AIsing

The company's core business revolves around providing its proprietary edge AI algorithms and offering AI implementation support, primarily through a licensing model rather than contract development. AISing targets the manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure sectors, working with large corporations such as OMRON, DENSO, East Japan Railway Company, and Tokyo Gas. Its business model involves AI consulting, joint development with major clients, and providing licenses for its AI technologies. The company offers services that guide clients from identifying potential AI use cases and assessing their value to implementation and maintenance.

AISing has developed a unique AI algorithm series called "AiiR" (AI in Real-Time). Unlike conventional cloud-based AI that can suffer from communication delays, AiiR enables both prediction and learning to occur directly on the edge device. This technology is characterized by its lightweight nature, requiring only kilobytes of memory, which allows it to be installed on microcontrollers. It operates at high speeds (in microseconds to milliseconds) and can perform incremental learning, allowing the AI to adapt to equipment degradation and environmental changes in real-time without needing to communicate with a cloud server. Key solutions include a vibration suppression AI, which helps reduce defects in production lines, and a predictive maintenance AI that forecasts equipment failures. For example, in a collaboration with OMRON, AISing's technology was used to control the process of laminating films for lithium-ion batteries, reducing waste by over 90% by suppressing vibrations.

Recognized for its technological contributions, AISing has received numerous awards, including the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award at the University Venture Awards 2018 and was selected as a J-Startup, a program that supports potential unicorn companies in Japan.
