* ■Background of introduction *
Going out while raising children comes with many anxieties and challenges. Particularly in commercial facilities, crowded restaurants and restrooms often cause children to become fussy while searching for an empty spot. If these experiences continue, it is not uncommon for people to find it difficult to go out at all.
This initiative was undertaken based on the desire of both companies to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience to those who visit the facility, and to create a friendly world where Emi Terrace Tokorozawa aims to become a place that people will want to visit over and over again, and to “eliminate waiting” in Bakan. I did. The vacancy information visualization service we are currently offering will create an environment where customers, especially those with children, can spend their time in peace and comfort.
* ■This initiative *
You can check the real-time usage status of toilets, nursing rooms, stroller rentals, etc. within the Emi Terrace Tokorozawa facility by broadcasting it on the facility’s signage or accessing it from your smartphone.

“Throne” provided by Bakan is a service that visualizes toilet vacancy information in real time by installing a sensor that fits in the palm of your hand inside the toilet. The detected information can be flexibly distributed through digital signage, websites, and in-store apps, so it has already been installed in many commercial facilities and office buildings.
