Atom Engineering's Products Recognized for Digitalization and AI Subsidies to Boost Business Efficiency

Introduction

Atom Engineering, based in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, recently announced that three of its innovative products have been officially recognized as eligible IT tools under the "Digitalization and AI Adoption Subsidy 2026" program. This acknowledgment will significantly assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in optimizing their operational efficiency through advanced technology.

What is the Digitalization and AI Adoption Subsidy?

The Digitalization and AI Adoption Subsidy, formerly known as the IT Adoption Subsidy, is a financial aid initiative aimed at enhancing productivity for small businesses and micro-enterprises. This subsidy supports the introduction of IT tools designed to streamline operations, boost digital transformation (DX), and improve overall workplace efficiency. By integrating Atom Engineering's certified systems, businesses can expect to considerably reduce their implementation costs, thereby driving productivity increases and advancing their digital strategies.

Certified IT Tools

Atom Engineering is proud to have the following three products recognized under the subsidy program:
1. Cloud-based Inventory Management System "@wms"
2. Rental Management System "Rental Plus"
3. Voice Sorting System "PASSSORT"

These systems empower businesses to adopt technology effectively and cost-efficiently. By utilizing these tools, companies can take advantage of a subsidy that covers 50% of the service costs, which can range from 50,000 to under 1.5 million yen, making technology adoption more accessible.

@wms – Cloud Inventory Management System

The @wms system allows businesses to centrally manage incoming, outgoing, and current stock levels in the warehouse and back-office environments through a cloud-based interface. By using handheld terminals or Android devices for inspections, the system minimizes shipping errors that typically arise in logistics environments. Accurate tracking of actual inventory levels, rather than just theoretical records, helps eliminate discrepancies and enhances quality in logistics operations.

Rental Plus – Rental Management System

The Rental Plus system streamlines the management of rental items, demonstration goods, and sample products. It allows users to track real-time inventory and availability through an integrated calendar, improving the accuracy and efficiency of lending and returning processes with easy barcode-based inspections.

PASSSORT – Voice Sorting System

PASSSORT enhances the sorting and shipping processes after items are picked. It enables sorting based on audio instructions through a dedicated device, allowing workers to perform tasks without needing to constantly check screens. This feature reduces downtime and increases productivity even when all items are not available at the start of operations.
