ILU Inc. (Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture), an AI company born from Tokushima University with 24 years of history and part of the Sansan Group, will begin offering its new service "Manufacturing Site Knowledge AI" on July 1st. This service utilizes generative AI to make electronic manuals easier to use, supporting skills transfer and knowledge sharing in the manufacturing industry. In Japan's manufacturing sector, which supports the nation's "monozukuri" (manufacturing prowess), the aging of skilled workers and labor shortages have become significant challenges in recent years, making the transfer of technology and know-how to the next generation a crucial theme.1 As a measure to address these issues, efforts have been made to visualize the knowledge and experience cultivated by skilled workers and to digitize manuals. However, to effectively utilize digitized information in the field, it is essential to create an environment that allows appropriate access to necessary knowledge. Particularly with search systems utilizing generative AI, if the document structure and information relationships are not organized, or if different terms are used at different sites, it may not be possible to search for information appropriately. To address these specific challenges in manufacturing sites, ILU is launching "Manufacturing Site Knowledge AI," a new service that utilizes its proprietary technology (natural language processing technology)3 accumulated over approximately 40 years since its research began at Tokushima University. This technology organizes and structures human knowledge and know-how into a form that computers can understand and utilize. This service structures information such as design documents, procedure manuals, and inspection records written in PDF, Excel, charts, etc., based on their meaning and relationships2, and converts it into data that generative AI can easily use. This provides an environment where all workers can find the necessary information
