Kawasaki/Hiroshima, April 15, 2026 — Fujitsu Limited and Chugoku Electric Power Transmission & Distribution have signed an intellectual property licensing agreement to support renewable energy integration and modernize power transmission maintenance.

Under the deal, Fujitsu will utilize Chugoku Electric’s dynamic line rating technology and related IP to launch a new service for power transmission and distribution operators. The service combines vibration data from optical fiber sensing with AI analytics to optimize real-time transmission capacity and predict future conditions, enabling more efficient use of existing grid infrastructure.

The solution also supports drone-assisted inspections and data-driven maintenance, reducing reliance on manual processes and addressing workforce challenges. Both companies aim to accelerate digitalization in power infrastructure while improving grid resilience and facilitating greater adoption of renewable energy.
