Hardware requirements
Modern infrastructure for any type of company
Our API can be provisioned on an edge device (e.g., industrial PC), the cloud, or a hybrid infrastructure. The system adapts to your company's IT landscape — and not vice versa.
Hardware-agnostic
Any robot & camera

Any robot & camera
Hardware-agnostic
Any robot & camera
Cloud-only
Customers send recorded images for evaluation directly to the cloud.
Edge-only
A camera provides images directly to the edge device. Robots and other components of the system retrieve the result of the evaluation over the local network.
Hybrid
Compute-intensive operations such as training AI models are carried out in the cloud, and the evaluation runs on the edge device even without a stable internet connection.
