What Roxy does
Roxy Co., Ltd. (株式会社Roxy) is a privately-held Japanese software company founded in April 2020 in Iwakura, Aichi Prefecture, that develops and licenses Roxy AI, a data-centric AI visual inspection platform for manufacturing. The platform is built around a data-quality-first methodology and combines four AI engines (Defect Detection AI 不良検出AI, Good-Product Learning AI 良品学習AI, Image Generation AI 画像生成AI, and Zero-Training Measurement AI ゼロ学習計測AI) with proprietary visualization tools (Perception, Tactile inspection 触診, Attention Map, One-Click Annotation) intended to let non-AI-engineers build inspection models. Runtime components include a Coordinator (PLC bridge), Monitor (display), and Manual Inspector, with native integrations to major Japanese and global industrial cameras (Keyence, Omron Sentech, Sony, Basler, Teledyne, Toshiba Terry, iRayple, Avaldata) and PLCs across SLMP/MC, FINS, Ethernet/IP, ModbusTCP, and TCP socket protocols. Deployment targets include automotive parts, metal, food processing, coating, and residual/contamination inspection.

Roxy product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Roxy develops and licenses Roxy AI, an AI visual inspection software platform that lets manufacturing users detect defects, foreign objects, and residues on production lines without AI engineering expertise. The platform combines defect detection AI, good-product learning AI, image generation AI, and zero-training measurement AI with native connectivity to industrial cameras and PLCs, and is sold through perpetual Learning and Runtime licenses plus optional custom-development services.
Product overview
Roxy AI is a unified AI visual inspection platform comprising Modeler (learning/license) for AI model creation and Runtime License for inspection execution. The platform integrates four core AI capabilities: 不良検出AI (Defect Detection AI) as the primary inspection engine, 良品学習AI (Good Product Learning AI) for anomaly detection using only good product data, 画像生成AI (Image Generation AI) for synthetic training data creation, and ゼロ学習計測AI (Zero-Learning Measurement AI) for pre-trained size/count checking. Runtime environment includes Coordinator (PLC bridge), Monitor (inspection visualization), and Manual Inspector (simple single-camera setup), with native connectivity to major industrial cameras (Keyence, Omron Sentech, Sony, Basler, Teledyne) and PLCs (Mitsubishi, Keyence, Omron, ModbusTCP). The platform emphasizes a data-centric approach with visualization tools (パーセプション, 触診, ワンクリックブースト) enabling quality-focused AI training without requiring AI expertise.
