Shiga University and Teikoku Databank Joint Research Center uses DataSpider
A client (a steel wholesaler) conducting joint research with Shiga University and the Data Engineering and Machine Learning Center (hereinafter referred to as the DEML Center), operated by Teikoku Databank Ltd., has successfully developed an automated algorithm that improves the efficiency of setting optimal delivery routes for multiple trucks. DataSpider was used to polish the data used in building this system. Our employees supported the students involved in this research at the DEML Center in building the system. Specifically, we held regular monthly meetings to provide advice on building the system using DataSpider.
We also provide support to students by using Slack to answer their questions in detail, and we provide DataSpider training customized for Shiga University students before they join the DEML Center to help them get started on the project smoothly.

As part of our social contribution activities, we have endorsed the "School Collaboration Fund" initiative, which aims to enable Kamakura City's elementary and junior high schools to collaborate with universities and companies to realize engaging Education, and have made a donation. Education sector has high social significance and is one of the most important goals in the SDGs. We have been collaborating with the Kamakura City Board Education on the safe and effective use of Education data, and in the process, we have created a dashboard related to the living conditions of students while exchanging opinions with various stakeholders.
For these activities, we received the "2021 Municipal Service Award (Certificate of Appreciation)" from Kamakura City. In school Education, it is necessary to take into account the society that children will live in 20 years when they become adults. In order to maximize the potential of children, who are the main actors in society, and to build a social environment in which no one is left behind, we will continue to work with the Kamakura City Board Education to contribute to the realization of an individually optimized Education environment for each child.
