Image+AI
These days, Image AI technology fills a critical role in a product development as the key to a new revolution for business and industry.
This will give rise to a wide range of image AI services. Rist aims to provide a much-needed, efficient service, through precise assessment of customer issues and goals, and research and development into the ideal Image AI from countless algorithms.
Rist engineers are the ones to carry it out, with their insights and expertise in a wide range of fields cultivated through Kaggle and other training.
From our founding to the present, we have always deployed AI on actual manufacturing sites. Rist track record in rising to customer expectations is what allows us to develop Image AI that elevates product value many times.
At Rist, we value the principle of making AI to order, and creating the ideal Image AI alongside customers As the trusted customer’s AI consultant, we face down whatever R&D or product development issues may arise.

Advantages of
this service
- 01
World-class, top-level engineers
In the arena of Kaggle (the world’s largest data analysis competition), a large number of data scientists in Kaggle Master or higher positions call Rist home.
- 02
An AI installation record cultivated in manufacturing
At Rist, we have supported AI installation in the visual inspection sector of the manufacturing industry since our founding. We focus on difficult issues that existing rule-based inspection machines and packaged products cannot address, and go beyond PoCs, all the way to on-site implementation.

AI consultants
We operate as on-hand AI consultants to resolve technical issues customers may have struggled with for years on their own, and projects they couldn’t pull off by using made-to-order AI.
Service Plans
We offer plans tailored to customer requirements and issues.
We ask that you choose among four optimized plans.
Example:
- Projects that are hard to set targets for in the initial stage
- Projects where AI craftsmanship is a distinguishing point
LicenseType
This plan costs an AI license fee per device from Rist.
(License fee to be discussed on a per-case basis.)
- Minimization of development period expenses
- Flexible changes to operational details/targets
- Can set the mutual goal of “selling products”
Example:
- Projects where high precision and processing speed are distinguishing points
Precision CommitmentType
This plan’s value is determined based on the degree of achievement of set targets.
- Allows investing in key points of a product
- Minimize cost risks in the event targets are not met
Example:
- Large-scale investment projects
- Projects that rapidly generate a lot of PoCs
Team AssuranceType
This plan assures a team for your company for the mid- to long-term (6+ months).
- Flexible support for monthly task requests (can be changed from project to project)
- Assures access to a top-tier group of AI engineers without the struggle of hiring AI personnel amid a global shortage
Example:
- Projects with clear tasks as of RFP
Individual EstimateType
This plan produces a man-hours estimate based on the RFP.
- Pay only for the required work
- Can request specific targets within a broader AI development
