Core capabilities

From photons to decisions. Engineered as one system.

Intelligent automation fails at the seams between sensors, models and machines. We engineer across all three, so the system works on the line and not only in a notebook.

01

Perception

We make machines see and sense: industrial cameras, depth, ultrasound, instruments and multi-sensor arrays, calibrated and synchronized.

02

Machine intelligence

We develop and optimize models for detection, segmentation, anomaly and state recognition, tuned to the accuracy the process demands.

03

Physical action

We close the loop: reject gates, robot motion, PLC signals and operator guidance, inside the time budget of the process.

Our engineering approach

Production is the only benchmark that matters.

Demos are easy. Systems that run every shift, survive changeovers and earn operators' trust are not. Four principles guide every engagement.

How we engineer

  1. 01

    Physics first

    Optics, lighting, sensor placement and timing decide most outcomes before a model is trained. We start there.

  2. 02

    Latency is a requirement

    We set an end-to-end time budget at the start and engineer every stage to fit inside it.

  3. 03

    Measured, not claimed

    Success criteria are agreed up front and verified on your hardware, with your data, in realistic conditions.

  4. 04

    Built to be owned

    Documented architecture, reproducible builds and source ownership options. No black boxes.

Edge AI & real-time processing

Intelligence where the data is born.

Sending every frame to the cloud costs time, bandwidth and control. We deploy accelerated AI next to the sensor, on-device or on an on-site edge server, so decisions arrive while they still matter.

  • Zero-copy streaming pipelines with bounded, predictable latency
  • Models optimized for embedded and industrial accelerators
  • Distributed processing across multiple edge nodes
  • Data stays on-site for privacy, IP protection and uptime

Research & innovation

We invest in the problems our customers will face next.

Our internal R&D programme explores techniques that shorten development time and widen what can be automated. Explore our application concepts to see where it is heading.

R&D-01

Few-shot anomaly detection

Learning what “normal” looks like when defect examples are rare.

R&D-02

Multi-sensor fusion

Combining vision, depth, motion and process signals into one reliable state.

R&D-03

Accelerated reconstruction

Moving imaging algorithms from offline research code to live operation.

R&D-04

Synthetic data & simulation

Training and testing perception before hardware is on the floor.

Project delivery

A disciplined path from feasibility to production.

Every engagement is staged with clear exit criteria, so you invest progressively as risk comes down.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We study the process, the physics and the constraints, and define measurable success criteria and a latency budget.

  2. 02

    Feasibility

    We test on your real parts, signals or images to establish what accuracy and speed are achievable before major investment.

  3. 03

    Engineering

    We build the system in iterative increments: sensing, models, pipeline, integration and interfaces.

  4. 04

    Validation

    We verify against the agreed criteria on target hardware, under realistic conditions, with documented results.

  5. 05

    Deployment

    We commission on site, train your team and hand over documentation, source options and operating procedures.

  6. 06

    Evolution

    We monitor performance, retrain on new data and extend the system as your operation changes.

Engineering consultation

Have a process that needs to see, decide and act?

Tell us about the parts, signals or images you work with. An engineer, not a salesperson, will reply with an initial assessment of feasibility and next steps.
