UNICAGE realizes fully-distributed data processing
Shell-Based Programming
Unicage, based on the UNIX philosophy, creates corporate systems with text files and shell scripts. However, unless the text files are properly organized, efficient development and processing is not possible-- shell scripts may create poor systems depending on their usage. Positioning Unicage simply as a method for developing shell scripts is very dangerous.

Data Management
The Unicage system is composed of a data foundation system and an application system. The data foundation system is a system that generates level 1 to level 3 data.
The application system provides services along with data input and output for end users and other systems. By using level 3 data (and where necessary the created level 4 data), level 1 and level 5 data are also created.

Data Centric Development
With Unicage, we first develop the data infrastructure. To do so, we must understand all primitive data required for developing the future application system-- in other words, “the data comes first.”

Tokyu Hands is a growing business in Japan with about 39 stores nationally as of 2011. The stores sell a wide variety of merchandise that cater to a growing customer base. Tokyu Hands’ conducted a system search with the objective of digitizing its internal business system. After careful selection process it chose Unicage. Unicage, a development framework, allowed Tokyu Hands to build this internal system from scratch, without needing to hire consultants, which greatly reduced the development costs. One key factor for this busy retailer is that Unicage does not need to be upgraded like many off the shelf and customized systems today, this is due to the robust data centric and low level commands. For the retailer, they have not had to shut down or impact their customers or suppliers since going live.

Utilizing the UNIX philosophy learned there, he and his colleagues cut the in-house system maintenance expenses that used to cost tens of billions of yen per year to the billions, winning them the president's award. He became independent in 2004 and founded the Universal Shell Programming Laboratory.
Unicage wants to be a world leading cloud based Big Data Expert for the B2B Segment. Our technologies will help the development of future Big Data Models because we have tools that will facilitate the integration, combination and quality of massive data sets assuring a stable integration with other technologies and facilitate the combination of them.
For more than 40 years, Akio has served in a position responsible for promoting a diverse range of international businesses at the Japanese general trading firm TOYOTA TSUSHO. He also worked on reinventing the affiliate program through TPS(Toyota Production System), introducing the system into manufacturing, logistics, IT and various other fields to improve its quality, efficiency, and subsequently, profitability.
The USP Institute supports the New Mongolian College of Technology (NMTEC) by providing technical information on Unicage development methods and also by providing Japanese books for their libraries.
