Data Annotation Outsourcing Services for the Manufacturing Industry

Achieving high accuracy even in specialized and highly complex fields,
we participate in AI development projects for many domestic manufacturing companies.

Recent AI development has shifted toward more specialized fields, and the shortage of personnel for creating training data, which affects AI accuracy, has become a challenge.
Our system and processes for producing highly accurate data while inheriting the expertise of our clients have been highly regarded,
resulting in many requests for annotations that require high specialization and complexity.

  Skill Transfer
  That Determines the Success of AI Development and Implementation
  (Annotation Inheriting Expertise and Proprietary Technology)

  To successfully lead AI development and implementation, it is essential to incorporate the customer's proprietary technology, know-how, and expertise into the data during annotation work, which affects AI accuracy. However, assigning specialized personnel solely for this purpose significantly increases costs and strains the development budget.
  
  Therefore, our PM personally performs the annotation, repeatedly communicating with the client through meetings and spreadsheets to deepen the understanding and handover of the client's specialized technical know-how.
  By verbalizing this tacit knowledge and incorporating it into the specifications, and progressing the project while sharing it with the workers, we ensure success even in highly specialized and difficult projects.
  *It is also possible to assign specialized personnel upon request.

  Responding to the challenges of the manufacturing industry
  A rich lineup of services

  Our company offers a wide range of services, not only annotation, to solve various challenges faced by customers in the manufacturing industry.
  For customers struggling with AI development or accuracy improvement, we provide "in-house support" from AI development support to annotation, and for those facing a shortage of personnel to perform annotation due to inability to outsource data externally, we offer "annotation personnel dispatch". We provide optimal services tailored to our customers' challenges.

  Flexible resource utilization regardless of offshore or domestic

  Generally, leveraging offshore resources makes it possible to create large volumes of data at a low cost; however, relying solely on either domestic or offshore resources makes it difficult to maintain a balance between quality and cost, and limits the types of tasks that can be handled. Therefore, it is essential to utilize both offshore and domestic resources appropriately, considering their respective advantages and disadvantages according to the characteristics such as the difficulty level of annotation.
  
  Our company has a proven track record and expertise in effectively utilizing both overseas and domestic resources according to the characteristics of annotation work.
  We flexibly allocate tasks between offshore and domestic teams depending on the process and work type, and by managing quality control in Japan, we are able to provide annotations that balance cost and quality.
• 
  Complete information security

  Our company is equipped with a security room that meets ISMS standards. Therefore, we can ensure security even for projects handling highly confidential data.
  Additionally, the tool we use, "AnnoFab," is designed so that data cannot be saved on local PCs, ensuring security even for remote projects.
  Beyond these hardware measures, we also place great importance on and continuously conduct security training for our workers. Our information security management system has received high praise from our customers.

  They passed the trial.
  Our contracted data annotators stay engaged.

  Human Science does not outsource work through crowdsourcing, but instead directly contracts with reliable data annotators. While crowdsourcing may seem cost-effective at first glance, it can lead to inconsistent quality and unexpected cost overruns, due to additional revisions and verification work.
  When hiring data annotators, we always conduct interviews and trials. Even after a project has started, we ensure thorough communication to share important points and clarify any ambiguities, resulting in high-quality annotation.

Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ

I am worried about whether we can get the right personnel to work on the project.

At Human Science, we verify the content of the work before starting a project, and we assign personnel that are a good fit. By assigning resources that are directly contracted by our company, we form effective teams that utilize the aptitude and experience of each member.

I am worried that the members working on my project will change every time, because the work is intermittent. Can we keep the same project manager and team members assigned to this project?

Even for intermittent projects, the same members are generally responsible for the work. This also applies to the project manager. We utilize the knowledge and skills gained through past experience to achieve stable project operations with high quality.

For security reasons, we want to request on-site work instead of remote work.

That's no problem. We can handle your requests by using the secure room at our Shinjuku office, which has cleared ISMS standards, or station a resident employee at your facilities. For large-scale projects, we have even arranged dedicated work facilities. >>Achievements and Case Studies CASE 03
