Investor presentation summary
31 Oct, 2026Business model and products
Three businesses: drone services and sales/rentals, digital-twin data processing and software, and custom hardware-to-software solution development.
IBIS2 is a 20 × 20 × 6 cm, 243 g industrial drone designed for confined, dark and hazardous spaces; capabilities include non-GPS flight, dust resistance and operation in pipes as narrow as 500 mm.
LAPIS is being developed from an image-analysis tool into a spatial data platform linking devices, analytics, AI and business systems; its platform business began in FY26/7.
TRANCITY, co-developed with CalTa, converts drone or smartphone video into 3D and point-cloud data; cumulative users exceeded 11,900.
Revenue mix in FY26/7, excluding new areas: drone business 54%, digital twin 20% and solution development 26%; digital-twin revenue grew for a third consecutive year since full-scale launch.
Market position and execution
Domestic drone-market forecasts: ¥497.3bn in FY25, ¥633.2bn in FY27 and ¥954.4bn in FY30, with a five-year CAGR of 13.9%; inspection demand and domestic sourcing are cited as growth drivers.
Cumulative customer base exceeded 450 companies as of July 2026; about 60% of customers were major companies, and 77 engineers were on staff.
IBIS drones completed internal surveys of Fukushima Daiichi units 1 and 3; unit 3 footage captured fallen components and deposits that may include fuel debris.
Kumamoto earthquake response began 18 hours after the event, with Self-Defense Forces and fire services; Yashio sewer inspections identified a vehicle cabin on the inspection day, eight days after the accident began.
A station-building ceiling inspection case cut work from 14 days to 6; a subway shaft inspection avoided scaffolding and reduced scaffolding costs by about 90%.
Growth strategy
Four priorities: expand infrastructure maintenance, build a domestic unmanned-aircraft platform, grow infrastructure data and AI, and develop overseas business through regional partners.
Sewer-drone adoption is expanding: sales in the sewer sector rose from zero before January 2025 to 34 units from February 2025 onward; regulatory changes and partnerships are supporting wider deployment.
Railway inspection drones are under development, with service launch planned for April 2028; the national project has a ¥5.2bn grant ceiling, of which ¥2.7bn had been received by FY26/7, and six railway operators participate.
The autonomous patrol camera Torinos targets routine monitoring of large facilities; estimated market potential is ¥920bn TAM and ¥15bn–¥30bn SOM.
HINOTATE is intended to connect domestic drone development, production, supply chains and critical components; battery collaboration with NEO Battery Materials Korea targets cell-to-aircraft optimization and domestic supply capacity.
