Additionally, through integration with other BI tools, it is also possible to build features such as "location visualization." In addition to Takaya Co., Ltd., Ayataka System Development Co., Ltd., Takada Engineering Co., Ltd., and Suness Co., Ltd. will also be exhibiting their products. We look forward to your visit.
