Decsys

What Decsys does

Decsys (株式会社デクシス) is a Japanese private manufacturer of image processing-based automated visual inspection systems for quality control on production lines, headquartered in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, with operating sites in Tendo (Yamagata, manufacturing), Kyoto (R&D), Fukuoka (Kyushu, spun off as Decsys Kyushu Co., Ltd. in October 2025), and Bangkok (Decsys Thailand Co., Ltd.). Founded in 1998, the company has accumulated 500+ installation case studies and 51-100 employees, and targets manufacturers in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, semiconductors/electronics/displays, cosmetics and food packaging, automotive, and general precision manufacturing. Its only disclosed end customer is Gunma Seiko Co., Ltd. (gear component inspection).

The company designs and manufactures a vertically integrated product stack: proprietary image processing controllers (TA-A300 series, with the EX-1000 successor slated for April 2026), the patented Multiple Imager camera (capable of capturing up to 8 lines of images under different optical conditions in a single unit), and a portfolio of complete inspection systems including index-type (BC/SC/i series), linear-type (LC series), liquid foreign matter (LV-C), powder/vial (PV-C), gantry cell (TM), desktop (KENTABLE-J), and robot-based inspection systems. Three signature technologies underpin the portfolio: Multi-Vector Search (proprietary algorithm for defect detection on patterned or textured backgrounds), Dynamic Tracing (real-time tracking of highlight lines on curved surfaces), and the Multiple Imager camera. The company offers image processing libraries, alignment software, and a software development environment, alongside OEM/contract development services.

Decsys monetizes primarily through custom-quotation hardware sales of full inspection systems, priced by configuration (cameras, conveyors, index vs. linear), with supplementary revenue from OEM/contract development, image processing controllers and cameras sold individually, and after-sales service and maintenance. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with technical consultation (free sample verification and demo), supported by an authorized dealer channel, regional demo events, trade show participation (Monozukuri Fair, iREX, International Imaging Equipment Show, Interflex, etc.), webinars, and a YouTube channel. The company has been recognized as a Habataku Top 300 SME (2021) and received the Order of the Sacred Treasure decoration (February 2024) for environmental contribution via donation to Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. No public funding rounds have been disclosed; the company is founder-led by President and Representative Director Seki Tadao.
