Toshiba Corp will establish a smart community center in Kawasaki. The 15-story building is scheduled to open in October 2013, and will provide a business base for approximately 7,000 people.
The new center will provide a unifying base for Toshiba's organizations engaged in smart community businesses in Japan, including Toshiba Group companies and business divisions developing cloud solutions. The consolidation of related staff in a single location will facilitate closer cooperation with Toshiba's nearby R&D centers and social infrastructure engineering and manufacturing facilities.
The center will itself be a showcase for smart community solutions, as it will integrate an intelligent Business Energy Management System (BEMS). Operation of the BEMS will be featured in the center's smart community show room, along with Toshiba Group's latest smart community and smart factory technologies.
The new center will be a smart building that integrates Toshiba's latest smart community technologies in a comfortable, energy efficient work environment. Its features quake-absorbing structure, uninterruptible power supply, flood barriers, ICT, control and sensor technologies, photovoltaic power generation and stationary battery systems, optimized power control and management, and real-time tracking and visualization of power consumption.

Isn't this the same company we read about on these pages the other day that is bringing out a new CD-audio cassette-FM boom box? What might they do next - produce an earthquake resistant cassette player?
