Computer vision hardware

Camera systems for controlled visual inspection.

We prototype the physical capture layer together with the software that triggers, transfers, evaluates, and presents each image in its operating context.

Capture hardware

Two generations of the capture hardware.

v1 proved the enclosed approach in a working kitchen. v2 is the camera we design and build today for Pizza Checker. Both combine the imaging and local-compute layers in one unit, and each installation is adapted to its optics, working distance, and lighting, so this is not a fixed public hardware catalogue.

v1 · Previous

Enclosed edge unit

A compact hardware layer combining the camera, local compute, wired connectivity, and service access in one maintainable package.

  • Enclosed camera and local compute
  • Wired network connection
  • Serviceable lens and external ports

v2 · Current

Pizza Checker camera

The camera we design and build today for the packing station. A 4K autofocus camera, its own computer, and its cooling fit into a sealed aluminium body that mounts flat under the shelf.

  • 4K stills (4056 × 3040) with motorised autofocus
  • One PoE+ cable for power and data, plug and play
  • Sealed aluminium body, 157 × 65 × 35 mm
  • Focus, exposure, and white balance set remotely

One operating system

The camera is one layer of the product.

Capture

Define the subject, optics, lighting, working distance, and trigger conditions before evaluating a model.

Edge service

Run the capture service close to the camera and pass a structured image event into the wider application.

Operations layer

Connect results to the relevant order, branch, product, or process so a person can review and act on the evidence.

Reference implementation

Vosíme Pizza Checker.

The reference connects purpose-built capture hardware with image evaluation and a browser-based operations layer. The links separate the client, named contact, implementation evidence, and application surface.
