Tokyo — November 27, 2024 — Asteria Corporation (Head Office: Tokyo, Japan; CEO HIRANO (Pina) Yoichiro; Tokyo Stock Exchange listed, Security Code: 3853, hereinafter “Asteria”) and Tapway (Head Office: Selangor, Malaysia; CEO: Chee How Lim) are pleased to announce the launch of the Japanese version of “Asteria AIoT Suite” (hereinafter “AIoT Suite”), a one-stop, no-code AI/IoT platform for data collection, integration, management and utilization. The platform is now available starting today.
Background
The global AI market is expanding rapidly as businesses accelerate their digitalization and digital transformation efforts. The Japanese AI market, including image recognition, is expected to reach 120 billion yen by FY2025, due to the growing need to utilize large amounts of diverse data collected from cameras, IoT and other sensors. These circumstances have also led to growing demand for building AI inference models and integrating image recognition AI with IoT sensors.
However, a major hurdle to adoption is the need for advanced programming skills to build in-house AI inference models, leverage AI and IoT data, and integrate with diverse systems. To address these challenges, Asteria and Tapway formed a strategic partnership in June 2024 and developed the no-code integrated AI/IoT platform “AIoT Suite”.
Overview
“AIoT Suite” is a no-code integrated AI/IoT platform that provides a one-stop solution for building AI inference models, data collection, integration, management, linking with other systems and operating a variety of devices including IoT. With “AI/IoT Suite”, the development of in-house AI inference models and system integration, which previously had to be outsourced at great expense to external companies with advanced programming skills, can now be achieved without coding.
Furthermore, the “AIoT Suite” enables no-code automation of analog tasks that require manual or visual inspection with IoT sensors and AI cameras, information processing by generative AI, and operation of lights and other control devices. This will empower organizations to automate a wide variety of tasks, thus helping to alleviate labor shortages and improve operational efficiency.
