About DeepX
DeepX is a Japanese startup founded in 2016 by Kaoru Nasuno, a graduate of the University of Tokyo with a background in theoretical and experimental particle physics.
The company focuses on automating machinery, particularly in the construction and heavy equipment industries, through the use of artificial intelligence. DeepX has developed an AI-based system that enables the automation of complex tasks, such as the operation of hydraulic excavators and cranes. This technology allows for the automation of a series of repetitive operations, from excavation to loading onto dump trucks, which has been demonstrated at construction sites.
The company's business model is centered on providing its AI automation technology to machinery manufacturers and construction companies. By integrating DeepX's AI, these companies can enhance the efficiency and safety of their operations. The company serves clients in the construction and manufacturing sectors, offering them a way to address labor shortages and improve productivity.
DeepX's core product is its AI-powered automation system, which combines deep learning and machine control to automate the movements of machinery. This system is designed to be retrofitted onto existing equipment, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of machines. The company has also developed a system called "GeoViz," which creates a 3D visualization of a worksite in real-time, further enhancing the capabilities of its automation technology.
