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.
Our process
We believe that the best way to improve a production line is to work with you to gain a thorough understanding of how your process works and the problems, QA blind spots, data gathering needs, process control and automation challenges that you face. Although these challenges are unlikely to be totally unique to your facility, it’s almost inevitable that you will face special circumstances, environmental complications or unusual metrics that present distinct challenges - and opportunities for efficiency gains.
Understanding your line
We work closely with our customers on a technical level to gain a thorough understanding of your technical requirements and the full breadth and depth of the issues you wish to address - and to ensure we fully understand how your line works at the point of interest.
Developing the system you need
Once we’ve agreed on a specification and technique for your solution, we develop a system selecting from the most appropriate technologies and techniques, pulling from our toolkit of existing hardware and software components where appropriate to keep costs down but developing new algorithms and devices as necessary to meet your requirements.
Depending on the complexity of your requirements and the plan we agree upon, this stage might be anything from selecting an existing unit that meets your needs all the way through to a full R&D project to devise a new technological solution.
Interfaces for integration
We develop user and machine interfaces to meet the requirements of your application, designing our system to integrate into your existing line control architecture as frictionlessly as possible. We provide detailed documentation and support to your engineers and programmers as they integrate our device into your line control.
Installation and training
Depending on the size and complexity of the system we supply you may wish to either install yourself following our detailed installation manual or use our site engineers to perform installation for you. In either case we offer training for users, comprehensive documentation and access to our support team to help with any queries that may arise.
Service, Support and Spares
Once your system goes live we continue to offer support. With our own distribution hubs in the UK and Europe we provide easy access to spare parts, and our network of support engineers allow us to offer commissioning and maintenance visits alongside any remote support you may need.
We aim to support our customers in the long term, keeping systems in good condition with preventative maintenance and also developing upgrades and modifications as production requirements evolve over time.

Where we operate
We’re based in the UK with offices near Oxford and Norwich from which our design and support teams operate. We also have a distribution hub in Germany, and a network of support engineers throughout Europe. Our hardware is principally designed, developed and assembled by our partner company in Yorkshire, UK.
For fifteen years we have been supplying and supporting systems in facilities across the UK, Europe and North America.
