Announcement of the DX and AX Service Platform
OPTiM AIR (OPTiM AI IoT Robotics Platform)

Delivering High-Quality, Safe, and Reliable AI, IoT, and Physical AI Services
More Timely Than Ever

OPTiM Corporation (hereinafter OPTiM) announces the launch of its DX and AX service platform, OPTiM AIR (OPTiM AI IoT Robotics Platform).
OPTiM AIR incorporates the common functions required for OPTiM’s DX and AX service development. This enables the rapid delivery of high-quality, safe, and reliable AI, IoT, and Physical AI services, while simultaneously reducing development costs and facilitating seamless cross-selling of OPTiM’s service offerings.
OPTiM AIR further evolves OPTiM Cloud IoT OS, which has been developed over many years as an IoT platform, and has been rebranded to embody OPTiM’s corporate philosophy of “We make the net as simple as breathing.”

■Background: From OPTiM Cloud IoT OS to OPTiM AIR

OPTiM began providing OPTiM Cloud IoT OS in 2016.
To help realize the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the company has expanded its deployment of DX services centered on IoT utilization across industries such as agriculture, healthcare, and construction.
Leveraging the high-throughput time-series data management platform provided by OPTiM Cloud IoT OS, data has been transmitted in real time from IoT devices and drones to enable remote reconstruction and visualization of on-site conditions, monitoring of device operations, and error detection. In addition, OPTiM has developed AI for controlling drones and other robots used in the field, as well as for analyzing their data. In the medical field, the platform has supported compliance with the Three Ministries, Two Guidelines^※1 by incorporating advanced security features such as multi-factor authentication and audit logging.
OPTiM has also deployed DX services for office DX and communication DX using OPTiM Cloud IoT OS. For large enterprises, enhanced security features and value-added functions—such as single sign-on integration with internal ID systems—have been provided to ensure secure and low-maintenance operation. By combining third-party service integration functions with customer and content management features of OPTiM Digital Experience, OPTiM has also delivered a platform service to support the development and delivery of DX services.
In addition, OPTiM offers Japan’s smart city OS solution, OPTiM City OS, as well as the Super App Platform for Local Governments.

OPTiM Cloud IoT OS was launched with four core concepts: openness, abstraction, intuitive usability, and shifting from building to using. Ten years after its release, IoT technologies have become universal—shifting from tools intentionally used to technologies naturally embedded in daily operations.
As OPTiM has expanded numerous DX services based on OPTiM Cloud IoT OS, the role expected of the platform has also evolved, especially with the growing use of AI and Robotics beyond IoT alone.

Against this backdrop, OPTiM has decided to rebrand OPTiM Cloud IoT OS as OPTiM AIR, a DX/AX service platform that embodies the corporate philosophy of “We make the net as simple as breathing.” and integrates AI, IoT, Robotics, and the essential functions required for DX.
