Generation AI option now available in "Knowledge Collector" that allows you to easily collect knowledge from audio, images, and videos

AI automatically extracts necessary information from voice input report
Generated AI provides accurate advice on reports

Our company has added a large-scale language model (LLM) to further expand data utilization to our original AI product "Knowledge Collector" that allows you to easily collect knowledge using various data input methods such as audio, images, and videos. "Knowledge Collector Generation AI Option" will be released from early April.

Cinnamon AI's "Knowledge Collector" is a knowledge collection tool that combines AI technologies such as AI voice recognition and AI-OCR, and was officially released in November 2023. Many companies have praised its usefulness for its excellent voice recognition accuracy in noisy environments and speedy and detailed knowledge sharing using images and videos.

With the introduction of the generation AI option, further knowledge utilization will be realized, such as more efficient information organization and original suggestion functions.

for example,

・AI automatically extracts necessary information such as ``when'', ``where'', ``what did you do'', ``what happened'', and ``the cause'' from near-miss reports in manufacturing, construction, etc.

・Summary and suggest "meeting purpose", "content", "issues", "next action", and "sales AI advice" from the daily business report

It can be used for risk assessment in the manufacturing and construction industries, as well as for improving the efficiency of sales management.

[Example of voice input for near miss]

On the morning of December 15th, while inspecting machinery on the production line at the Tokai factory, he touched a mechanical part without wearing gloves. As a result, I sustained minor injuries to the fingers of my left hand. This was due to not wearing gloves and not paying sufficient attention to the rotating parts of the machine during work. From now on, I will make sure to wear gloves and be more careful when operating machinery.

[Example of voice input for daily business report]

Today, I had an interview with Mr. Suzuki from Nihon Seizo Co., Ltd.'s Manufacturing Headquarters. They said they wanted a communication tool based on technology-related information, so we asked them about some of the challenges they faced. Because there are few points of contact between each factory line and the manufacturing headquarters, the on-site workers may not know when to consult with the headquarters, or what they should consult with, or where they should consult. They said that they had to work very hard and spend a lot of time investigating the matter on their own, putting a burden on the staff. This often results in people at the site losing their minds and the project disappearing. As the manufacturing headquarters, I often feel that I should have consulted with them sooner, and I think that what we know about projects that disappeared without being able to consult with the headquarters is just the tip of the iceberg, and that there are actually quite a lot of such cases. , Mr. Suzuki seems to be thinking.

participant– Mr. Suzuki (Nippon Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Manufacturing Headquarters)
Purpose of the meeting– Confirmation of requests for communication tools based on technology-related information
Meeting content– Sharing of issues due to lack of contact between on-site and manufacturing headquarters
assignment– Because there are few points of contact between each factory line and the manufacturing headquarters, it is difficult for the on-site staff to know when to consult, the content of the consultation, and who to consult with. – On-site staff have to investigate on their own, which is time-consuming and burdensome, leading to projects disappearing.
next action– Consider specific measures to improve communication between the workplace and the manufacturing headquarters – Establish a system and person in charge that makes it easy for the workplace to consult – Introduce a reporting system to understand on-site issues and consultation details
AI advice– Consider establishing a regular meeting and reporting system to facilitate communication between the workplace and manufacturing headquarters. – By creating an environment where it is easy to consult with the on-site staff, projects can be prevented from disappearing.

"Knowledge Collector" supports a wide range of input methods, including text input using voice recognition, automatic text extraction using AI-OCR from photographic images such as handwritten and printed letters, video evidence, and free text.

■Development background: Utilize AI to minimize the burden of knowledge collection and maximize its utilization

The knowledge accumulated by Japanese companies, many of which have been around for 100 years, is vast. On the other hand, the efficient inheritance and utilization of knowledge can be said to be an urgent task for many companies due to factors such as aging of workers, declining population, and delays in introducing DX. In addition, knowledge accumulation and reporting methods often vary depending on job type, department, and team, and technology and know-how become individualized, making it difficult to absorb valuable knowledge. Furthermore, as a barrier to companies collecting knowledge, the act of "writing and reporting" itself, whether by handwriting or typing on a keyboard, is a burden on the person in charge, and because of this, there are cases in which knowledge cannot be collected effectively.

In order to solve these issues, Cinnamon AI has developed "Knowledge Collector" that allows users to easily input information using various methods. Recording voice "on the spot" when memories are vivid can not only improve the quantity and quality of information, but also reduce the input burden compared to normal text input. In addition, the introduction of AI products will eliminate paper records, which are often seen in labor-intensive industries, and will lead to paperlessness and digitization.
