AIONA builds REVY, an AI agent that uses technical documents and tacit design knowledge to help manufacturing companies automate design and make faster, higher-quality decisions.
Japanese manufacturers face labor shortages and the retirement of veteran engineers, while tacit design knowledge remains trapped in personal memory and technical documents, contributing to defects and longer development cycles. The latest round, written by the company as “総額1.4億円” and led by ON&BOARD, is intended to strengthen the development team and accelerate REVY's rollout so that this disappearing know-how can become reusable organizational design capability.
