What iPX does

iPX Co., Ltd. is a Tokyo-based private Japanese technology company founded in 2015 that provides simulation-based development, model-based development (MBD), and engineering services for autonomous driving, robotics, and logistics automation. The company sells proprietary software (Transit Optimal Platform for real-time 3D factory/warehouse digital twin simulation; xOpt for multi-AGV route and action optimization; LogiUp for logistics layout, AGV count, and route optimization as a bureau-style service; D2Edge for tag-free LiDAR/camera sensing at the edge), alongside a hardware line called Flexible Attachment Vehicle that resells and integrates UFACTORY xArm and DOBOT CR series robot arms, AgileX and NIDEC S-CART AGV/UGV platforms, and AAEON BOXER edge computing devices with NVIDIA Jetson. Technology integrations span NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, DRIVE Sim, CARLA, CarSim, Vissim, Adams, AGX Dynamics, and Unreal Engine 4, with ROS/ROS2 support across products.

The company operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market model combining direct enterprise engagement (via website contact forms and major Japanese trade shows including Automotive World, Robot Innovation Week, and SMART LOGISTICS Expo), engineering services, software licensing (subscription-style), and a hardware resale model. Since 2021 it has been a member of the NVIDIA Omniverse Partner Council Japan; in February 2025 it entered a capital and business alliance with Dai Nippon Printing to promote manufacturing and logistics digital transformation. A LogiUp Distribution Partner Program launched in October 2023 extends indirect channel reach, and a new SERVICE GATEWAY line (including the free D2GI SimView tool launched June 2026) signals a freemium go-to-market motion.

iPX serves major Japanese manufacturers and logistics operators including Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Motors, AISIN, Asahi Kasei, Toshiba, Panasonic, Kobelco Construction Machinery, Yamato Transport, Nippon Express, Dai Nippon Printing, NX Shoji, and JATCO. The company has 30 employees, 47 million yen in founding capital, and is led by Representative Director Takato Kouda (幸田 高人). Operations are Japan-centric (Kanto region), with no disclosed international footprint. The company maintains ISO 9001 (quality management, established April 2018) and an internal ISMS information security policy (since November 2015).

Revenue model

1. Software Licensing (Transit Optimal Platform, xOpt, LogiUp, D2Edge): Licensed software products for logistics simulation, route optimization, and sensing edge computing. Customers purchase or subscribe to use these platforms for their operations.
2. Simulation Services (LogiUp): iPX executes simulations on behalf of customers and delivers results as reports and videos. Customers prepare necessary data, and iPX delivers simulation results reports and videos. This includes the former Simulation Results Report service, rebranded as LogiUp.
3. Hardware Sales (Flexible Attachment Vehicle components): Sale of hardware platforms including robot arms (UFACTORY xArm, DOBOT CR series), AGV/UGV vehicles (AgileX Robotics, NIDEC S-CART), and edge devices (AAEON BOXER series) for secondary development and automation solutions.
4. Engineering and Consulting Services: Automation consulting, development of recognition/judgment/control systems for autonomous driving, engineering services for simulation environments, MBD support, and customization services.

Core offering

iPX develops and sells proprietary simulation software platforms (Transit Optimal Platform, xOpt), provides logistics simulation-as-a-service (LogiUp), builds edge sensing devices (D2Edge), and resells/integrates partner hardware (robot arms, AGV/UGVs, edge computers) under its Flexible Attachment Vehicle line. Its core business is delivering simulation-based and model-based development support for autonomous driving, robotics, and logistics automation customers, complemented by engineering and consulting services that span concept simulation through real-equipment verification.

Product overview

iPX is a technology company providing development support and joint development services incorporating cutting-edge technologies in simulation, AI, and robotics. The product portfolio consists of a platform approach centered on Transit Optimal Platform (real-time 3D factory/warehouse simulation for digital twin and logistics optimization), xOpt (AGV route optimization), and LogiUp (3D logistics simulation service, formerly Simulation Results Report), supplemented by the Flexible Attachment Vehicle hardware line (robot arms, AGV/UGV vehicles, edge computing devices). Transit Optimal Platform serves as the core simulation engine, which can be combined with xOpt for optimal route planning and LogiUp for logistics analysis. D2Edge provides edge sensing for factory digitization, while the FAV hardware products (xArm, CR Series robot arms; AgileX and S-CART vehicles; BOXER edge devices) enable secondary development and proof-of-concept for autonomous systems. The SERVICE GATEWAY includes D2GI SimView and upcoming tools for simulation integration.
