AIsing

What AIsing does

AIsing is a Tokyo-based edge AI software company founded in December 2016 that develops proprietary algorithms enabling both learning and inference directly on microcontrollers, eliminating cloud dependency for industrial control and monitoring applications. Its core product is the AiiR® algorithm series — comprising AiirMST® for machine control, AiirMSAT® for anomaly detection, AiirDNN® for embedded deep learning, and AiirDTW® for time-series pattern matching — supplemented by AI-PID control technology and a World Model / digital twin capability built on multi-agent reinforcement learning. The company packages these algorithms into three vertical solutions: vibration suppression AI for production equipment, predictive maintenance AI for machinery and consumables, and energy efficiency optimization AI for power and infrastructure assets.

AIsing serves enterprise customers in Japanese manufacturing and energy/infrastructure via a direct sales motion. Named customers include OMRON, Kao, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, TAISEI Corporation, Taisei Lamick Group, Tokyo Gas, East Japan Railway Company, Hitachi Construction Machinery, and Mabuchi Motor — collectively cited at 80+ business achievements. The company has formal capital and business alliances with Tokyo Gas and Taisei Lamick Group, plus technology partnerships with major semiconductor vendors (Renesas, Arm, STMicroelectronics, NXP).

The business model combines up-front AI introduction consulting, paid AI evaluation and feasibility studies, custom AI implementation/development contracts, recurring AI model maintenance services, and per-device mass-production licensing of the AiiR® algorithms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based with multi-year enterprise contracts. The company has raised approximately 1.2 billion yen cumulatively across multiple rounds since 2017, with recent corporate-backed rounds from DRONE FUND (March 2024) and Taisei Lamick Group (June 2026). Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, with the company recognized as a J-Startup candidate by METI and recipient of awards including the METI Minister Award (2018), CEATEC 2021 Division Grand Prix, and Forbes Japan Rising Startups TOP20.

Core offering

AIsing (AISing Ltd.) develops and licenses proprietary edge AI algorithms (the AiiR® series) that perform both learning and inference on microcontrollers without cloud connectivity. It sells these algorithms, packaged vertical solutions (vibration suppression AI, predictive maintenance AI, energy efficiency optimization AI), and implementation services to Japanese manufacturers and energy/infrastructure operators. Its flagship differentiator is Physical AI combining advanced control engineering with edge-deployable AI for real-time machine control.

Product overview

AIsing (株式会社エイシング) is an edge AI company founded in 2016, specializing in Physical AI solutions for manufacturing and energy/infrastructure sectors. The core product is the proprietary AiiR™ edge AI algorithm series, which uniquely supports both learning and inference on edge devices without cloud connectivity. The portfolio comprises four specialized algorithms: AiirMST® for machine control, AiirMSAT® for anomaly detection, AiirDNN® for deep learning on microcontrollers, and AiirDTW® for time-series pattern matching. These algorithms power three main vertical solutions — vibration suppression AI, predictive maintenance AI, and energy efficiency optimization AI — which are delivered alongside a full-service implementation lifecycle covering advisory, AI evaluation, development, model optimization, and mass production licensing. The company also develops super-resolution and image recognition AI as part of its generative AI research.
