ROBO-HI Corporation has officially launched 『ROBO-HI® EYECAN Staff』 — a DX solution focused on boosting human workforce efficiency rather than robots.
Built on the robotics expertise ROBO-HI has accumulated over many years, EYECAN Staff optimizes the work of cleaning, security, inspection, and store-operations staff using nothing more than a smartphone — driving higher productivity across facility management.
BACKGROUND
With Facility Management (FM) and Building Management (BM) industries facing severe labor shortages, improving the efficiency of on-site workforce management has become increasingly urgent.
ROBO-HI observed that in many cases, digitizing and optimizing staff work delivers faster, more tangible results than replacing people with robots outright. The company therefore built EYECAN Staff to visualize each employee's skills, progress, and performance — while lifting motivation and optimizing human resources.
To address the growing share of foreign workers in Japan, EYECAN Staff also integrates multilingual instructions, AI-driven automated reports, and gamification to shorten training time, cut costs, and lift employee satisfaction.
THREE CAPABILITIES THAT LIFT WORK EFFICIENCY
1. Eliminate wasted travel time
Even in GPS-denied environments such as buildings, basements, or tunnels, the system pinpoints each employee's location to within roughly 3 meters by combining IMU data with building signal strength through AI.
Managers gain an accurate view of where each employee is, optimize task dispatch, and slash travel time.
2. AI-driven report automation with multilingual support
Staff simply snap before-and-after photos; AI generates the report automatically (EYE-Scan) and guides the next task (EYE-Action).
Manual note-taking is replaced with a streamlined digital workflow, while multilingual instructions make training foreign staff much easier.
3. Optimal staff dispatch
Powered by the 『ROBO-HI DANCE』 platform, the system visualizes each employee's skills and work progress in real time, then auto-assigns the best-fit task.
The solution not only evaluates performance accurately but also clears operational bottlenecks — moving toward a lean operating model with the right-sized team.
SAFETY FEATURES FOR ON-SITE STAFF
Incident detection and precise location
When the smartphone detects a fall or prolonged inactivity, the system automatically sends a check-in request. If the worker doesn't respond, an alert is sent to the monitoring center or the nearest colleague with the precise location so help arrives fast.
Smartwatch-based health monitoring
By linking to a smartwatch, the system continuously tracks heart rate and skin-surface temperature. When signs of heatstroke or other health anomalies appear, it issues early warnings so the company can take preventive action before an incident occurs.
