As part of this, in June 2025, we began offering an inventory optimization AI agent function (beta version). This new function uses AI to learn the usage trends and time series patterns of inventory measured by IoT weighing scales, and automatically detects the risk of stockouts and the possibility of inventory compression. It supports inventory optimization by continuously providing timely “proactive proposals” to the field. The official release is scheduled for fall 2025, and will present a new form of on-site judgment supported by data and AI rather than “intuition and experience” to address the issues of labor shortages, personalization, and inventory loss in the manufacturing industry.<\/p>

Smart Mat Cloud will continue to evolve as a solution that uses AI and IoT to capture even “changes invisible to humans” and expand people’s judgment and response capabilities.<\/p>
