## About

Founded in 2017 and based in Okinawa, Japan, LiLz Inc. develops artificial intelligence software and internet-connected camera systems for remote equipment inspection, meter reading, facility monitoring, anomaly detection, maintenance support, data collection, and operational management across factories, plants, utilities, and industrial facilities.

In August 2026, LiLz raised an undisclosed amount of venture funding from Daikin Industries.

LiLz Gauge is a cloud service that utilizes low power consumption IoT cameras and machine learning for visual patrol inspections of analog meters. Its customer industries are building management, power plants, chemical plants, public facilities, gas, industrial equipment, water and sewage plants and commercial facilities. The LTE-equipped cameras shoot thrice in a day and operate for three years. Multiple instruments can be monitored at the same time from the image taken by the camera. A telephoto lens can also be attached in order to shoot the instrument from a distance.

LiLz generates revenue from subscriptions for remote inspection software, equipment monitoring platforms, anomaly detection services, internet-connected camera systems, maintenance support solutions, implementation services, and industrial data management for factories, plants, and utilities

As of August 2026, LiLz plans to expand industrial monitoring solutions, develop factory and plant optimization services, strengthen energy management offerings, and grow partnerships supporting equipment operations and maintenance
