Liberaware Co., Ltd. Has been chosen to partner with Spot Work Co., Ltd. As part of open innovation projects in Chiba Prefecture, such as the CHIBA OPEN INNOVATION PROGRAM “PORT”. The program will run through eiicon Co., Ltd. And bring the two companies together to improve speed on-site in combination with automated detection technologies.
The pilot program is aimed at solving an expanding problem within the field of operation related to infrastructure, facility management, bulk industry, and disasters. While problems with equipment can be identified using the robot and the camera, the shortage of labor and skilled workers makes prompt action difficult.
Libera ware, a company working on robotics and spatial data solutions, will introduce its spatial iPaaS platform LAPIS, as well as the IBIS series of drones intended for inspections in confined spaces. Spot Work will present its Spot Work platform that helps connect companies with workers in the vicinity of a project site. This reduces the time and expense of travel while enabling companies to meet onsite needs more rapidly.

As part of the project, the companies will work on connecting LAPIS with Spot Work so local personnel can gather information and validate sites that robots and cameras locate. They will also consider how to digitize and bring the data together in a central location to enable remote management.
The co-creation will take place between November 2026 and February 2027 with results to be presented beginning of March 2027.
Beginning in Chiba Prefecture, Liberaware and Spot Work seek to create a scalable business model of spatial data infrastructure linked with a regional talent network-beyond a pilot project-to operate more efficiently for facility management and maintenance of equipment.
