Mission
Social implementation of "Video Edge AI"
Information available from video is infinite.
The sense of sight (analogically a "camera" in case of electronics) can typically provide the highest information volume out of the five senses ("sensors"). Video from cameras, after being analyzed by AI, can be used for various purposes, including security, business, and labor saving. EDGEMATRIX provides video AI-focused services and solutions. Answer lies in "Edge" (on site).
Answer lies in "Edge" (on site).
In many cases, challenges and issues are found at the Edge (on site). EDGEMATRIX ensures understanding of varied environment of installation sites and requirements of individual customers by visiting sites to detect and resolve issues, which might not be obvious from viewing over the cloud only. Edge processing has the following merits:
Reduced communication cost by transfer of small data (analytical result only) after analysis at the Edge, when compared to video analysis in the cloud
Prevention from decrease in recognition rate by AI analysis of low compression video (clear-cut image), when compared to use of wirelessly transferred video
Excellent anti-disaster performance by Edge distributed processing, when compared to concentrated processing in the cloud (at one location)
Privacy protection by transfer of post-analysis data only from the Edge without the need of sending video, which contains images of people, to the cloud
Real-time processing of video from quantities of cameras in Smart City
Real-time processing at the Edge is not impacted by transmission delay or communication failure. It helps secure promptness of equipment control and alarm issuing, which needs real-time performance, even upon abnormality.
Safe, secured society
EDGEMATRIX makes use of Video Edge AI technology to contribute to realization of safe, secured society.

Careers
We are looking for members who will challenge the AI business that will change the world.
In the era of 5G, which has the features of high speed, large capacity, low latency, and simultaneous multiple connections, many apps such as IoT that process high-definition video such as 4k8K in real time will begin to appear.
Since the amount of data in these apps is enormous, AI processing at the data generation site (Edge) and distributed processing by peer-to-peer (P2P) are required from the viewpoint of network utilization efficiency.
EDGEMATRIX started its business in July 2019 as a start-up that sells and provides Edge AI devices for this next-generation environment, remote management of Edge AI, and sales and distribution services for AI apps.
We are looking for members who will challenge the AI business of the 5G era that will change the world.
We are not accepting applications at this time.
