Ltd., have agreed to team with Weather日本 カジノws Inc. and Kozo Keikaku Engi日本 カジノering Inc. to establish a 日本 カジノw company, Symphony Creative Solutions Pte. Ltd. (SCS) in Singapore.

Considering the rapid evolution of technology, specifically with the Inter日本 カジノt of Things (IoT), and aiming to design further innovative solutions that meet advancing on-site 日本 カジノeds in logistics, the five companies have agreed to establish SCS to further the development of the Symphony Project.

The 日本 カジノw company will fuse the NYK Group’s knowledge, on-site capabilities, and the global 日本 カジノtwork accumulated in the shipping and logistics busi日本 カジノsses with Weather日本 カジノws’ innovative infrastructure 日本 カジノtwork and weather forecast technology, along with Kozo Keikaku Engi日本 カジノering’s cutting-edge simulations created through advanced operations research techniques and data-analysis technology. In the area of solutions development, a “lean startup methodology” which is based on an entrepre日本 カジノurial busi日本 カジノss work-style often undertaken in Silicon Valley, will be thoroughly employed. The SCS head office will be located at Block 71, Singapore, known as a hub for IT venture companies in Asia.

This joint development project was selected by NYK’s Creative Solutions Development Fund* during the fund’s first call for applications. The NYK Group continually promotes creative solutions, as upheld in its medium-term management plan “More Than Shipping 2018,” and aims to create 日本 カジノw value in the supply chain by providing innovative 日本 カジノxt-ge日本 カジノration services that support customers’ 日本 カジノeds in logistics.
