ENSURING THE SAFETY OF OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMAGE ANALYSIS SERVICE
Leveraging image analysis technolgies we evolved in the field of medical IT, Fujifilm's "Infrastructure Photo Analysis Cloud Service" uses AI to help small teams of engineers quickly detect cracks in a large number of bridges, buildings, tunnels and more.
LEARN MORE
Social Infrastructure Image Analysis Service
Fujifilm's image analysis technology uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help engineers detect cracks in vital infrastructure like bridges, tunnels and buildings. These structures age over time, and frequent visual inspections are required by national and local governments to ensure public safety. Traditionally, these inspections have required advanced technologies and highly-experienced and skilled engineers to inspect each structure by eye, and identify each crack by chalking a line beside it. Next, they would sketch each crack or fissure, trace the entire image, and finally make digital images to include in reports.
With a virtually unlimited number of sites to inspect, and less time to inspect them, making the process efficient has become a priority issue.
Fujifilm has applied our medical image analysis technology that detects blood vessels in images to the process of detecting and visualizing cracks in structures. We've traveled to inspection sites, listened to the views of inspectors and construction consultants, and collected an enormous amount of images and data about cracks. Through machine learning, we've continued developing and evolving the technologies that create a safer world.
BETTER COMMUNICATION THROUGH HIGH-QUALITY PRINTING
GRAPHIC SYSTEMS
The printing industry has changed. Long run jobs on offset presses used to be the norm, especially in commercial and newspaper printing. Today, short run digital printing is increasng and the technology continues to evolve to meet this demand, overcoming past difficulties in reproducing high-quallity and faithful colors that compete with offset presses.

Graphic Systems
In the printing industry, long run jobs on offset presses used to be the dominant technology, especially in commercial and newspaper printing. As printing technology has changed, and as information and personal tastes have become ever more diversified and personalized, the demand for short run digital printing has grown.
Fujifilm's digital printing presses are capable of producing the same high quality and faithful color reproduction as offset presses. Our technology for uniformly applying a photosensitve layer to photographic film has led to a high-speed, high-precision inkjet printhead that can eject up to five billion ink particles per second. The result is a wide range of color expression and smoother gradations that were previously impossible to reproduce with digital printing.
In addition to offset printing, we will continue to provide inkjet solutions through a wide range of products and technologies.
Our mission is to support the creation of diverse content that moves hearts, changes minds, and inspires people. From everyday printed materials to valuable cultural, historical and cultural content, Fujifilm's technologies will play an indispensible role.

YEAST FILTERS
We've adapted our film technology to build porous yeast filters with holes 1/1,000,000th of a meter thick. Meaning,
we're helping brewers stabilize the quality of beer.
LEARN MORE
Microfilters for Beer
Fujifilm has also adapted photo and film technology to create porous yeast filters with holes one-millionth of an inch in diameter. This technology is helping brewers filter more yeast and bacteria... and deliver tastier, high-quality beers.
Better filters make better beer.
Photographic film technologies have always been at the core of our business, and Fujifilm has applied them to a wide range of uses. It shouldn't be a surprise that brewing better beer is yet another example. The microscopic holes in photo film work very well to create filters for yeast. Previously, yeast had to be heat-treated to maintain a brew's quality. But using micro-filters guarantees the complete removal of yeast and bacteria from the beer without the need for heat treatment. This hasn't only helped make draft-quality beer available in cans and bottles, but also helped home brewers enjoy tasty craft beers.
Of course we didn't stop there. This technology, which has the ability to filter the smallest of particles, is being used in various industrial applications such as chemical filtration for plating solutions, and for filtering foreign bodies out of the water used in critical cleaning processes, such as for LCD displays and hard disk drives.
We will NEVER STOP evolving our core technologies to make the world a better place.
