Background

In recent years, there have been a number of emerging needs: ensuring safety through the contactless operation of terminals and devices via gestures or voice, sensor-driven monitoring, providing road safety through autonomous driving, resolving labor shortages, and promoting environmental consciousness through more efficient electricity consumption. As a result of technological advancement in these areas, the system scale has grown. Despite that fact that this tends to increase development man-hours spent, companies are expected to cut down on development time and get products on the market quickly. To help solve this problem, we use the four solutions below to provide development services for hardware (HW) and software (SW) when customers are in the planning and advanced development stages.

• Voice solutions
• Motor solutions
• IoT solutions
• Autonomous Driving and Recognition Solutions

Service Overview

Our Strengths

• We utilize the technologies of our group and partner companies, which have extensive expertise in HW and SW development.
• System development advantages from combining the various technologies of our partners
• We utilize the advanced device knowledge accumulated by our FAE department
• A rapid development system that leverages in-house and group company resources
• We are able to offer solutions that incorporate the latest technologies from both Japan and abroad due to our industry-academia-government collaborations, joint research with universities, and collaborations with technology-owning companies in multiple countries, including ventures and open innovation activities.

Summary

Voice solutions

We offer solutions that solve communication issues between “humans and machines” and between “humans and humans” through sound-related technologies that include speech recognition, sound source separation, and speech synthesis.

• In-Car Communication
  Systems for smooth In-Car communication
• Ambient noise reduction speaker system
  Systems for clear communication in noisy environments

Motor solutions

We offer a one-stop development solution for motor drivers by providing a motor driver development platform for electrically driven auxiliaries in the automotive.

• Motor drivers for electrically driven auxiliaries in the automotive
  Support for prototyping, simulation, and comprehensive services for control software development and technical support
• Next-generation coreless motor
  Compared to conventional products, coreless motors generate more torque, make less noise, and are more agile.

IoT solutions

We offer solutions for the design and development of IoT modules that combine sensors, CPUs, communication semiconductors, and AI.

• Simple demonstration system for indoor monitoring
  We have developed a basic demonstration system that detects the target person’s indoor location using a 60 GHz radar, displays it, and sends a status notification to a smartphone.
• Demonstration System for sensor utilization module
  We have developed an original board and software suite for the Leafony platform* 1
