Liberaware Inc and Shinmei Industry Ink Partnership MOU

Liberaware Inc. and Shinmei Industry Co., Ltd. signed a memorandum of understanding on a business partnership on July 1, 2025, with the aim of promoting the social implementation of drone technology for indoor and outdoor inspections and improving the efficiency of on-site work.

In recent years, the utilization of drone technology has been attracting attention in the manufacturing and infrastructure industries as the efficiency and labor saving of inspection and maintenance work for aging facilities has become an urgent issue. Riveraware has contributed to the maintenance and management of social infrastructure through the development of IBIS, a small drone specialized for small spaces, and through inspection and data analysis services. Meanwhile, Shinmei Industry is promoting the creation of products that meet the diverse needs of the field, utilizing the technology it has cultivated in the automotive-related business and the development and manufacturing of special-purpose vehicles.

The purpose of this partnership is to combine the strengths of both companies to promote the use of drones for on-site inspections and accelerate their implementation in society.
