HACARUS Check AI software enables high-precision visual inspections using AI. Our uniquely developed "small quantity good product speed learning" AI does not require defective product data or a GPU. It excels in inspections that were difficult with traditional rule-based methods, such as for metal plates, rubber products, fabric materials, and leather materials, and can be used without any knowledge of AI. If you are struggling with visual inspections or have existing inspection equipment and are having trouble handling AI, please feel free to contact us. If you do not have an imaging device, we can provide suggestions. ■ Features - High precision results with a small amount of good product data: just a few dozen good product images are sufficient, with learning time of only a few minutes. - Understandable AI reasoning: the reasoning behind decisions can be explained, allowing for further application and development. - Fast and low power consumption: no GPU required, can be executed in your existing environment. <Software Pricing> First year: 3 million yen Subsequent years: 960,000 yen/year

• Software (middle, driver, security, etc.)

■HACARUS Check AI Software Runtime License By allowing AI to learn "continuously," "quickly," and "frequently," it can consistently deliver results from a single system development, even as the inspection targets change over time. This helps to suppress the occurrence of false positives and reduces the time and costs associated with additional system development. <Background> In traditional visual inspection systems, due to time-related changes such as mold wear, system development was required every time the workpiece changed, and without modifications, false positives would occur. The runtime license allows the AI in HACARUS's visual inspection system to continue learning about time-related changes while operating in the inspection process after implementation. <Runtime License Price> 990,000 yen (up to 5 units, thereafter 198,000 yen per unit) *For more details, please contact us.
