Akihisa Yokoo

I work at the intersection of startup innovation and real-world manufacturing deployment.With a background in production engineering in the automotive industry in Japan and India.I have led factory improvement initiatives, new equipment implementation, new model launches, and engineering capability development across manufacturing sites.Today, my focus is on exploring emerging technologies from startups and driving practical implementation within manufacturing environments. I work closely with founders and engineers to validate solutions through PoCs and translate promising technologies into scalable factory applications.My areas of interest include advanced inspection systems, smart factory technologies, robotics and task automation, and applied AI for operational optimization.I am particularly interested in technologies that improve manufacturing intelligence, quality, productivity, and scalability.If you are building industrial or AI-driven solutions and are looking to validate them in real production environments, I would be glad to connect.
