Quickman Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City; CEO: Takuya Yamamoto) has officially launched full-scale research and development of AI-powered data recovery technology for its service, "Data Recovery Quickman."
With the widespread adoption of SSDs, RAID, NAS, and smartphones, data recovery now demands higher analytical capabilities than ever before. To meet this challenge, the company is integrating AI-based analytical support into its long-established data recovery expertise to deliver faster and more advanced recovery services.
AI is strictly used as an analytical support tool, with final diagnosis and recovery decisions made by experienced data recovery engineers.
Background of AI Integration
Storage technologies have rapidly evolved in recent years, with file systems, RAID configurations, and SSD control mechanisms becoming increasingly complex.
Additionally, data structures for videos, photos, and Office files have become more sophisticated, requiring advanced analysis in cases of corruption.
In response, Quickman positions AI as an "analytical partner" to support data recovery engineers, aiming to improve analysis efficiency and establish new diagnostic methodologies.
By combining human expertise with AI's analytical power, the company aims to recover more of its customers' valuable data.
AI-Driven Initiatives
Currently, the company is advancing R&D in the following areas using AI:
- File system analysis support
- RAID algorithm analysis support
- Encryption structure analysis support
- Repair assistance for corrupted video files
- JPEG image repair support
- Microsoft Office file repair support
- SQLite database repair support
- HDD firmware analysis support
- NAND flash memory analysis support
AI rapidly analyzes vast datasets and structural information, helping engineers identify subtle anomalies or features that might otherwise take significant time to detect.
Target Technologies Enabled by AI
Going forward, the company aims to achieve the following advanced analytical capabilities through further AI integration:
- Support for unknown file system analysis
- Support for unknown RAID algorithm analysis
- Structural repair support for corrupted video, image, and Office files
- Automated analysis of hexadecimal (Hex) data
- Automatic anomaly detection from Hex data
- Visualization of analysis results to streamline recovery operations
By leveraging AI, the company aims to streamline time-consuming analysis processes, allowing engineers to focus on higher-level decision-making and recovery tasks.
Achievements to Date
Through AI-powered R&D, the company has already achieved the following results:
- Support for repairing corrupted JPEG image data
- RAID algorithm analysis support
- Diagnostic support for undetectable storage due to file system damage
The company will continue expanding supported media types and file formats to establish even more advanced recovery technologies.
Benefits for Customers
The integration of AI-assisted analysis is expected to provide customers with the following benefits:
- Improved ability to handle previously difficult-to-recover failures
- Higher recovery success rates due to improved analysis accuracy
- Faster response times through reduced analysis duration
- High-quality data recovery services incorporating the latest technologies
These AI-assisted analysis features will be provided as part of the standard data recovery service at no additional cost to customers.
Information Management in AI Utilization
Given that data recovery involves handling customers' sensitive information, information security is one of the company's top priorities.
Quickman has established and implemented an "AI Usage Regulation Policy" to ensure proper protection of customer data when using AI for analytical support.
The policy strictly enforces the following:
- No input of personal or confidential customer data into generative AI systems
- Complete anonymization and generalization of any data input into AI
- Mandatory verification and confirmation of AI outputs by engineers
- Limited and carefully managed selection of generative AI services
These measures are designed to prevent data leaks and ensure service quality.
AI is used solely as a tool to support engineers' judgment, not as a means to freely share customer data.
Quickman is committed to delivering secure data recovery services that balance AI efficiency with robust information security.
