SOLUTIONS · Applied AI

AI where the math pays for itself.

Visual inspection, anomaly detection, forecasting — deployed only where a measurable baseline exists and a model can beat it. Piloted against a written number before anything scales.

WHAT IT IS

Applied AI

AI only where the math pays for itself — inspection, maintenance, forecasting — piloted against a baseline before anything scales.

AI in a factory is not magic; it is statistics with discipline. We deploy it where a measurable baseline exists and a model can beat it: catching visual defects before packing, hearing the early signature of a failing bearing, forecasting demand and material needs. Every deployment starts as a pilot with an agreed baseline — if the model cannot beat it, we say so and stop.

PAIN → RELIEF

What changes when this goes live

TODAY

Defects found at final inspection — or by the customer

WITH AI

Camera and model catch the defect class at the station, minutes after it happens

TODAY

The critical machine fails before shipment day

WITH AI

Anomaly detection flags the failure signature weeks early

TODAY

Forecasts are someone’s educated guess

WITH AI

The model beats a written baseline — or we say so and stop

WHAT YOU GET

The features, in three honest groups

SEE — vision that works on your defects

  • Visual defect detection at the critical stations
  • Surface and cosmetic classes trained on your real defects
  • Confidence scores with human-in-the-loop review
  • Camera and lighting design for the actual station

PREDICT — hear trouble coming

  • Anomaly detection on machine and sensor streams
  • Predictive maintenance for critical assets
  • Demand and material forecasting with seasonality
  • Alerts ranked by cost, not by noise

PROVE — results measured against a baseline

  • Every pilot runs against a written baseline
  • Retraining pipeline as products and defects change
  • On-prem or private deployment for sensitive data
  • A stop clause: if it cannot beat the baseline, we stop

A DAY ON THE FLOOR

What it looks like in real time

09:30 · Solder paste batch changes

The vision station flags drift within minutes — not at end-of-line QC, when a hundred boards are already at risk.

Week 6 · A bearing signature appears

Maintenance is scheduled between orders — not on shipment day, at double cost.

Quarter close · Forecast review

Model accuracy versus baseline is on the record: keep it, fix it, or stop it.

HOW WE DEPLOY

Three phases, no big bang

1

Weeks 1–2 · Feasibility, honestly

Data volume, labels and baseline check — sometimes the answer is “not yet”, and we say it free of charge.

2

Weeks 3–8 · Pilot vs baseline

One defect class or one asset, written success metric, weekly reading of the honest numbers.

3

Month 3+ · Scale what proved itself

Only pilots with beaten baselines scale — to more lines, more classes, more assets.

THE HONEST PART

THE HONEST PART

Sometimes the honest answer is “not yet” — the data volume or labels are missing. We will say it, and tell you exactly what to start collecting this quarter.

Before you ask

How much data do we need?

Rule of thumb for vision: several hundred real examples per defect class. The feasibility check tells you in week one whether you are there.

Will it replace our QA staff?

No — it removes the boring pass. People judge exceptions, handle what machines cannot, and teach the model what it missed.

Can it run on-premise?

Yes — common for our Japanese clients. Images and models stay inside your plant; nothing leaves without permission.

What if accuracy ends up below the promise?

The pilot had a written baseline and a stop clause. If the model cannot beat the baseline, we stop the pilot, as agreed in the pilot terms.
