Industries

Where the physical world meets machine intelligence.

We focus on industries where perception, precision and timing decide outcomes, and where engineering depth matters more than generic AI tooling.

I-01

Manufacturing

Higher yield, less scrap and consistent quality from perception systems that keep pace with production.

Sparks flying from metal fabrication in a manufacturing workshop

Challenges we address

  • Manual inspection that does not scale with throughput
  • High-mix lines with frequent changeovers
  • Quality data trapped on the line

Applications

  • In-line defect detection
  • Assembly verification
  • Vision-guided handling
  • Process anomaly monitoring

I-02

Healthcare & Medical Devices

Engineering partnership for device teams building real-time imaging and video-based products.

Modern hospital operating room with surgical table and equipment

Challenges we address

  • Research algorithms too slow for live use
  • Strict latency requirements for operator-facing video
  • Documentation demands of regulated development

Applications

  • Live surgical and endoscopic video processing
  • Ultrasound image enhancement
  • AI-assisted visualization overlays
  • Device manufacturing inspection

I-03

Robotics

Perception, fusion and guidance software that lets robots handle variability.

Challenges we address

  • Unstructured parts and environments
  • Perception latency that limits cycle time
  • Fragile calibration in the field

Applications

  • Bin picking and depalletizing
  • Vision-guided assembly
  • Mobile and gantry inspection
  • Multi-sensor state estimation

I-04

Scientific Instrumentation

Accelerated acquisition and analysis pipelines that keep up with modern sensors.

  • Analysis code that does not scale
  • Instruments deployed at remote sites

Applications

  • Real-time signal and image analysis
  • On-instrument reconstruction
  • Automated event detection
  • Edge processing at remote sites

I-05

Industrial Inspection

Repeatable, documented inspection of assets, components and infrastructure.

Challenges we address

  • Inspector shortages and subjective results
  • Complex geometries and access constraints
  • Large volumes of inspection imagery

Applications

  • Automated surface and weld inspection
  • Robot-mounted inspection routines
  • Inspection image triage
  • Asset condition monitoring

I-06

Research & Development

Engineering capacity to turn promising prototypes into robust, deployable systems.

Challenges we address

  • Prototypes that never leave the lab
  • Limited in-house software engineering
  • Hardware integration bottlenecks

Applications

  • Prototype hardening and productization
  • Experimental perception systems
  • Custom sensor integration
  • Benchmarking and feasibility studies

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.
