INDUSTRY / 08 — APPLIED AI

Intelligence you can deploy, not just demo.

AI becomes valuable when it is attached to a sensor, a decision and an action. We build the surrounding system so the model has good data to work with and a useful job to do.

PROBLEM FIRST

The problem on the ground.

We start with what goes wrong today, not with the technology.

01

Models without a job

Impressive notebooks that never reach a device or a decision.

02

Cloud costs and latency

Every call back to a data centre adds cost and delay.

03

Data that does not look like your site

Stock datasets fail in local light, local objects and local noise.

DESIGNED FOR REAL CONDITIONS

What we design around.

— Models sized to the target hardware.

— Local data collection and labelling.

— Offline-capable by default where the use case allows.

— Measured, reported accuracy with false alarms and misses included.

APPROACH

How we work in this sector.

01

Understand the operation

We visit, observe and listen before we specify anything.

02

Prototype against reality

Early builds go into the real environment, with its heat, dust, power and people.

03

Measure and report

Results are documented, including what did not work.

04

Prepare for use

Documentation, serviceability and a clear statement of what production would need.
