Takayama Shoji Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi, CEO: Kenji Takayama) and tmsuk Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Munakata, Fukuoka, CEO: Yoichi Takamoto) have developed a the autonomous nursing care robot \u201cSOWAN\u201d Co-developed.It can perform patrols in nursing care facilities, watching over, rushing in case of abnormalities, notification of information, etc. Orders will be accepted from November 18, 2019 (Monday) at Takayama Shoji. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nursing care sites that require 24-hour support.
Especially during the night hours, many employees are often forced to perform various tasks with a small number of staff members, which places a heavy burden on the duty shift staff. In addition, the shortage of human resources in the nursing care industry is serious, and it is expected that the super-aging society will continue to advance in the near future, which will result in a shortage of approximately 377,000 as of 2025 (* 1). The need for is increasing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why the automatic nursing care robot “SOWAN” was born, which is responsible for patrolling, watching, urgent rush, information notification, etc. If the pulse rate becomes abnormal, SOWAN will rush to the room as instructed by the equipment, tell the situation to the staff via video, and keep a record. When SOWAN finds a wandering person during a patrol, it recognizes the individual and calls out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOWAN is a robot that has been repeatedly verified in residential-type nursing homes operated by an affiliated company of Takayama Shoji. And now, we provide the necessary functions at a low price as a package plan. By introducing it to nursing care facilities, it reduces the burden on care staff and provides users and their families with peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Based on the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s \u201cEstimated Supply and Demand for Care Workers for 2025 (Fixed Value)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25c6Advanced\ntechnologies <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-precision automatic patrol and collision avoidance with a 360-degree sensor. Equipped with face recognition technology to recognize individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25c6Easy installation\nat low cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We provide basic plans with necessary goods and services packaged at low prices. There are many options to meet individual needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<Main functions><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1.Auto patrol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrol from a fixed place\nat a fixed time, quietly avoiding obstacles. Equipped with the latest\n“LiDAR (* 1)” (360-degree omnidirectional sensor) that is also used\nfor automatic driving of cars. High-precision patrol is realized by “SLAM\n(* 2)” technology that simultaneously performs self-location estimation\nand map creation from information acquired from sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Automatically\nrecords the pulse in conjunction with the activity meter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulse information is sent\nto the server from the activity meter (wearable device) worn on the user’s arm\nand monitored continuously. The record can be checked on the tablet device in\nthe room and the administrator terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Emergency automatic\nrush<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the pulse value\nexceeds the set value, SOWAN will automatically rush to the room in response to\nthe dispatch instruction from the server and start recording video as soon as\nit enters the room. Staff can check the video remotely and have a real-time conversation\nwith the user through the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Automatic sliding\ndoor system “Portair”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A system that can easily\nturn a conventional sliding door into an automatic door. The door is\nautomatically opened and closed by communication with the robot, allowing the\nrobot to enter and exit the room independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Normally, it can also\nbe used as a manual sliding door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Recognition of\nregistrants and call out (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If SOWAN finds a\npre-registered person, such as a wanderer with dementia, during a patrol, it\nwill identify the individual and call out to return to his\/her room. The text\ncan be changed according to the time of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Automatic charging\n(optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the battery voltage\nof the SOWAN is low, it automatically returns to the charging station and\nresumes patrol when charging is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Falling person\ndetection \/ report (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find someone who\nhas fallen, you will be alerted to staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
