Technology Overview

Manual quality inspection of manufactured products can be repetitive, subjective, and highly prone to human assessment errors. Our state-of-the-art Industrial AI engine enables industries to build and deploy vision and asset analytics AI applications faster, drastically reducing the conceptualization to solution deployment timeline from few months to just few weeks. It comprises of end-to-end Industrial AI pipeline and integrated tools for data acquisition, preparation, labelling and management, secure API development and deployment. The Industrial AI engine learns from historical data and helps to automate the inspection process, removes subjectivity, and eliminates inspection errors. The AI engine can identify defective products, locate product defects (e.g. surface defects, foreign particles, assembly errors, packaging errors), accurately classify defect types and severity levels. It then provides visual feedbacks to the operator or feedback control signals to the automation systems. It can be integrated with wide range of vision hardware systems, and can be deployed on-premise servers, private cloud servers.

We are looking forward to collaborating with B2B customers including industrial automation Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), System Integrators and Companies in manufacturing sector (e.g. food and beverages, semiconductor, biopharmaceutical and automotive).
