Mobile AI Development

Contract development of AI systems that run on smartphones

We develop practical AI systems for smartphones, centered on OCR, image recognition, and on-device AI. We support high-speed, high-accuracy implementations for offline environments and field operations.

What we support

  • High-speed OCR and barcode recognition
  • Offline AI design for field operations
  • AI integration into Android / iOS apps
  • Support from PoC to production improvement

You can contact us even before the requirements are fully defined. We propose a stable smartphone-based configuration based on business requirements and usage conditions.

Do you have any of these challenges?

OCR is slow or accuracy is unstable

Cloud AI is causing delays depending on network conditions

You want the system to work offline in the field

You want to embed AI functions into a mobile app but do not know how

You completed a PoC but cannot reach production quality

These issues can be addressed with AI that runs directly on smartphones.

Why run AI on smartphones?

Running AI on smartphones enables operations that are difficult to achieve with cloud AI alone.

Processing can be done on the spot without depending on the network

Operations are easier because cloud transmission is not required

Fast response times fit field workflows

Stable operation even in offline environments

On-device AI is effective for field operations and real-time use cases.

Virtual try-on for JINS

Case study

Virtual try-on for JINS

Customer experience powered by image generation and conversion

A virtual try-on example that lets users try on different glasses while keeping their own glasses on. Real-time image conversion creates a new purchase experience in stores and online.

Glasses fit scoring for JINS

Case study

Glasses fit scoring for JINS

Product recommendations powered by a recommendation engine

A case where the evaluation criteria of store staff were learned to provide fit scoring and ranked recommendations linked with virtual try-on. It supports product suggestions while preserving the quality of customer service.

Use case

Age estimation using a driver's license

A mobile AI use case for identity-related workflows

A use case that combines driver's license reading and face image processing for age checks and identity-related workflows. Balancing accuracy and speed under real device constraints is critical.

Use cases

Smartphone AI is used in a wide range of field operations.

Label and printed text reading in manufacturing sites

Barcode and text recognition in logistics sites

Inventory and stocktaking efficiency improvements

Product information reading in retail sites

Image recognition for inspection and checking tasks

Adding AI features to existing business apps

We design the most suitable recognition method and UI for each use case.

From consultation to development

You can consult with us even before the development scope is fixed.

STEP 1
