First Introduction in Automotive R&D Department: "AI IPGenius" Integrates Fragmented Data – Visualizing Development Stagnation Factors by Cross-Analyzing Test, Design, and Defect Information

LegalTech Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tomoyuki Hirai) announced that its "AI IPGenius" has been introduced in the research and development department of an automotive manufacturer (company name undisclosed) and is being utilized for cross-sectional analysis of fragmented data, including test, design, and defect information.

This marks the first introduction of the company's solution into an automotive R&D department. It supports the visualization of stagnation factors in the development process and the advancement of technical review by cross-sectionally analyzing fragmented unstructured data.

This initiative is a pioneering case in the automotive R&D domain, integrating and utilizing fragmented information to identify development bottlenecks.

Background In the R&D sites of automotive manufacturers, data in various formats and granularities are accumulated in design, evaluation, and quality departments. While this information is interrelated, opportunities for integrated reference are limited.

As a result, identifying the root causes of defects and considering design improvements often requires manually cross-referencing information from multiple departments, which tends to be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Furthermore, knowledge from past test results and defect countermeasures is not sufficiently reused, and responses to similar issues often remain individually optimized.

Use Case: AI Cross-Analyzes Research Notes and Meeting Minutes to Extract the Core of Technology In the R&D department of an automotive manufacturer (company name undisclosed), the following materials were input into AI IPGenius for utilization:

- Research notes - Meeting minutes - Prototype logs - Past technical documents

AI IPGenius on IDX cross-sectionally analyzed these to organize:

- Technical improvement points - Potentially novel points - Structural connections with similar themes - Relationships with past verification results

Researchers used the extracted points as a starting point for discussions, theme consideration, and reorganization.

Additionally, the extracted data was linked with MyTokkyo.Ai to establish a system for immediate search of similar technologies.

About AI IPGenius on IDX AI IPGenius is a knowledge base that analyzes unstructured data accumulated within companies and supports the structuring and utilization of technical information.

Key features include:

- Unstructured data analysis Cross-sectional analysis of diverse data formats, including PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoints, image data, and scanned materials. - Technical point extraction Organizes the relationships between technical issues, solutions, and effects, presenting invention candidates and improvement perspectives. - Similar technology search Supports the search for related technologies and past cases based on extracted technical elements. - Shared file analysis Cross-sectionally grasps internal documents such as design data, quality data, and test reports, suppressing the personalization of knowledge.

Utilization Effects By utilizing AI IPGenius, the following effects are expected:

- Reduction in information search time for development theme exploration - Promotion of technical information organization and visualization - Support for invention extraction and patent consideration - Increased efficiency in theme consideration by identifying development stagnation factors - Promotion of knowledge sharing between departments

All of these are positioned as auxiliary to operations and are premised on being used in conjunction with existing processes.

Future Developments Moving forward, with an eye on expanding utilization in the automotive manufacturer's R&D and quality/defect analysis domains, the company will advance the accuracy of unstructured data analysis and the sophistication of knowledge extraction for test, design, and defect information.

This aims to enhance decision-making in both development process improvement and quality enhancement.
