TOKYO - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation announced a definitive agreement to establish a joint venture focused on vision sensor solutions for manufacturing automation, according to a press release statement.
The joint venture, Advanced Vision Solutions Co., Ltd., is scheduled to begin operations in October 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. The partnership combines Sony’s image sensors and edge AI technologies with Mitsubishi Electric’s factory automation control systems expertise.
The companies plan to develop vision sensor solutions that enable AI-based analysis of visual data directly on image sensors. The technology is designed to capture conditions and changes at manufacturing sites, supporting automation of manufacturing equipment and operations.
The solutions aim to capture information about manufacturing site conditions, product quality, equipment operations, and maintenance that the companies describe as previously difficult to understand and utilize. The technology extracts information from acquired data to enable decision-making and control with reduced manual intervention.
The joint venture represents a collaboration between Mitsubishi Electric’s factory automation experience and Sony’s semiconductor imaging capabilities to address automation challenges in manufacturing operations.
