Fujitsu Highlights Advances in AI, Robotics, Cloud and Human-centric Digital Innovation at Oracle OpenWorld 2017

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu America, Inc., a Cloud Premier member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN)¹, Oracle Cloud Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Oracle OpenWorld Grande Sponsor, is showcasing a number of enterprise innovations at Oracle OpenWorld 2017. Highlights include an executive solution session with Goro Watanabe, Executive Vice President, Fujitsu Technology and Business of America, Inc., on the latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) for business, while booth visitors can meet the company's first commercial robot, which speaks and interacts with people using AI to help it understand human emotions.

The new, interactive talking robot uses Human Centric AI Zinrai, which is the Fujitsu approach to artificial intelligence, to learn and analyze human emotions based on such factors as tone of voice, while using a camera to recognize emotions and faces. The resulting analysis allows it to generate suggestions based on specific interests. The robot will be used for consumer and industrial purposes such as at reception desks, care facilities and other service jobs. It has achieved a natural level of conversation thanks to cloud technology that stores data from conversations. In addition to its use in the robot, the Fujitsu Zinrai AI platform will also be demoed in a more general display at the booth to highlight its business innovation capabilities.

Along with the other AI solutions, booth visitors can learn about a quantum-inspired AI cloud service, which combines Fujitsu digital annealer and 1QBit software to enable advances in machine learning and large-scale optimization problems. The booth will also include demos of the Fujitsu Sai Anomaly Detection Engine, which detects anomalies in factory operations for real-time failure prediction.

With its overarching theme of Human Centric Innovation: Digital Co-Creation, the Fujitsu booth (#3107) emphasizes business innovation, digital platforms, enterprise productivity and enterprise applications. Other booth exhibits will showcase the recently announced Fujitsu SPARC M12 server running premiere Oracle database software – a combination that offers the world's number one core performance.² There will also be a cut-model of the new Fujitsu SPARC M12 server to show off its innovative Vapor and Liquid Loop Cooling feature and the high performance SPARC64® XII processor.

Also featured in the Fujitsu booth:

• A new cybersecurity solution for the digital factory that combines the Fujitsu SPARC M12 server's virtually unlimited data processing power and capacity with the Striim^TM platform for real-time analysis, forecasting, and decision making to increase the productivity of security analysts.
• Solutions for optimizing systems and infrastructure in order to thrive in highly competitive business environments, providing exhibits on Oracle Cloud MSP (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) – Oracle Cloud at Customer, Fujitsu K5®, Oracle Database as a Service (DBaaS), AMS automation, Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Cloud & Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Cloud.
