Under the vision of 'Advanced International Logistics,' Shippio Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takanori Sato; hereinafter Shippio), promoting Trade DX, has commenced offering an 'automatic learning function for reading rules' in its trade platform 'Shippio Platform' AI-OCR (reading accuracy: over 97%). This function allows AI to autonomously learn and create specific rules simply by users correcting the AI-OCR's reading results. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately digitize complex trade documents, which have different formats for each company, without significant effort.
## Background and Challenges of the New Feature
In trade operations, various types of documents essential for import/export procedures are exchanged globally. Since 2025, Shippio has provided an AI-OCR function for trade documents, achieving a high accuracy of over 97% for key items. However, a challenge remained: there is no unified format for trade documents, and the methods of description and items vary significantly depending on the Shipper. Therefore, even with high-precision AI, there were limitations in automatically making and digitizing fine practical judgments such as the following:
- **Item selection:** When both 'quantity (PCS)' and 'number of boxes (CTN/carton)' are present, prioritizing the 'number of boxes' column necessary for actual operations for data entry.
- **Information filtering:** When the product name field contains fine symbols like management branch numbers (variant codes), accurately extracting only the pure 'product name.'
Previously, such subtle differences had to be manually corrected by humans. However, with the new 'automatic learning function for reading rules,' AI can now automatically learn and generate its own rules like 'read this document this way,' eliminating the need for manual intervention.
## Features and Overview of the New AI-OCR 'Automatic Learning Function for Reading Rules'
**[Features]**
1. **AI automatically generates 'reading rules' from correction actions**
By simply correcting the reading results on the screen, the AI understands the user's intention ('I want you to read it this way next time') and automatically creates rules for each item.
2. **The more it's used, the less 'manual adjustment' is needed**
Once a rule is learned, it is automatically applied to documents issued by the same Shipper in subsequent instances. The more it is used, the smarter the AI becomes, minimizing the user's effort for verification and correction.
