What is irodori

irodori is a palm-sized hyperspectral camera born from space technology. While a standard camera captures light in 3 primary colors (RGB), irodori identifies 18 wavelength bands — visualizing light information invisible to the naked eye.

No specialist knowledge required. Captured data is automatically analyzed by the AI platform “ANSWER Lite” and presented in an easy-to-understand format.

Case Studies

Case Studies

irodori is at work across a wide range of industries

Automotive parts production line
Manufacturing (Auto Parts)

Major Auto Parts Manufacturer

Manufacturing / Auto Parts

Introduced irodori for final-stage color checks. Detected subtle color variations missed by traditional visual inspection, significantly improving quality control accuracy.

Apparel quality control
Manufacturing (Apparel)

Apparel Manufacturer

Manufacturing / Apparel

Used irodori for T-shirt fabric quality control. Quantified color variation between dye lots, enabling objective pre-shipment quality standards.

Agriculture

Individual Farmer

Agriculture

Used irodori for component, color, and quality inspection of tea leaves — helping optimize harvest timing.

Food Manufacturing

Major Bakery Manufacturer

Manufacturing (Food)

Adopted irodori for evaluating bread baking color. Previously reliant on skilled inspectors’ visual judgment, the baking quality assessment is now quantified — unifying quality standards and eliminating dependence on individual expertise. Variations in doneness can now be managed objectively.
