This experiment utilized OKI’s Zero-Energy IoT Series ("ZE-IoT Series"), which requires no wiring for power or communication, for remote slope monitoring along railway tracks. In the demonstration, it was confirmed that the ZE-IoT Series, which uses wireless sensors and cameras with NB-IoT (Note 2) communication, can provide stable monitoring even in local environments with high humidity and heavy rainfall. In addition, the results confirmed its effectiveness in strengthening disaster prevention and improving the efficiency of maintenance and management for railway infrastructure. Based on the results of this project, OKI aims to contribute to the advancement of disaster prevention and maintenance management for railways and other infrastructure, while also considering the expansion of these initiatives to other regions, countries, and sectors facing similar challenges.","length":1343,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"In recent years, countries including Indonesia have frequently experienced landslides and floods caused by climate change, resulting in serious damage to transportation infrastructure such as railways.
