What AEMIC does

AEMIC Corporation (エイミック株式会社) is a Kyoto-based, privately-held Japanese manufacturer founded on June 23, 2009, that specializes in high-precision electronic measurement instruments—primarily digital resistance meters, capacitance meters, and harness checkers—used for quality control and inspection of passive electronic components during manufacturing and sorting. The company sells into the passive component manufacturing supply chain, with named end-user customers including TDK, Murata Manufacturing, ROHM, Panasonic, KOA, Rubycon, Shibaura Electronics, Daiichi Giken, and Yokohama Denshi Seiko, among others, all operating primarily within the Japanese electronics manufacturing ecosystem.

The product portfolio centers on proprietary 4-terminal (Kelvin) measurement technology combined with thermal EMF cancellation and synchronous detection methods. Instruments span ultra-low to ultra-high resistance measurement (micro-ohm to tera-ohm), capacitance testing for MLCC, film, aluminum electrolytic, and tantalum capacitors, plus specialized instruments for battery internal resistance, thermistor sorting, leakage current, 100kHz ESR/Z measurement, and wire harness continuity checking. Technical specifications include 10ppm resolution, ±0.005% basic accuracy, and measurement speeds as fast as 0.9msec (START to EOC), with support for ultra-small chip components (0201 and 03015 sizes). Hardware connectivity includes RS-232C, GP-IB, LAN, and barcode reader interfaces.

AEMIC operates a B2B enterprise sales motion with direct sales to Japanese electronics manufacturers and channel partner distribution across Taiwan (STATELY), China (STATELY), Malaysia (HAREL), and Thailand (Engineering-Sci). Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales of measurement instruments; pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are provided on inquiry. The company is led by Representative Director Tomoyuki Uchiyama (内山智之), operates with 11-50 employees, and has ¥5,000,000 in registered capital, indicating a small, founder-led specialist manufacturer. New product launches continue, with the AE-1262A Battery mΩ/V Meter released in April 2021 and ongoing product specification updates documented through early 2026.
