CADDi Co. Ltd.

CADDi Inc. is an international technology company offering an AI-powered data intelligence platform purposefully built for design, engineering and manufacturing businesses. We unleash manufacturing potential by transforming years of information into actionable data intelligence across the discrete manufacturing supply chain.

Headquartered in Tokyo and Chicago, the company was founded in 2017 by industry veterans Yushiro Kato and Aki Kobashi, formerly of McKinsey and Apple.

CADDi’s AI data platform is designed to preserve, structure, and reuse engineering knowledge so legacy experience decisions are operationalized as usable intelligence for ongoing and future work. Manufacturers generate vast volumes of drawings, specifications, and production records. Because this information is often fragmented across systems and teams, prior work becomes difficult to find and apply. As a result, critical decisions depend on individual experience rather than shared knowledge, limiting consistency, speed, and scalability. CADDi restructures fragmented data into connected, searchable intelligence that teams can use across engineering, procurement, quality, and operations workflows.

Our flagship product, CADDi Drawer, applies advanced, domain-specific AI to analyze engineering drawings and related manufacturing data, enabling teams to locate historical designs, understand how parts evolved, and apply proven solutions without recreating work. Rather than replacing PLM, ERP, or other enterprise systems, CADDi operates as a shared intelligence layer. By turning historical engineering data into insights, CADDi helps users with workflow efficiency and preserve institutional expertise as they scale. Launched in 2025, CADDi Quote streamlines cost management processes by leveraging AI-powered assistance to improve supplier selection decisions. The CADDi AI data platform continues to evolve to serve American Manufacturing needs.

CADDi was listed in Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies and received the SaaS Award for Best Business Intelligence and Engineering Management Software. To learn more, visit us.caddi.com/company
