Tokyo Artisan Intelligence, a Yokohama-based edge AI venture led by president Hirotaka Nakahara, has received investment from Tokyo Keiki and its subsidiary Tokyo Keiki Rail Techno, forming a capital and business alliance. The two sides had already worked together on a track inspection labor-saving system that uses line sensor cameras to photograph the area around rails and automatically determine defects.
The two companies had already worked together on railway equipment. That project, a track inspection labor-saving system, uses multiple line sensor cameras on a moving train car to photograph the area around the rails and automatically determine defects.
Tokyo Keiki's group works in maritime and port, industrial machinery, construction machinery, water and sewage, defense, space, and railways, and says it is promoting AI adoption to raise the added value of those products. TAI develops edge AI that can run on-site in harsh environments. The companies say fusing TAI's edge AI and semiconductor technology with Tokyo Keiki's product lineup can accelerate development.
