Asilla, Inc. (Headquarters: Machida-shi, Tokyo; CEO: Go Onoue; hereinafter "Asilla"), guided by its vision "Toward a safe and comfortable world through the power of technology," announces the official deployment of its AI security system "AI Security asilla" at Canal City Hakata, a large-scale mixed-use facility under the comprehensive management of Sun-Life Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka; President: Teppei Kawasaki; hereinafter "Sun-Life"), starting June 2026.
In the Fukuoka/Hakata area, where large-scale redevelopment is underway, awareness of facility safety management is rising further amid the opening of new facilities and increased pedestrian traffic. In addition, as diverse visitors including inbound tourists arrive, interest in mechanisms that realize higher levels of safety and security is spreading throughout the entire area.
In response to these changes, Sun-Life, which provides comprehensive management for numerous commercial facilities and office buildings across Fukuoka and the Kyushu region, has been working to advance and streamline security operations through AI technology. In its pursuit of creating safe and comfortable spaces for facility users, the company has been progressively deploying the AI security system "AI Security asilla" at its managed facilities.
As part of these efforts, the company has now begun official deployment at Canal City Hakata, one of Fukuoka's flagship large-scale mixed-use commercial facilities.
Looking ahead to the changing area environment, Sun-Life aims to improve spatial value with greater safety and comfort for visitors, working to further enhance the overall safety standards of the facility through the use of the AI security system "AI Security asilla."
This initiative officially deploys "AI Security asilla" at Canal City Hakata, which Sun-Life manages. AI video analysis utilizing existing security camera footage enables detection of suspicious behavior and visualization of crowding.
1. Early Detection of Suspicious Behavior and Anomalies
AI detects suspicious behaviors such as prolonged loitering on floors and violent acts in real time, immediately notifying security personnel. The system also automatically captures intrusions into off-limits areas or after closing hours, enhancing overall facility safety standards including at night.
AI complements blind spots that human eyes cannot cover, continuously supporting an environment where visitors can spend their time with peace of mind.
2. Rapid Response to Health Emergencies and Falls
AI automatically detects signs of health distress such as falls and unsteady movement, notifying staff at an early stage.
For a facility visited by diverse guests from Japan and abroad, a system that does not overlook anomalies translates into care for every individual visitor.
3. Advanced Facility Operations Through Data Utilization
Real-time understanding of crowding conditions supports smooth visitor guidance and a comfortable facility experience.
Through optimization of security personnel placement and data-driven operational decisions, the system supports building an operational framework that maintains high safety standards even with limited personnel.
Going forward, Sun-Life and Asilla will continue to collaborate to advance the creation of a safe, secure, and comfortable environment at Canal City Hakata, contributing to the improvement of safety standards in the Hakata area, which welcomes many visitors from Japan and abroad.
