SiMa.ai (headquartered in San Jose, California), a pioneer in Physical AI solutions, announced today a strategic partnership with FUJISOFT Incorporated (hereinafter "FUJISOFT"), a leading system integrator (SI) in Japan's embedded industry, to deliver next-generation AI capabilities directly to the edge environments of Japanese companies. The purpose of this partnership is to promote the adoption of Physical AI solutions by key industries and to assist companies in bringing intelligent edge applications to market more efficiently. As part of these efforts, FUJISOFT will showcase two generative AI demonstrations utilizing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) at the "Embedded & Edge Computing Expo" (to be held from April 8 to 10, 2026) in Japan.
Through this partnership, FUJISOFT will support customers in evaluating and adopting Physical AI applications by developing proof-of-concept (PoC) solutions based on SiMa.ai's Modalix architecture and leveraging these demonstrations. Furthermore, by providing hardware and software development support to companies aiming to introduce AI-equipped products, the partnership will boost development across target end-markets throughout Japan.
Harry Kroeger, Chief Revenue Officer and President of Automotive Business at SiMa.ai, stated: "Physical AI is transforming a wide range of industries. With this partnership, FUJISOFT's expertise in the Japanese market and their network will enable us to help customers not only deploy intelligent edge systems but also utilize them effectively. Based on our cooperation, we will expand our business scale in Japan by turning innovation into results in a shorter timeframe."
This partnership leverages FUJISOFT's advanced expertise in system integration and their long-standing customer network. It will help mitigate the complexities for companies that lack abundant in-house AI engineering resources when adopting Physical AI. Prior to the partnership, FUJISOFT evaluated multiple AI platforms before selecting SiMa.ai's architecture. This underscores the superior performance and scalability of SiMa.ai's platform for Physical AI applications, while further strengthening SiMa.ai's presence in the growing Physical AI market in Japan.
