Message from the CEO
Takayuki Kumada CEO
Blue innovation is the pioneer of drone application for industry and have dedicated to develop coast monitoring system with drone, optimized drone and components, application, to provide solution and to recover the coasts lost by the Great East Japan Earthquake since established in 1999.
Currently, Blue innovation Co., Ltd. is the innovative solution provider delivering five services such as security, indoor inspection, education & safety, entertainment and logistics by using Blue Earth Platform (BEP) as its axis. BEP is the infrastructure platform that enables complex missions via cooperation and coordination of multiple drones, and is combined with all the solution services Blue innovation offers.
In the indoor inspection sector, Blue innovation is developing and experimenting with drone systems for inspection of indoor narrow spaces such as sewers, plants, factories, warehouses, and tunnels, as well as studying the optimal aircraft for such tasks.
In the security sector, Blue innovation provides our “T-FREND” model drone that is capable of performing security and healthcare management of employees, even in office spaces where GPS does not reach. “T-FREND” can fly autonomously and shoot pictures in the dark upon setting its flight path on the screen of a tablet PC.
In the logistics sector, Blue innovation has developed Japan's first “Logistics Drone Port System” that enables safe take-off and landing, and we provide solutions for logistics based on this “Drone Port”. This system also enables precise landing by relying on visual representations of the Drone Port instead of current GPS positioning which may deviate from the actual position by several meters and is affected by radio interruption.
In the education & safety sector, Blue innovation offers our “Pilot Support System” powered by our own original drone.
This drone has the ability to record both flight logs and steering logs. This function is useful for analysis in the case of an accident. Since the drone's flight logs and steering logs are both recorded, it is much easier to determine whether the cause of an accident was human error or machine malfunction.
In the entertainment sector, Blue innovation has presented various kinds of performance events using multiple formation flight and LED lights that attract the attention of spectators.
Blue innovation strives to provide the solutions our clients desire through these drone services in various sectors.

Blue Earth Platform
Development Background of Blue Earth Platform
A society in which numerous drones are flying over us in the sky to support human life as an extension of other infrastructure is coming soon. We at Blue innovation are developing Blue Earth Platform (BEP), which is an infrastructure platform for integrating and managing object attribute data and data gained from various kinds of sensors, and with this platform, we can provide optimized work missions utilizing AI and Blockchain in order to help realize this fast-approaching “automated society with drones”.
Features of Blue Earth Platform
Our Blue Earth Platform is a mission-based platform jointly developed by Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) and Blue innovation that manages multiple robots or drones cooperatively and simultaneously to accomplish complicated work missions. On the basis of the concepts of the UNR Platform developed by Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR), BEP enables its users to complete their work missions in a smart way, via automatic control of multiple drones and robots realized by integration and management of custom map data, object position data, and object attribute data.
Services
Drones contribute to our future
Blue innovation offers various kinds of drone services and products, mainly for the five sectors of security, indoor inspection, pilot training, entertainment, and logistics, in hopes of creating a better world.
Indoor inspection
Indoor inspection using drones enables stable flight even in indoor spaces where GPS signals are not accessible.
Security
Security service with drones instead of humans in closed spaces such as offices, warehouses, and factories, etc.
Logistics
We are innovating to create a safe and efficient logistic drone service to solve the shortage of labor and inefficient work flow processes of the logistics industry.
Education & Safety
We provide safe and secure pilot training programs for companies who wish to provide in-house pilot training.
Entertainment
Blue innovation presents various kinds of performances by multiple formation flight.
In addition, we can also develop many other events such as drone flight races, hobby events for kids, etc.
Products
ELIOS
Elios is not affected by compass error, because Elios does not use GPS. Therefore, Elios has eliminated many issues which previously proved to be extremely crippling, and thus can achieve stable flight in pipelines, factories, and other narrow spaces.
T-FREND
Autonomous indoor flight with highly precise positioning is possible, even inside offices where no GPS signals can be received. In addition, this allows for security services to be offered at night (in dark environments).
Logistics Drone Port System
Blue innovation developed the Drone Port System for safe landing in a joint venture with the Ministry of Land. This system enables precise landing by relying on visual representations of the Drone Port instead of current GPS positioning which may deviate from the actual position by several meters and is affected by radio interruption.
Drone Pilot Support System
This drone has the ability to record both flight logs and steering logs.
This function is useful for analysis in the case of an accident. Since the drone's flight logs and steering logs are both recorded, it is much easier to determine whether the cause of an accident was human error or machine malfunction.
PLANET DRONE
Blue innovation presents various kinds of performances by multiple formation flight.
In addition, we can also develop many other events such as drone flight races, hobby events for kids, etc.
