Quanmatic has been selected for the Keio Open Innovation Program JISOU run by Keio Corporation. Starting July 17, 2026, the company will conduct a proof of concept with Nishi Tokyo Bus to optimize bus vehicle allocation (storage table creation). The manual process currently takes several hours to half a day per depot, and the project aims to automate it with an algorithm for three depots.
Bus operators rely on manual storage table creation to allocate vehicles within limited depot space. At Nishi Tokyo Bus, this task takes several hours to half a day each day, and staff must juggle it with phone calls and other duties. Quanmatic will build an algorithm for three depots-Nara, Ongata, and Itsukaichi-to automate the process. The PoC runs from July to September 2026, with development toward practical use planned for October onward.
