Blue Earth Platform (BEP) and BEP Port Drone Port System

Blue Innovation Co., Ltd. is a Tokyo-based drone and robot system integrator founded in June 1999 and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market in December 2023. It automates and digitises work at high-altitude and hazardous sites to address ageing infrastructure, disaster response and labour shortages in Japan.

Its Blue Earth Platform (BEP) is a device-data integration platform made of sensing algorithms and a server application layer, which connects multiple drones, robots and sensors regardless of make or model so they can be moved, collect data and be managed remotely with a single command, with APIs for adding new devices. On top of BEP run BEP Port drone port systems, including a disaster prevention version and the VIS port information management system, BEP Line for power line inspection, robotic patrol and cleaning, automated delivery, and the ELIOS 3 indoor inspection drone. Customers include Kyushu Electric Power, Shimizu Corporation, Mazda and several local governments.

• Blue Earth Platform: device-data integration layer that controls many drones, robots and sensors with one command.
• BEP Port: drone port systems for automated take-off, landing and remote operation.
• BEP Port disaster system: auto-launch infrastructure for disaster monitoring and municipal alerts.
• BEP Port VIS: information management for drone port operations.
• BEP Line: drone-based power line inspection, now with a BEP Line mini module for small drones.
• ELIOS 3: spherical indoor inspection drone with UT and survey payloads for confined spaces.

• Provincial authorities installing drone ports to survey flood and landslide areas automatically after heavy rain.
• Power companies inspecting transmission lines and substations with docked drones on a schedule.
• Factories and plants using indoor drones to inspect boilers, tanks and ducts without scaffolding.

• Hardware-agnostic control lets organisations mix drones, robots and sensors from different vendors under one platform.
• Drone ports enable remote, scheduled or emergency flights without sending pilots to the site; the disaster system launches within one minute of a J-Alert warning.
• Automated inspection of power lines, plants and confined spaces reduces work at height and in hazardous areas.
• Packaged solutions with training and support shorten deployment for utilities, builders and local governments.

Japan and other Asian countries face ageing infrastructure, frequent natural disasters and shrinking field workforces, which drives demand for drone ports and remote operations that run without on-site pilots. Vietnam has similar pressures from storms, floods and landslides and a fast-growing grid and industrial base, creating a need for automated monitoring and inspection.

Founded on 10 June 1999; headquartered in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; 68 employees and capital of 796 million yen (2025). Listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market in December 2023. Signed a brand licensing agreement with Taiwan's Aeroprobing in 2025; NTT e-Drone Technology distributes ELIOS 3 in Japan.
