PROBLEM

Is your AI stuck here?

1The vendor contract or university collaboration has ended — and no one is left to retrain the model
2A model that worked in the lab gets only half its predictions right on site
3Every new part or site means rebuilding the model
4Engineers are labeling data on top of their day jobs

AI often stalls one step short of production.
We close that gap from both sides — data and model.

WHY US

Why teams choose ANOSUPO
for AI model development

Not just the model, not just the data —
we go all the way to the field with you.

1

Data and model handled by one team —
fewer round trips

The people who create the ground-truth data also train the model, so iterations are fast and we add data only for the conditions where accuracy drops.

2

No AI staff in-house?
We join your development team

No in-house AI engineers, or just one? We start from on-site research and work as part of your team.

3

We agree on judgment criteria
with your site up front

We define what counts as a defect at the start and flag ambiguous data early. 100% inspection keeps judgments consistent.

4

Our own PMs and annotators —
ready for urgent validation

With a workforce of 1,500+, there’s no recruiting phase. We can staff short validation projects right away.

On-site inspection
QUESTION 1

Why doesn’t PoC AI
work in the field?

Because lab data and field data are different.

Lighting, camera angles, variation between objects — the data used in a PoC differs from what flows in on site every day more than you’d expect. Before rebuilding anything, we start by measuring under real operating conditions.

  • Keep an evaluation set that matches operationsCollected where the ground truth is certain, and kept fixed.
  • Separate over-detection from missesTotals can match simply because the two errors cancel each other out.
  • Add data only where it’s missingInstead of adding images blindly, we target the conditions where the model fails.
SERVICE

What you can hand over to us

One piece or all of it —
we start with whatever your team is missing.

01.

If your challenge isDefining the goalYour PoC’s purpose and pass line are still vague

Requirements definition

We work out what the site actually needs detected, the judgment criteria, and how accurate is accurate enough.

02.

If your challenge isAn accuracy gapYour PoC model isn’t accurate enough in the field

Additional training & fine-tuning

We take over your existing model and raise its accuracy under real site conditions.

03.

If your challenge isMismatched metricsReported accuracy doesn’t match how it performs on site

Evaluation design & accuracy assessment

We build evaluation data that matches operations and measure over-detection and misses separately.

04.

If your challenge isNot enough handsEngineers label data on the side and can’t keep up

Training data creation

Bounding boxes, segmentation, keypoints and 3D point clouds — delivered with 100% inspection.

05.

If your challenge isOperations & maintenanceNo one can fix the model when parts or sites change

Retraining after go-live

No rebuild needed — we add data only for the missing conditions and retrain.

06.

If your challenge isChoosing a directionYou can’t tell whether your current model or approach is sound

Second opinion

We review your current model and approach with an outside eye.

FLOW

How we work

We start by setting the pass line and measuring your current model.
Not build-and-leave — we keep improving it in operation.

  1. Set requirements

    We agree with the site on what to detect, what accuracy is good enough and the operating conditions, and review your existing model and data.

  2. Build evaluation data

    We create a fixed test set with confirmed ground truth, under the same conditions as operations.

  3. Measure the current model

    We score it by condition — night, rain, new parts — to pinpoint its weaknesses.

  4. Train on what’s missing

    We create data only for the weak conditions, retrain, and re-measure in STEP 3.

  5. Trial on site

    We run it alongside human judgment and confirm it’s right before going live.

  6. Improve in operation

    When parts or sites are added, we add data for those conditions and retrain.

STEP 3 and STEP 4 repeat until the model reaches the pass line

Manufacturing site
QUESTION 2

Can an annotation company really
handle model development?

Because we create the data,
we can see why accuracy drops.

Most accuracy problems start on the data side: inconsistent judgment criteria, evaluation that doesn’t match operations, or not knowing which conditions are missing. A team with 1,000+ training-data projects finds the cause and carries on through training and evaluation.

  • One point of contact for data and modelNo slow back-and-forth or gaps in responsibility from splitting vendors.
  • Annotation-only work, as alwaysStart with data creation and expand to model development when you need it.

CASE STUDY

AI model development case study

Manufacturing line
Major Japanese shipbuilderShipbuilding & heavy industrySince Nov 2026

Detecting the start and end of work processes
from shipyard camera footage

  • Handled everything from model strategy to training data creation and evaluation
  • Designed to detect with object detection first, supplementing hard cases with positional information
  • Plan to expand the target processes month by month.

PRICE

How pricing works

AI model development is quoted in person-months (team-based).
Team size and duration depend on where you start.

Start with consulting

Requirements definition or a second opinion

We start by clarifying what needs to be detected and whether your current model is enough. Begin small and scale the team as needed.

Start with fine-tuning

Additional training of your existing model

From building evaluation data to additional training and retraining after go-live, we assemble a team of engineers and annotators.

We review your PoC results and data and estimate the team and duration for free.
For annotation-only work, see our annotation pricing.

Annotation services

We continue to provide training data creation (annotation) — the foundation of model development. Data-only projects are welcome.

MESSAGE

Taking AI from the lab to the field.

The sites most short on people expect the most from AI. Yet AI built with vendors or universities often stalls at the PoC report. What’s missing is less the technology itself than someone to keep creating data, measuring and retraining under real site conditions.

As a team with 1,000+ training-data projects, ANOSUPO takes on that role — turning research results into tools used on site every day.

So your engineers can focus on the work that matters.

FAQ

Can you take over a model built by a vendor or a university professor?
Yes. For vendor-built models, the contractual rights need to be clarified first; for university models, the IP terms and the professor’s consent come first. We define everyone’s role together with the original developers before we start.
How many images do we need for training?
It varies greatly with the target and the accuracy you need, so we don’t quote a fixed number. We recommend evaluating as you go and adding data for the conditions that are missing.
Bounding boxes or segmentation — which should we choose?
As a rule, use bounding boxes when you need to count objects, and segmentation when you judge by area or shape. The effort differs greatly, so we decide together based on your goal.
Can we start small — even one person’s worth of work?
Yes. You can start small and scale the team as needed.
Do we have to rebuild the model when new parts or sites are added?
No. We add data only for the conditions where accuracy drops, then retrain.
Can we still order annotation only?
Yes. Annotation-only projects are welcome as always. You can start with data creation and talk to us about model development when you need it.
