why manufacturing

Prove it on the hardest floors,
and it works anywhere.

10 million people. A fifth of Japan's GDP. One percent of it is ¥1 trillion.

That one percent only ever comes one shop floor at a time.

Japan's shop floor is the toughest test bed there is: mixed makers, decades-old machines, paper logs, fewer hands.

What works here, we take to your plants overseas — and, in time, to other industries.

forward-deployed engineering

The people who built it
come to your floor.

Forward-Deployed Engineering The engineers who designed the product install it on your floor themselves. No selling and handing over.

The people who know it best do the work.

What we learn on your floor goes back into the product.

We stay on for operation and maintenance.

100machines

Machines of every make,
one set of data

Automotive parts / Osaka, Japan Machine connection

One machine at a time —
and 90 in four weeks.

Every maker, every vintage. Where to start, how to fit hardware without getting in the way — the people on the floor taught us one machine at a time. Not rushed; checked at every step. Still, 90 machines in four weeks. The link to heat treatment took shape alongside it.

One team's template,
then the next, and next

Metal products / Gifu, Japan Company-wide rollout

The customer was already
running ahead of us.

It began with one department running several systems in parallel, and pulling them into one. After that, we were not the ones expanding it. “That department next.” The customer drove it; we kept up. The gaps they named became our path into the core system. What AI can do beyond that, we are working out together.

Three sites, apart —
one system inside a year

Automotive parts / Aichi, Japan Multi-site integration

Decisions came fast —
three sites inside a year.

Head office and two plants, each with its own part numbering and process names. We asked on-site why, then found a way onto one system without changing how people work. Decisions came fast, each step checked and passed. Inside a year of go-live, management reads the same numbers.

ERP-linkedInventory, cost, planning

for multi-site and overseas operations

One method.
Every plant.

Most of our customers make things in more than one place. The first plant is never a one-off — it becomes the pattern for the next.

Forward-deployed, site by site.

Our engineers go to the first plant and learn your part numbers and your processes there. After that it is a template: one department to company-wide, one site to three.

Head office and plants read the same numbers.

Every site's production, inventory and cost on one line. Not three spreadsheets to reconcile before anyone can decide.

Built for the machines you inherited.

Overseas plants tend to run older equipment from mixed makers. Legacy PLCs and sensors, whatever the badge on the front — that is what monicon connects.

Straight answer: our engineers are based in Japan, and how far we can go depends on the site. Tell us where your plants are and what is on the floor — we will say plainly what we can and cannot do today.

ceo / founder

Hiromi Jitsukawa実川大海

2013Keio University, Faculty of Science and Technology. Worked on resin micro-machining for microchemical chips used in drug discovery.
2014Founded MAKEY, a makeup media service for women, while at the University of Tokyo Graduate School; later left the programme.
2016Sold the company to a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed firm; seconded to a group company, where he launched several new businesses.
2017Worked on M&A, PMI and the DX behind them in legacy businesses. Based in the Philippines, hiring locally to set up a new operation.
2018After supporting a friend's fund launch, founded transmit, raising capital from venture capital firms including that fund.

The world has entered an age of turmoil.

The long peace is drawing to a close.
Japan's growth has stalled. Its prosperity and its standing are not what they were.

That is exactly why acting now matters.

The industry with the widest base in this country is manufacturing.
Change it here, and Japan can be strong again. That is what we believe.

Japan's shop floors hold skill and know-how built up over decades.
None of it has become numbers. It is still sitting on the floor.

The workforce is shrinking, and handing the craft on is getting harder.
That knowledge is quietly being lost.

We turn the shop floor — all of it — into data, and turn that data into profit.
A labour shortage becomes an opening, through DX and AI.
Maximise efficiency and profit. Rebuild an industry good for the people in it.

And give people more free time.
That is transmit's work.
