EDTECH: LEVERAGING AI-POWERED TECHNOLOGIES TO TRANSFORM THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
1. Technology overview
Phoxter Corporation, founded in 2017 and based in Toyonaka, Osaka, provides image processing and automated transport solutions for manufacturing and logistics, from system design through construction. Its customer logos include Suntory, Toray, Nippon Electric Glass, Toyota Boshoku and Tokai Rika.
On the inspection side, StellaController 2.0 is a hybrid system combining AI with rule-based image processing, compatible with 3D, area and line cameras. StellaDeepVision Studio is an AI learning platform for good-part learning, announced on 5 October 2026. The company also sells AMRs, shuttles and sorters for warehouse and factory logistics.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Hybrid inspection: StellaController 2.0 combines AI and rule-based image processing.
- Good-part learning: StellaDeepVision Studio trains AI models from normal products.
- Camera flexibility: compatible with 3D, area and line cameras.
- Design to construction: system design, build and commissioning handled by Phoxter.
- Transport robots: AMRs, shuttles and sorters for factory and warehouse logistics.
3. Potential application
Appearance inspection of glass, plastic and automotive parts at Japanese-owned plants in Vietnam. Good-part learning inspection where defect samples are rare. Combined inspection and AMR transport lines in new factories.
4. Benefits
Inspection is positioned as needing no specialised expertise, with high accuracy and low development effort. Hybrid AI plus rule-based processing covers both fuzzy and measurable defects. Good-part learning avoids collecting defect samples. One supplier covers inspection and in-plant transport.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Japanese manufacturers are combining AI with conventional image processing to inspect parts where pure rule-based methods fail. Factory inspection and internal logistics are increasingly automated together. Japanese-owned plants in Vietnam are natural adopters of these systems.
