Both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and IOTA tangle are involved in the project to capture a large share of the domestic social infrastructure conservation market that is valued at 170 trillion Yen worth $1.5 trillion.
According to the report, this type of predictive maintenance system designed to share industry data using a distributed database is going to be the first of its kind in the world.
The project will develop a cloud-based SaaS software that has a decentralized database using IOTA’s distributed ledger technology, developed Artificial intelligence system, and digitizing and sharing infrastructure data.
