SIRC Co., Ltd. has been selected as one of the "300 Flourishing Small and Medium Enterprises and Small Business Operators" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Small and Medium Enterprise Agency. The "300 Flourishing Small and Medium Enterprises and Small Business Operators" program recognizes small and medium enterprises that are expected to contribute to the growth of the regional economy and the Japanese economy by responding to changes in the economic and social structure, and by challenging business transformation and new ventures. This time, we received a recommendation from the Embassy of Japan in Rwanda and were chosen in the "DX" category out of five categories: "Growth Strategy and Productivity Improvement," "Overseas Expansion," "GX," "DX," and "Investment in People and Environmental Development." Our company provides DX solutions utilizing IoT sensors that can be retrofitted to existing equipment, visualizing power consumption and operational status for each piece of equipment, thereby supporting the efficiency of operations in manufacturing sites and promoting energy conservation. In the Republic of Rwanda, we conducted a survey on water loss reduction and energy-saving measures using IoT sensors, exploring the possibilities of pressure monitoring and remote monitoring in water supply infrastructure. The results of the local survey are expected to contribute to the prevention of leaks and water theft, stable water supply, and the sustainable operation of water supply businesses.

SIRC Co., Ltd. has completed the "Project Survey on Water Loss Reduction and Energy Conservation Measures Utilizing IoT Devices in the Republic of Rwanda," which was conducted as part of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) "Small and Medium Enterprises and SDGs Business Support Project (JICA Biz)." The materials have been compiled into a completion report and are now available on the JICA website. In this survey, we examined pressure monitoring using our IoT angle sensor unit with the aim of reducing water loss in the Republic of Rwanda. This initiative aims to remotely monitor the pressure in water pipes to prevent leaks and ensure stable water supply. For detailed results of the survey, please refer to the "Completion Report on the Project Survey on Water Loss Reduction and Energy Conservation Measures Utilizing IoT Devices in the Republic of Rwanda" published on the JICA homepage.
