Join the Cutting-Edge Revolution of AI in Business

In an era where artificial intelligence is becoming integral to business operations, Layers Consulting, based in Tokyo, has announced an online seminar titled "The Next Frontier of AI Implementation: Edge AI". Scheduled for July 7, 2026, this event promises to shed light on the promising advancements in Edge AI and how Japanese companies can leverage this technology to transform their business strategies.

As businesses increasingly rely on AI, the focus is shifting toward Edge AI—a technology that enables real-time data processing at the source, catering to operational needs without dependency on cloud services. This is especially relevant for Japan, where companies can harness their robust manufacturing expertise to reenter the global market through innovative business models enhanced by Edge AI.

Key Speakers from Aizip Inc.

The seminar will feature notable speakers like Yan Sun, co-founder and CEO of Aizip Inc., and Jinho Shin, the company’s AI development lead. Aizip Inc. has made headlines by developing an Edge AI application that allows for real-time fish tail counting on smartphones—a project recognized with the CES 2025 Innovation Award in the Food & AgTech category, resulting from a collaboration with SoftBank. The importance of such solutions lies in their ability to handle complex AI tasks directly on-site, making businesses more agile and responsive.

Yan Sun will present insights on the current influence and future potential of Edge AI, discussing global trends and the business implications of this transformative technology. With a solid academic background, including a Ph.D. from Stanford University, Sun’s expertise is expected to provide valuable perspectives on efficiently implementing Edge AI.

Exploring Use Cases and Practical Steps

Jinho Shin will elaborate on practical use cases of Edge AI and outline the initial steps that businesses can take toward implementation. This segment will focus on the specific characteristics and capabilities of Edge AI, including the technical challenges faced during deployment and methods of overcoming these hurdles.

Participants can expect a detailed analysis of how Edge AI can redefine business opportunities and elevate the competitive edge of Japanese companies by enhancing their on-site operational capabilities.

Furthermore, Layers Consulting’s own CEO, Naoshi Sugino, will provide an overview of the necessity for an overarching strategic framework for implementing AI across entire organizations.
