Mesacure Company , a vision AI specialist, and IHW, a developer of ultra-low power ACiM (Analog Computing In Memory)-based AI SoCs, announced on the 30th that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop integrated hardware and software solutions for security.
Through this agreement, the two companies will pursue joint research and development of integrated solutions that combine facial recognition AI algorithms with ultra-low-power AI chip technology, and strengthen cooperation in various areas such as carrying out related PoC (proof of concept) projects, government projects, and discovering domestic and international customers.
The scope of cooperation will expand to joint planning and development of hardware and software, focusing on IoT and edge devices such as smart doors. In terms of technology sharing, IHW will be responsible for designing ACiM-based AI SoCs and hardware, while Mesacure Company will be responsible for developing facial recognition AI algorithms and supplying related software technology.
IHW is developing an ultra-low-power analog AI chip for image and voice recognition. It plans to launch an AI SoC capable of operating for several months on a single AA battery in 2026, with full-scale mass production beginning in 2027. This technology is attracting attention in the mobile and IoT-focused edge device market, fueled by its power efficiency and real-time processing performance.
Mesacure Company has commercialized its proprietary facial recognition AI solution, "UFACE," across various sectors, including finance, the public sector, and education. Notably, the company has extensive experience commercializing facial recognition-based security technology, including establishing the first facial authentication login system in the domestic financial sector and participating in the national mobile ID card project.
Lee Ji-hoon, CEO of Mesacure Company, said, “IHW’s AI SoC is a proprietary technology that enables high-performance recognition in a battery-based environment,” and added, “Through this collaboration, we will jointly develop an integrated solution optimized for next-generation security systems such as smart doors and expand market application.”
