Kikkoman Leverages Matterport's Digital Twin Platform To Digitize Historic Soy Sauce Production Line
26 Março 2024 - 10:00AM
Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), announced that Kikkoman
Corporation, the world’s leading soy sauce producer, has used
Matterport's Digital Twin Platform to create a digital twin of the
company’s historic Goyogura soy sauce brewery.
Originally established in 1939 as a dedicated facility supplying
soy sauce to the Imperial Household Agency of Japan, the Goyogura
brewery produces some of Kikkoman’s premium series of soy sauces,
including the ‘Goyogura Shoyu’ and the D2C exclusive brand,
'Kikkoman Honten'. Although the brewery was moved to the current
location in 2011 due to its age, it is still constructed with
original elements of the historic facility like wooden barrels,
stone walls, and gates, continuing to preserve its traditional
brewing methods to supply the Imperial Household Agency with its
world-renowned soy sauces.
Using Matterport’s Property Marketing solution, Kikkoman aims to
offer factory tours to consumers so that it can be shared with the
world. Enriched with notes, guides and videos, the digital twin
serves as an educational resource for understanding and preserving
the traditions and culture of soy sauce production.
The company is also considering Matterport’s Facilities
Management solution for maintenance, repairs and measuring the
space to reduce equipment management costs and time on site. By
minimizing the need for personnel to physically enter and inspect
the facility, the company would be able to save time and effort for
hygiene management.
The Goyogura brewery was captured quickly with Matterport’s
Capture Services and the Pro3, minimizing disruption to the
facility's operations and ensuring low-impact on the historic
equipment. Equipped with lidar and RGB sensors, Matterport’s Pro3
produces both photo-realistic 3D tours and photos as well as
detailed point cloud data that can be used for BIM (.ifc, .rvt) and
CAD (.dwg) files.
“As part of the branding of the ‘Goyogura Shoyu’ and the
‘Kikkoman Honten’ series, we believed that allowing customers to
see the traditional brewing methods of the production site would
create interest in the craftsmanship of our brewing process,” said
Kaname Tsuji, Manager of the EC Strategy Group, Products
Management Division. “Having seen the accuracy and smoothness of
the technology, we considered Matterport capable of conveying the
reality of the Goyogura brewery, providing access to areas of the
facility which visitors cannot step in. We hope that through this
special access, including views of the interior of our cedar
brewing barrels, which are usually seen through glass, we will
delight our customers as part of our exhibitions and communication
on the D2C exclusive 'Kikkoman Honten'.”
“We are honored that Kikkoman, a symbol of Japanese food
culture, is using our services,” said Howard Xiao, President and
Operating Officer of Matterport Japan K.K. “We hope that by
utilizing Matterport, the charm and craftsmanship of traditional
soy sauce production will be passed on to generations to come, not
only in Japan but also overseas. We also look forward to supporting
Kikkoman’s consideration of uses in the future, such as our
Facilities Management solutions, using the power of our digital
twin platform as part of this journey.”
The 'Goyogura Shoyu Brewery' is part of Matterport Japan’s
'Connecting Culture and the Future with Digital Twins' project,
which aims to digitize and widely share Japan's cultural properties
and historical buildings such as Aso Shrine, Tenzan Sake Brewery
and others.
