Tokyo, Japan – October 15, 2026 – SENSYN ROBOTICS, Inc. and KRAFTIA CORPORATION today announced the launch of a collaboration to advance operations and reduce labor requirements in the building services engineering and construction industry through AI and digital technologies. The collaboration follows an investment in SENSYN ROBOTICS through the KRAFTIA Innovation Fund, an investment limited partnership managed by Spiral Innovation Partners.
To address challenges at sites involved in building services engineering and construction, servicing, and maintenance, the two companies will combine SENSYN ROBOTICS’ AI and data utilization technologies with KRAFTIA’s extensive business foundation and practical expertise in the field. Through this collaboration, they aim to improve productivity across the industry and help address labor shortages.
Background and Objectives
The building services engineering and construction industry faces increasingly severe labor shortages and a declining number of experienced engineers. Ensuring quality, enhancing safety, and improving productivity have also become key management priorities. These changes are driving growing expectations for business transformation through AI and digital technologies.
Under its long-term vision leading up to its 100th anniversary in 2044, KRAFTIA aims to achieve sustainable growth by diversifying its businesses and enhancing their quality. As part of these efforts, the company established the KRAFTIA Innovation Fund to promote co-creation with startups, focusing on areas such as AI and digital technologies, green innovation, and construction technology.
SENSYN ROBOTICS, meanwhile, has supported the advancement of operations and the reduction of labor requirements at social and industrial infrastructure sites through cutting-edge technologies, including AI, data, and robotics. The company has developed technological capabilities and expertise through deployments across a wide range of sites.
Through this collaboration, the two companies aim to advance operations and reduce labor requirements throughout the building services engineering and construction process, including design, construction, and maintenance management, by combining KRAFTIA’s on-site expertise and industry network with SENSYN ROBOTICS’ AI and data utilization technologies. In addition to AI-powered operational support, they will work to create new solutions and business opportunities, with a view to using robotics and physical AI in the future.
Future Outlook
The two companies will explore specific initiatives to improve operational efficiency and enable automation through AI and digital technologies, starting with the various challenges encountered at building services engineering and construction sites.
Initially, they plan to jointly examine opportunities to apply their technologies and expertise in areas such as improving operational efficiency in renewable energy and advancing and automating inspection work in building services engineering and construction. Looking ahead to the use of physical AI and robotics, they will promote solutions to on-site challenges and create new value, contributing to the sustainable development of the industry.
