Covid pandemic accelerates digitization efforts
at full speed
Toso Fudosan Kanri Co., Ltd. (Toso Real Estate Management,hereafter "Toso") was established in October 1982 as a company
responsible for the operation, management, and repair of the TEPCO's
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant's Corporate Center. Over thecourse of the past several years, the company has suffered the loss ofmost of its businesses due to the Great East Japan Earthquake andthe accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Throughthe concerted efforts of the entire company, Toso has been able torebuild its business, surpassing pre-disaster levels.
Today, Toso is involved in a wide range of businesses, including theoperation and management of facilities related to the decommissioningof the Fukushima Daiichi and Daini nuclear power plants, civilengineer ing and c onstr uction projects, suppor t for the living
environment of people involved in the decommissioning project,brokerage and sales of local real estate, travel business to increase
the number of people interacting with Fukushima, and restaurant
business in the Futaba Town Industrial Exchange Center.
With the spread of Covid in 2020, Toso faced the pressing need to take
BCP measures, such as responding to any outbreak of clusters in theoffice, and responding to infected but asymptomatic employees whoare unable to come to work but are able to work at home. Deciding thatswitching to remote work would prove effective with a view to reforming
work styles, Toso began to consider introducing this work style.
However, in light of the worldwide Covid situation and budgetaryrequirements, the company needed to select a system that could beintroduced quickly, ideally within FY2021 as well as meet our various
requirements.
Mr. Chikara Okada, in charge of planning and general affairs at thePlanning and General Affairs Department and facility management at
the Facility Management Department of Toso talked to us about thebackground to their introducing remote work.
When the first wave of Covid hit, our employees had no means to work
remotely, as they were limited to one desktop PC per person in theoffice and were not allowed to take their PCs or data out of the office.
Our employees also frequent TEPCO power plants, so there was afear that if Covid were to spread at our office, it would spread to thepower plants themselves, so we needed to consider providing
employees with the means to work remotely as soon as possible."

As a means of introducing remote work amidst limited time and cost,
we considered a system that would connect in-house desktop PCs andnotebook thin clients on a one-to-one basis. There, we narrowed down

requirements of the thin clients to be introduced.
・Windows 10 IoT which works and feels similar to current environment.
・Balanced performance and price・Reliability for stable operation
・Keyboard operability
So we selected Atrust's mt182W as a candidate device that would meet these requirements.

Ascentech and Atrust's support infrastructure a major
factor in the process of selecting the device
The Atrust mt182W is a mobile thin client device with a 14-inch full HD
narrow frame display and a 13-inch class chassis size despite its 14-inchsize.
Mr. Yoshihiko Nomura, Deputy General Manager of Planning andGeneral Affairs Department, Toso Fudosan Kanri Co., Ltd. tells us why
they selected "Atrust mt182W".

Mr. Chikara Okada

We were considering a variety of products, but found that most required
three months or more for delivery, partly due to the recent shortage ofsemiconductors. In response to our need to launch our system within ashort time frame, Ascentech was able to deliver virtually immediately,
thanks to their inventory of devices in stock. In addition, tests conducted
on loaned units revealed no problems with various installations orsettings. Moreover, the size and weight of the screen, as well as theoperability of the keyboard, were all satisfactory. In addition, their trackrecord of OEM supply to major manufacturers attested to the reliability of
their devices."

Another key reason for our decision to use the Atrust mt182W was theexcellent and thorough support provided by Ascentech and Atrust.
Okada also shared his assessment of Ascentech and Atrust :"The unparalleled short delivery time and highly responsive support from
Ascentech and Atrust during the validation phase proved to be a major
factor in our decision to go with them. The peace of mind of knowing thatthey could quickly resolve the various concerns we had during thevalidation phase was invaluable."So, this is how Toso decided to install 111 "Atrust mt182W" devices fortheir employees to use as remote work devices.
The implementation was successfully completed in March 2022,
allowing for remote work along with other Covid measures.
“In the former environment, there were situations where a suspected
new Covid case would prevent people from coming to the office andgetting their work done, but now employees without symptoms are ablesales@atrustcorp.com | www.atrustcorp.com

to work remotely. Moreover, this system has given us the option of switching to remote work smoothly
when trains stop running, which happens several times a year due to strong winds and othercircumstances specific to our area. We also expect it to help us deal with any unexpected problems
that may arise during long holidays. This system also works without any problems for web
conferencing in the remote work environment.” (Nomura)

Also considering "remote PC arrays" as yet another extension of remote work
“In the introduction of thin clients thistime, we have basically distributed thedevices to all our employees, and weare considering adding more when wehave more employees. We also hope tolook into Ascentech's Remote PC Arrayfor the purpose of improving operationand management and as anenvironment for in-house desktop andremote access when it is time to replace
the PCs in the of f ice (i.e. when theWindows OS suppor t expires, etc.)”(Okada)Atrust mt182W
