Invisible AI is announcing a major milestone today - they have gone from creating the company to creating value on the manufacturing floor in just one year. At a Toyota event on January 17th, 2020, the largest automotive manufacturer in the world showed off Invisible AI's ground-breaking technology.

Announcing milestone event with Toyota North America

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – JANUARY 28TH, 2020 – At a Toyota Motor North America event on January 17th, 2020, Invisible AI showcased its latest efforts in developing a visual intelligence platform to improve manufacturing processes. Invisible AI’s groundbreaking technology is now creating true value on the manufacturing floor for the largest automaker in the world, and was showcased as one of four technologies that are augmenting the workforce at Toyota’s event. Alongside Invisible AI were Elementary Robotics, Microsoft HoloLens, and Ready Robotics.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as a technology that is positively augmenting the workforce and are excited about the many opportunities to leverage visual intelligence to create real value for manufacturers,” said Eric Danziger, CEO of Invisible AI. “The automotive industry shows significant promise for using Invisible AI’s visual intelligence platform at scale to improve quality in manufacturing assembly lines while accentuating human craftsmanship.”


At the core, the Invisible AI computer vision platform measures how assembly is completed, tracking body posture and movement, to support line operators in real time so they can constantly improve their manufacturing processes and innovate on the factory floor. Through Invisible AI technology, operators get the assistance they need to make every part the correct way, every time.

By leveraging existing chipsets, Invisible AI is able to make powerful, low-bandwidth camera systems for its platform that run machine-learning models 100x smaller than existing state-of-the-art solutions. This no-code computer vision platform uses a simple web dashboard that makes the technology usable by a broad audience. In addition, as manufacturing processes improve and new parts or processes are implemented, Invisible AI’s technology digitally updates instruction sheets so unique tribal knowledge is saved.

“Invisible AI’s computer vision platform gets line operators involved with digital innovation to directly increase their productivity and safety, as well as the quality of goods they are manufacturing,” said Prateek Sachdeva, COO of Invisible AI.

Invisible AI is augmenting the workforce by helping operators increase their productivity across manufacturing industry sectors, from automotive to consumer goods to heavy equipment.

Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) is partnering with Invisible AI to use artificial intelligence to help it make more intelligent decisions in its factories regarding quality, safety and productivity.
The automaker and Austin, Texas-based startup said Wednesday Invisible AI's computer vision platform will be installed in all 14 TMNA manufacturing locations in North America.
The system essentially puts electronic eyes on every corner of the operation with AI technology to analyze any possible issues.

Indeed, Toyota plans to use Invisible AI's system to improve quality, productivity and safety beyond observations by humans or simple security cameras:
“We observe our employees assembling vehicles to identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks in their standardized work,” said Stephen Brennan, Group Vice President, Vehicle Production Engineering & Manufacturing Production Innovation Center in comments emailed to Forbes.com. “Invisible AI systems will help us increase the frequency and accuracy of process reviews as well as reduce the time needed to find inefficiencies across processes, giving us more time to focus on improvement.”

The Invisible AI system to be installed at TMNA plants uses 500 edge AI devices with a built in NVIDIA, Jetson chipset, 1TB of storage and a high-resolution 3D camera to track all floor activity.
That allows us to do a ton of processing at the camera, on the device in real time, all the time,” explained Danziger. “What we have is an AI computer vision model that’s running and that’s constantly processing all the video that’s coming in. What that means is we can give you real time information, real time insights, we can process that data incredibly efficiently. If you want to see a shift report you can see that almost as soon as shift ends.
