General information
- Short Summary
- A Japanese company specialized in Artificial Intelligence based robot vision and collaborative robotics, offers system solutions to EU companies active in any type of industry to improve their production process. Expected outsourcing agreement. Possibility for investment as well with relevant partners.
- Full Description
-
A Japanese company offers system solutions to any type of industry for its production process, using Artificial Intelligence based robot vision and collaborative robotics for EU companies under an outsourcing agreement.
Their Services:
The company offers customized system solutions for various industries, utilizing their in-house developed AI vision system, software development (including collaborative robot operation), and mechanical engineering. This provides them with the flexibility to create dedicated systems or production lines that fit the client's workspace, helping optimize their production procedures while minimizing the need for additional construction or modification of existing infrastructures.
Client Focus:
In Japan their primary clients are active in the food industry. The company has chosen this market because it demands a high standard of food safety, requiring mechanisms that not only comply with regulations but also operate safely in close proximity to humans in limited spaces. However, it's important to note that their services extend beyond the food industry to areas like geophysical surveillance and mobility-related software development. Additionally, the technology applied for food manipulation can be adapted for other types of products.
It is their understanding that, in the European market, many companies have unique needs that cannot be easily fulfilled with available products or systems. Their approach involves thoroughly understanding their clients' requirements through consultations and field visits, aligning with the clients’ expectations and infrastructure.
The company’s Goal:
Their goal is to free workers from monotonous and repetitive tasks through robotics and automation, allowing businesses to harness the creativity and knowledge of their human resources. They aim to improve job quality and offer their potential EU clients the opportunity to co-create innovative solutions to address their specific challenges.
Design and Development Process:
The steps the Japanese company follows when designing and developing a solution are:
• Initial client consultations to understand their needs and challenges, desired outcomes, environmental conditions, system specifications, and cost considerations.
• Creation of a rough system design based on the information gathered in the previous step, with a preliminary cost estimation.
• Further discussions with clients to refine the design and define specific system specifications and overall development costs.
• Design and development of a Proof of Concept (PoC), which closely resembles a prototype and undergoes functionality testing.
• Based on the results from the PoC, the creation of the final system design and prototype for client presentation.
• Production of the finalized system or mass production, as required.
Expected partnerships:
The company is open to finalize an outsourcing agreement with EU companies looking to implement robotics and AI in their manufacturing process to improve their competitiveness.
At the same time, the company is also open to new investors or sponsors to further develop its activities and expansion. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company offer two main types of products and services:
1) Development on Consignment:
The company specializes in mechanical engineering, robot programming, and AI-based robot vision to create customized solutions for product quality inspection, selection, segregation, sealing and packing. They can integrate existing market equipment into the system if needed, without imposing equipment restrictions or requiring clients to modify their plans.
2) Humanoid Collaborative Robot:
The company humanoid collaborative robot is their flagship product. Each robot is made by demand, and they do not manage a stock for it, delivery time is approximate 3 months*. It is designed to work seamlessly alongside humans without barriers or limitations. Featuring a user-friendly design, an easy-to-operate interface, and its high mobility, it seamlessly blends with human workers, enhancing workplace productivity. Depending on the specific needs, it can be programmed to work in an assembly line or cell production and can even be programmed to operate existing machinery.
This robot represents the combination of the company’s technical capabilities and serves as a showcase of everything they can offer.
*Additional time be required, to program the robot to operate specific types of products and/or equipment - Sustainable Development Goals

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
Target Audience:
Any industries seeking automation solutions and addressing workforce shortages.
System Integrators:
The company is open to partnerships with system integrators as well as directly with companies that are looking for a capable design and build partner for various industries. In this collaboration, European partner companies can take on projects while the Japanese company collaborates with them in designing, developing, and delivering systems/products on a commission basis.
While they are open to projects in diverse fields, their expertise lies in designing production lines for the food industry. The Japanese company also is interested in system integration in pharmaceuticals, space exploration, and mobility robotics.
At the same time, the company is also open to new investors or sponsors to further develop its activities and expansion. - Type and Size of Partner
