Invisible AI, a company building state-of-the-art AI solutions for manufacturing, today announced a partnership with Toyota Motor North America.

AUSTIN, TEXAS – MAY 4TH, 2022 – Invisible AI, a company building state-of-the-art AI solutions for manufacturing, today announced a partnership with Toyota Motor North America (TMNA), as the company integrates Invisible AI’s innovative computer vision platform across its 14 North American manufacturing operations.

Toyota Indiana is the first TMNA manufacturing site to implement Invisible AI technology at scale with an initial deployment of 500 edge AI devices in 2022. The partnership supports Toyota’s core philosophy of continuous improvement for safety, quality, and operational efficiencies. Invisible AI technology helps Toyota better understand manual assembly operations, which accounts for a majority of the work performed in manufacturing.

Invisible AI is building a scalable computer vision platform for manufacturing — and its mission is to be the eyes of the intelligent factory. Invisible AI’s technology uses edge AI devices with a built in NVIDIA Jetson module, 1TB of storage and a high-resolution 3D camera to track all floor activity – without using the cloud or any bandwidth. This self-contained AI device processes body motion data to identify potential for high-stress injuries and prevent simple defects in real-time, which generates millions in savings for customers. The software is entirely anonymized and privacy-centric by design and can be deployed in 60 seconds without any coding or engineering expertise, allowing customers to scale to thousands of cameras with ease. As an NVIDIA Inception and Metropolis partner, Invisible AI continues to push the boundaries of computer vision.

“Invisible AI has been a great partner for Toyota as we work toward building the manufacturing processes of the future,” said Jihad Abdul-Rahiim, an advanced technology engineer at Toyota. “Invisible AI is not only helping us find opportunities for improvement on the assembly lines, but we’re also constantly finding new use cases for their technology such as ergonomics analysis to proactively prevent injuries.”

“We are thrilled to expand our work with Toyota Motor North America, a global leader in manufacturing and innovation,” said Eric Danziger, CEO, Invisible AI. “We are building computer vision systems that learn continuously, unsupervised, and generate real business value for customers on day one.”

Invisible AI and Toyota’s Manufacturing Project Innovation Center have worked in collaboration for two years to reach this important milestone for providing the maximum return on investment possible.

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.
