Cinnamon Co., Ltd. (Representative Director, President and CEO: Mirai Hirano, hereinafter referred to as Cinnamon AI), which provides artificial intelligence (hereinafter referred to as "AI") solutions for Japan's leading large companies, is a leading domestic company in electronic components and in-vehicle information equipment, Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. Co., Ltd. (Representative Director, President, Executive Officer and CEO: Toshihiro Kuriyama, hereinafter referred to as Alps Alpine) will use AI-OCR "Flax Scanner" to digitalize various business documents and improve business efficiency. We have started offering.

Alps Alpine continues to contribute to people's lives through electronics and communication, with our electronic components business and in-vehicle information equipment business at our core, and we aim to become a sustainable "value-creating corporate group." At Alps Alpine, we create and process large amounts of various documents during the development, manufacturing, sales, and management processes of electronic components and in-vehicle information devices. The documents we handle are created for various purposes and in different formats, and managing and referencing these documents requires a lot of manpower. These documents include image data scanned from paper documents and design drawings unique to manufacturers, and the format of the documents is not fixed, and the wide variety of details makes document management and management difficult. Searching was difficult, which was an issue in improving work efficiency.

The AI-OCR "Flax Scanner" provided by Cinnamon is able to read documents with high precision even in non-fixed formats, which conventional OCR systems could not handle. In addition, by providing not only simple AI-OCR but also table reading, search functions, and difference checking functions, it is possible to connect with subsequent operations and comprehensively improve the efficiency of operations related to various documents. We will promote it.

Going forward, Alps Alpine and Cinnamon will promote the application of AI-OCR "Flax Scanner" to maximize the effects of improving operational efficiency.
