About us
Devising new ways to solve hard problems is fun. We thrive on the challenge of designing intuitive, elegant user experiences that transform solutions into products.
Since 2011 we've been dedicated to developing and installing cutting-edge solutions that leverage image processing and machine learning to overcome complex technical problems in production monitoring and quality control.
Specialist software
We write the specialist software for our systems in-house, with a particular focus on image processing and modern UI design, developing on and designing for an open-source Linux-based stack.
Our systems operate 24/7, analysing the shape, size, thermal, and visible properties of products on moving lines without interrupting the production process.
Tailored system design
At Emergent Design, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Unlike traditional software companies, we collaborate closely with mechanical and electronic design partners, service engineers and the end users.
Every system we design is adapted to meet the unique requirements of our clients, crafted to ensure seamless integration with your manufacturing process.
Where we operate
For over a decade we’ve been raising standards and streamlining operations in manufacturing plants across Europe and now also offer our products and expertise in North America.
