Stockmark and LIGHTz have teamed up to tackle one of the biggest challenges in Japanese manufacturing: capturing and using the tacit knowledge of skilled engineers. Stockmark brings its domestic generative AI platform and services. LIGHTz contributes its Pan-Knowledge® technology, which visualizes expert thinking and turns it into AI-readable data. Together they aim to improve technology marketing and help companies explore new applications for their technologies.
Skills transfer has become a serious issue in manufacturing. Surveys show most companies see it as important but only around 40 percent think it is going well. About 80 percent worry about losing knowledge in the future. At the same time, technology marketing is becoming more critical. Matching a company’s technical strengths to new markets relies heavily on expert judgment. But integrating internal documents and external market data is hard, and the decision logic of veterans often stays hidden, slowing innovation and making it hard to introduce AI.
The partnership combines LIGHTz’s visualization of expert thought processes with Stockmark’s AI and data structuring tech. The goal is to turn tacit knowledge into AI-ready organizational assets, enabling better decision-making across R&D, marketing, sales, and business planning.

They plan to do this in several ways. First, consultants will redesign business processes to connect technology with markets. Second, internal documents and drawings will be structured using SAT and a vision-language model, linked with 10 years of external market data. Third, veteran decision-making logic will be captured in Brain Models® to teach AI how to identify applications. Fourth, all this will feed into AI Agents specialized in technology marketing, allowing departments to discover new applications through dialogue with AI. Fifth, daily work knowledge will be collected by LIGHTz’s Re:Quid engine and converted into shared organizational knowledge. Finally, core system development will be supported in-house and in secure private cloud environments.
The partnership is about turning expert intuition into actionable AI tools, helping manufacturers explore applications faster and make smarter business decisions.
