition, by reducing human error through system control and UI design, and by introducing guide equipment that is multilingual and has a dramatic effect, we have achieved both "communication power" and "peace of mind" even in cultural and public spaces. We support the creation of safe and comfortable environments that meet the different needs of each site.

Future Outlook | Accelerating growth as the "second pillar" towards a sustainable society

Based on our mission of We Design Tomorrow. We Design WORK-Style." we have been working to support work not only in office spaces but also in highly specialized facilities. In particular, our Equipment & Public Works-Related Business, which targets medical, logistics, research, and cultural facilities, has already become one of our core areas.
Going forward, we will redefine this field as a "second pillar" alongside Workplace Business, positioning it strategically and further accelerating the evolution and deployment of solutions that contribute to the sustainability of people and society.
