Key features of “ONLINE FACE®” “ONLINE FACE®” wins the Governance DX category award at “SUCCESS STORY AWARD 2025,” hosted by Digitalization Window (デジタル化の窓口)!!

“ONLINE FACE®” has received the Governance DX category award at “SUCCESS STORY AWARD 2025,” hosted by Digitalization Window (デジタル化の窓口).

This award recognizes not only the track record of SaaS/IT service adoption but also focuses on what results were achieved after adoption, honoring outstanding success stories that represent 2025.

This time, ONLINE FACE® was selected for the Governance DX category in recognition of its adoption case at Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd.’s Yokkaichi Refinery for safety-education DX and site-entry management DX.

ONLINE FACE® / Akamedia Japan Co., Ltd.

At the Yokkaichi Refinery, a large number of site entrants had to be handled during periodic turnaround (TA) maintenance, which led to numerous operational challenges.

After adopting ONLINE FACE®,

the refinery achieved operational improvements, and 93% of trainees during the TA period shifted to online training.

The significant reduction in in-person training sessions, reduced travel and waiting time for personnel including partner companies, and the maintained quality of safety education were all highly evaluated.

“There are still few examples of shifting site-entrant safety education, which had previously been premised on paper and in-person instruction, this far online with AI identity verification at its core.

We highly value the fact that DX was advanced without compromising safety, fairness, or regulatory compliance.”

ONLINE FACE® is a next-generation e-learning system that combines AI facial recognition, proprietary patented technology, and blockchain technology.

It supports on-demand streaming, live streaming, online examinations, and more, and has been adopted in fields requiring a high degree of rigor, such as national qualifications, statutory training, safety education, and site-entrant education.

Through AI-based random identity checks, fraud detection, and multi-device verification, it achieves the same level of authenticity, fairness, and governance online as in person.

Going forward, ONLINE FACE® will continue to advance education DX and the social implementation of AI trust infrastructure across industries, beginning with construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, and energy.
