Yushiro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director President: Masaki Arisaka) has commenced a joint project with IDATENase Co., Ltd. (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Shunsuke Fukuda) to utilize AI in visualize-able release agents.
Overview of Development
Our company is currently conducting verification to improve production efficiency at die-casting manufacturing sites, based on film distribution data obtained from the "Visilube series" of visualize-able release agents, utilizing AI technology provided by IDATENase Co., Ltd.
The "Visilube series" is characterized by its ability to visually grasp the distribution state of release agent films. Leveraging this characteristic, we are exploring new approaches to support process stabilization and quality improvement.
At sites where operations have traditionally relied heavily on experience and individual judgment, we aim to establish operational methods based on visualized data, thereby laying the foundation for future AI technology applications.
