Business&Industry IoT&Digital Transformation
Our vision extends far beyond the walls of a building. Building on the implementation capabilities and proprietary technologies honed through smart-office development, WHERE continues to expand systems that connect buildings and, ultimately, entire cities.
With extensibility designed for integration with urban OS and smart-city platforms, we are advancing a vision in which buildings interoperate as part of the broader urban infrastructure. Through technologies and design that never compromise on connection, we are shaping a groundbreaking smart society.
At the core of WHERE’s design philosophy is “Multi-Building Connect.” Designed to support every type of building—offices, factories, logistics centers, hospitals, commercial facilities, and more—it links every element within them, from HVAC and lighting to sensors, access control, and attendance systems.
By bridging the divides between disparate equipment, systems, and on-site environments, it enables buildings to operate as unified, dynamically responsive environments. Beyond that lies a future in which entire cities come alive—connected through urban OS and smart-city platforms.
Key Advantages：01
With proprietary infrastructure technologies such as the EXBeacon Platform and WHERE mesh, more than a thousand devices can be stably connected, enabling real-time visibility into the movement of people and objects and into environmental conditions. Built on wireless, high-density, and fault-tolerant architecture, these technologies—proven in practical deployment—are now being expanded as the foundation for smart buildings that connect and activate entire facilities of increasing complexity and diversity.
It supports indoor positioning, multi-sensor data collection, visualization, and analytics as the core platform for smart buildings. Its wireless, low-construction architecture enables high-density sensor placement. It has also demonstrated reliable operation across diverse environments such as offices, hospitals, factories, and commercial facilities.
Our proprietary flood-type mesh network enables stable multi-device communication even across thousands of nodes. Its architecture is highly resilient to radio interference and communication loss while offering great installation flexibility. Using BLE advertising for “connection-less communication,” it serves as a core communication backbone inside large-scale buildings.
Key Advantages：02
HVAC, lighting, sensors, and business applications are integrated according to equipment specifications and structural conditions.
Free from dependence on specific manufacturers or legacy systems, fully customized (“from scratch”) integration is possible for each building environment.
Key Advantages：03
Data integration and control extend across heterogeneous device manufacturers and business applications.
Even in multi-vendor environments, buildings function as fully connected systems.
Key Advantages：04
Threats in both physical and cloud environments are addressed through multi-layered protections, including device-tamper prevention, authentication and communication controls, and access management—ensuring building-wide safety and operational reliability.
Key Advantages：05
Beyond individual smart buildings, future integration with urban OS and city-development initiatives is anticipated.
With scalability and versatility as foundational principles, the platform is designed to serve as a connection infrastructure for entire urban environments.
Focusing on smart buildings, we deliver solutions that span DX, IT infrastructure, on-site operations, and urban systems.
By bringing together the full strength of our group, we are shaping a sustainable and comfortable future—extending from buildings to cities and ultimately to society as a whole.
