SI Solution Research Institute

We propose solutions utilizing
cutting-edge technologies,
including AI and big data.

SI Solution Research Institute of K’s proposes the optimization and automation of business operations, which have been dependent on human experiences, based on AI and optimization algorithms. In addition, we analyze valuable big data accumulated by enterprises, municipalities, etc. and endeavor to propose business models based on the data.

Cases of K’s research

INVESTIGATION_01Development of “a system for supporting
the judgment of people” utilizing AI, etc.

It can be said that “operations that require the judgment of people” are still to be systematized. However, technologies, such as AI and mathematical optimization, have enabled systems to make a judgment on behalf of people. In detail, systems will support the design of production and inventory plans, demand prediction, marketing analysis, etc., for which veterans have been in charge of decision making.

INVESTIGATION_02Development of “data-based services and systems”
for municipalities

In Japan, a large number of municipalities are required to streamline or automate their operations, to cope with the shrinking population, the declining birthrate, and the aging society. For these municipalities, we are researching and developing services and systems for “reforming business operations based on data” by utilizing AI and big data analysis technologies.

Example of a developed system: Future population estimate system

The National Institute of Population and Social Security Research (IPSS) forecasts that the populations of over 70% of municipalities will decline by over 20% in 30 years. K’s has developed a system for forecasting the population in each small area, such as an old urban area, a developed residential area, or a rural area, around Japan.
