A Happy New Year
News that threatened "Security" and "Safety" inside and outside the country came one after another in 2005 last.The earthquake of magnitude 7 occurred in March in the Fukuoka Prefecture west offing not thought to be an occurrence of the earthquake. The earthquake occured in the Miyagi Prefecture east offing in August and also off the coast of Sanriku in November. A large earthquake of Pakistan and the hurricane etc. of the United States became big news in foreign countries. It was not only by the disaster, and was threatened "Security" and "Safety" greatly as for the derailment accident in the Fukuchiyama line and the earthquake-resistant strength deception etc. of construction.These can say both engineering works and the construction technologies are related each other that it is. And, it thinks whether the problem is prevented and the influence cannot be reduced by the profit use of software and the information technology.
As a topic concerning "UC-win/Road" that is our strategic development product,There was movement to make "Spectacle" a theme a lot last year. "Road design indicator(Plan)" was settled on as a spectacle guideline in the road field basing the content of "Three rules for Spectacle and Greenery" that had been approved in June the year before last. And The activity to which scenic byway (beautiful bypath) business is promoted on a nationwide scale is being begun by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. It is thought that three dimension real time virtual reality will be effectively used to design the road in addition in the future. "UC-win/Road" did a big upgrade of two times last year. We have benn developed and provided advanced software functions of Traffic simulation corresponding to signal control and road obstructions, Manual drive corresponding to 3D cockpit and correspoinding to the data exchange with road CAD by LandXML etc.
The engineering service that supports both users is provided for these software. Moreover we want to try spread of its aided technology through "Seminar for a fee" and "Practitioner course", etc. in the future.
Well, in addition, the upgrade was done in most products in "UC-1 series" that a lot of users used last year. Moreover, the product lineup was strengthened so that "PC pier", "Elastic-plastic ground analysis", "Flexible structure sluiceway", "Liner plate", and "Rockshed", etc. have been released as a new product, and we want more users use it.
This is scheduled to be advanced further this year. And it is scheduled that steel bridge CAD product that discontinued sales of the problem of maintenance is made a lineup so far. We will release steel box girder design CAD "ASteelBox" corresponding to three dimension viewer at the beginning of the year. It is the one based on steel bridge design CAD "ARoad" of South Korea though this product is a product corresponding to the standard of Japan such as specifications for road bridges. The excellent design software product developed in various foreign countries is offered to the user in Japan though our company has expanded the export performance of software for several years centering on UC-win/Road.
Our company has hardened the development plan of the strategic product for the next term, and has already started development. We think that it informs of the whole image in the latter half of this year though the period of corresponding is required for development. Development is advanced aiming at offering the excellent software that is loved by users, and used all over the world. Please expect it.
