EIZO Corporation will begin selling “mitococa Edge,” an AI edge computer that implements an image recognition AI solution on its edge devices to instantly detect and notify of abnormalities such as congestion, intrusion, falls, and lingering from surveillance camera footage, starting May 21, 2026. This product was co-developed with West Japan Railway Company (hereinafter referred to as JR West), combining the design know-how of both companies.
“mitococa Edge” is an edge computer that completes AI analysis at the site where surveillance cameras are installed, and immediately detects and notifies of anomalies such as congestion, intrusion, falls, and stagnation. It can analyze video from up to 5 cameras simultaneously, and settings and confirmation can be easily done from a web browser.
The application utilizes “mitococa AI,” an AI image detection technology honed by JR West in railway operations, to accurately identify people and specific objects from camera footage. The two companies have worked together to rebuild the AI execution environment, optimize the GPU, and improve heat dissipation design, resulting in approximately a five-fold increase in AI processing speed compared to the previous configuration where mitococa AI ran on IP cameras.

mitococa Edge can be flexibly customized to suit the market in which it is implemented. It can be used in a variety of markets, not only the railway market, but also in medical settings, manufacturing, and social infrastructure projects such as highways and railways, contributing to solving labor shortages in video surveillance, achieving workplace safety, and improving productivity.
Going forward, we will continue to collaborate with JR西日本 to expand the operating temperature range and enable the installation of mitococa Edge in various environments, as well as to integrate with external systems and enhance and improve the functionality of AI applications, thereby contributing to solving social issues.
Since 2020, our company has been developing “EVS (エイゾー Visual Systems),” a system that integrates a range of products responsible for video shooting, distribution, recording, and display, enabling the effective use of video. Our “Co-creation AI Edge Computer,” which utilizes AI applications from partner companies on our edge devices, is a new evolution of EVS, supported by the hardware and software design technologies that we have cultivated over many years.
Backed by a system that handles everything from product development to production and sales, our company has accumulated know-how to maximize the application performance of our partner companies, which forms the foundation for providing added value through co-creation. We will continue to promote co-creation with diverse partner companies and open up new possibilities for the use of video. In addition, by combining our existing product group that makes up EVS with the “Co-creation AI Edge Computer” and packaging them according to the user’s purpose, we will build a system that allows users to easily and quickly implement the system.
