T-Net Japan Launches AI Visual Inspection System 'Knight Checker'
T-Net Japan, led by CEO Yasuki Kimoto, has launched the 'Knight Checker,' an AI visual inspection system, as of October 1. This innovative solution is part of their digital transformation support tool, 'Naksa Knight,' which aims to alleviate challenges in manufacturing and logistics sectors.
The introduction of Knight Checker promises to tackle traditional obstacles associated with implementing AI visual inspection systems:
1. High Costs
2. Long Lead Times
3. Difficulty in Acquiring Training Data for AI Models
By addressing these key pain points, Knight Checker aims to accelerate the integration of AI visual inspections in operational environments, ultimately contributing to resolving labor shortages. For more details, explore the

Key Features of Knight Checker
1. Cost-Effective Implementation
Traditional AI visual inspection systems often required custom development for each site, leading to increased costs and longer implementation timelines. Knight Checker innovates by offering a packaged solution that includes all essential features for AI visual inspections. This pre-configuration significantly shortens the development period, enabling T-Net Japan to deliver services at a reduced cost and in a shorter timeframe.
2. Rapid Deployment and Easy Data Acquisition through Digital Twin Technology
One of the primary hurdles in deploying AI models is the collection of image data of both good and defective products. Knight Checker leverages 3D CGI technology to create hyper-realistic digital twin data, facilitating the AI model's training process. This allows for a drastic reduction in the duration of the training phase. In addition, the system is capable of reproducing potential defects, such as scratches, chips, and painting errors, thus preparing for inspections of defects that have yet to occur at the site.
3. Flexible System Integration
Knight Checker allows for seamless integration with existing factory equipment, including cameras installed on production lines, sorting devices for classifying products as 'OK' or 'NG,' as well as notification systems using lights, monitors, and email alerts. Furthermore, it interfaces with higher-level systems like MES and ERP, ensuring a smooth installation leveraging current factory resources.
Upcoming Webinar
T-Net Japan will host a free online seminar on October 8, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM via Zoom. Interested participants can register through the
