Outerport is an AI frontier lab for advanced process design & manufacturing. Our mission is to create a virtuous cycle where AI optimizes process manufacturing (semiconductor equipment, chemicals, materials, and energy) to accelerate next-generation AI technologies. The company was founded by Towaki Takikawa, a former NVIDIA research scientist who developed foundation models for geometry and simulation (5,000+ citations, CVPR/SIGGRAPH). Our customers include global leaders in industrial & semico
Outerport provides an AI design and process engineer that can find engineering diagrams, generate engineering designs, run simulations, and perform data analysis to shorten design cycles. This is powered by computer vision technology which can accurately convert unstructured visual data (mechanical, piping, electrical, chemical diagrams) into AI-ready formats (such as JSON). Furthermore, designs are optimized by our reinforcement learning trained LLM, which is able to guess the best operating parameters from a small number of data samples. Outerport supports private cloud deployments and integrates with existing PLMs by building a knowledge graph over existing data.
