We find the friction between cutting-edge technology and the gritty realities of the factory floor. Then we build the software that will drive the next hundred years.
BUSINESS
We go deep into each company's friction and build custom implementations. The know-how we gain there grows into products that the next site can use.
Understanding the friction on the floor in detail and carefully implementing state-of-the-art AI, one system at a time. This is our core business.
01 / GENERATIVE AI
We customize LLMs to the language of manufacturing and build site-specific AI trained on equipment programs and veteran know-how, supporting equipment design, troubleshooting and skill transfer.
See case studies02 / PHYSICAL AI
We connect directly with OT equipment such as PLCs and industrial robots to deliver autonomous control, maintenance and quality inspection, designed around the constraints of the site.
See case studiesWe turn the understanding gained in custom projects into software that many more sites can use, refined and evolved together with the people on the floor.
AI LADDER READER
Load a PLC ladder program and get plain-language explanations, flowcharts and conversational search. Reuse-based design and troubleshooting stop depending on one person's experience.
AI KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
Structures the tacit knowledge of the floor from conversations with an interview AI, work videos and existing documents, building a knowledge base newcomers can reach when they need it.
PHYSICAL AI PLATFORM
Connect robots and cameras to record data, let AI evaluate and tag it, and review and correct the results yourself — all on one screen. A service that lets the people on the floor run PDCA cycles and bring physical AI development in-house.
WHAT AIRION TAKES ON
We bring the progress of AI and the cloud into the physical world of equipment, control, safety and human judgment. Airion understands both IT and OT, and builds all the way to solutions that keep being used on the floor.
OUR WORK
CASE / 01Yazaki Corporation
Airion provides Yazaki with Physical AI Canvas, its no-code platform for physical AI development. Airion engineers support the initial phase, with the goal of shop-floor staff running the full cycle from data collection to model validation and robot deployment themselves.

We develop foundation models specialized for industry and manufacturing while learning on real machines and sharing with the industry. Never leaving technology outside the factory floor is what R&D means at Airion.
Selected for GENIAC, a Japan-made foundation model development project led by METI and NEDO. We are developing an LLM foundation model specialized for industry and manufacturing.
We regularly host study sessions where participants learn physical AI on real robots and sensors, growing a technical community that opens up IT × OT knowledge.
RECRUITMENT
Software alone does not move the world. We are looking for people who will go into the most complex sites and build the next standard.
Our business, our team, the work of our members and the hiring process: everything you need to know about working at Airion.
