AI engineering for manufacturing and automotive
Industrial CV inspection validation and civilian-vehicle perception evidence: no autonomous targeting, no defence work.
Start a conversation
Tell us the line
Manufacturing inspection and automotive perception share an evidence shape: a model that scores well in lab evaluation can still fail on the production line or the open road because the slice that breaks it was never in the training set, the eval harness never saw the new defect class, and the regression gate was missing when the model was swapped. The fix is engineering evidence around the model, not the model itself. We work on civilian transport and production-manufacturing inspection only.
Where the Engineering Bottleneck Lives
On the line, an industrial CV inspection deployment hits a defect class the original eval set never covered, a slice-level regression production monitoring is not catching, or a release-gate question after a model swap.
In the vehicle, a civilian perception programme (ADAS, fleet perception, test infrastructure) needs engineering validation evidence on a perception model or sub-component that the safety and validation roles you already have can read and challenge. Not certification, not safety-case authorship: the engineering evidence those roles use to do that work.
Where We Engage
Two Surfaces, One Monitoring Harness
Industrial inspection and civilian-vehicle perception are different application surfaces with the same failure shape, so both run through one fixed-scope engagement that ends in an eval harness and runbook your team keeps.
Industrial CV Inspection
Reliability
Eval harness with defect-class slice cuts, regression against historical defects, release gating, and a runbook the line team reruns.
Civilian-Vehicle Perception
Reliability
Engineering-evidence inputs for perception models: eval harnesses, edge-case regression, open-road-distribution monitoring.
Industrial CV Inspection
Quality-control deployments fail in a specific way: headline accuracy on the original eval set is fine, but a new product variant, defect mode, lighting condition, or model swap pulls slice-level performance off-target without surfacing in monitoring. We build the eval harness with the slice cuts the operations team cares about, regression suites against historical defect cases, gating that holds release until those cuts are within tolerance, and a runbook the line team can rerun.

Automotive Perception (Civilian Vehicles)
Civilian-vehicle perception (ADAS, driver assistance, fleet perception, test infrastructure) sits at the engineering-evidence end of the safety case, not the sign-off end. We build eval harnesses on the slices your safety team flags, regression suites against historical edge cases, slice-level monitoring that reflects the open-road distribution, and structured comparison of perception sub-components. We do not author safety cases or certify against functional-safety standards; the evidence is the input the safety roles you already have use.

Manufacturing & Automotive AI Engineering FAQ
How is industrial CV inspection validated beyond headline accuracy?
Headline accuracy on the original eval set is rarely the problem. We build the eval harness with the slice cuts operations actually care about (by product variant, defect mode, and lighting condition), run regression suites against historical defect cases, gate release until those cuts are within tolerance, and hand over a runbook the line team can rerun.
Where do inspection models drift after they pass evaluation?
A new product variant, a new defect mode, a lighting change, or a model swap pulls slice-level performance off-target without the regression surfacing in production monitoring. The eval harness is built with the slice cuts that expose exactly these conditions before a release ships.
What does civilian-vehicle perception validation deliver?
Engineering evidence: eval harnesses on the slices your safety team flags, regression suites against historical edge cases, slice-level monitoring that reflects the open-road distribution of the workload, and structured comparison of perception sub-components. It is the input the safety and validation roles you already have use, not certification.
Do you author safety cases or certify against ISO 26262 or SOTIF?
No. We produce engineering-evidence inputs only. We do not author safety cases, certify perception systems, or sign anything off against ISO 26262, ISO 21448 (SOTIF), UN R157, or any other functional-safety standard; the evidence is what the safety roles you already have use to do that work.
Can the line team re-run the validation after a model swap?
Yes. The eval harness and runbook ship with the engagement, so the line or validation team re-runs the slice cuts and regression suite after a model swap or a process change without us being on payroll. That re-runnable harness is the deliverable the pack is built around.
How We Work With Manufacturing & Automotive Teams
The Production AI Monitoring Harness has a fixed scope and a price tied to the outcome, and ends in something your team keeps and can re-run: the eval harness, the re-run script, the slice-level monitoring dashboard. We work alongside your safety, validation, and quality functions; we do not substitute for them, and we do not author safety cases or certify perception systems.
