SHIN-JIGEN Updates Corporate Message, Enters 5th Year Advocating "Technologization of Tacit Knowledge" to Accelerate Social Implementation of Technology

SHIN-JIGEN Inc. (Nara City, Nara Prefecture; Representative Director and CEO: Tamio Okamoto; hereinafter "SHIN-JIGEN"), which supports breakthroughs with "robotics and edge AI"*1, has updated its corporate message.

In May 2026, SHIN-JIGEN enters its fifth year since its founding. During this period, the scope of our robotics and edge AI implementation has expanded, and since January 2026, our business domain has also grown under the banner of "M&A for Innovation." In light of this business expansion, we have re-organized our initiatives and clarified our direction as a company that creates innovation through "Technologization of Tacit Knowledge." "Technologization of Tacit Knowledge" represents SHIN-JIGEN's philosophy of transforming the knowledge, judgments, and ingenuity cultivated by people on-site into value through technology and implementing it in society.

In recent years, attention to related fields such as physical AI has increased, and global competition in this area is intensifying. Technologies utilizing robotics and AI are expected to progress from the conceptual and research stages to the implementation stage in actual workplaces and businesses. SHIN-JIGEN will also accelerate its efforts towards the social implementation of AI and robots utilizing on-site learning, based on the robotics and AI knowledge it has cultivated to date.

SHIN-JIGEN will continue to promote the social implementation of new businesses and values utilizing robotics and edge AI, under the theme of "Future Implementation."

*1: Edge AI... A technology that processes information using AI not on the cloud, but on the network's edge (terminals and devices). It offers significant advantages in terms of real-time performance, security, and communication costs, and is attracting attention as a "technology that changes the concept of infrastructure" because it can implement the power of AI in a way that is more closely aligned with social activities and daily life.
