/ 01 - Disciplines

Design. Build. Install.

Three disciplines · one in-house team · UK-engineered

The lifecycle of every vision cell we deliver runs through the same three disciplines. The list below is what each one actually means on a project — from feasibility study to a commissioned cell running on your floor.

One team,
start to finish.

In short

The same engineers design, build and install the cell — so what's specified on paper is what runs on your floor.

●A // Design

Every system starts on the bench. Our in-house engineers specify the cameras, optics, lighting and algorithms around your part, your line speed and your tolerance, before a single bracket is cut.

Full Design discipline →
  • Application study

    01

    Workshop with your process, quality and engineering teams to lock the failure modes, acceptance criteria and line constraints before design begins.

  • Feasibility & sample trials

    02

    Bench trials on real production samples with imaging proof and a documented confidence statement against your tolerance.

  • Optics & lighting design

    03

    Camera, lens and lighting selection modelled around field of view, working distance, depth of field and ambient conditions on your floor.

  • Algorithm architecture

    04

    Vision pipeline designed up front — classical, deep-learning or hybrid — with throughput, latency and false-reject budget defined.

  • Mechanical & electrical design

    05

    Frames, enclosures, guarding and control panels designed to your site standard, with full 3D models and schematics issued for review.

  • Specification & quote

    06

    Single specification document covering hardware, software, integration scope and acceptance tests, priced and timelined.

●B // Build

Hardware and software are built under one roof. Frames, enclosures, control panels and vision software are engineered together and FAT-tested in our workshop before they ever land on your floor.

Full Build discipline →
  • Mechanical fabrication

    01

    Frames, enclosures and bracketry fabricated to drawing, with finishes and guarding chosen for your sector and washdown regime.

  • Control panel build

    02

    Panels wired to IEC 61439 with documented schematics, labelled cores and full continuity and dielectric testing before dispatch.

  • Vision software development

    03

    Application software written in-house against the agreed specification, version-controlled and documented per cell.

  • Algorithm training & tuning

    04

    Classical and deep-learning models trained on your samples, with edge cases and false-reject behaviour reviewed against acceptance criteria.

  • Integration with PLC stack

    05

    PLC, HMI and reject hardware integrated and bench-tested as one system, not stitched together at site.

  • Factory acceptance testing

    06

    FAT against the signed specification on real or representative samples, with a witnessed report you sign before shipment.

●C // Install

Site install, line integration and commissioning are handled by the same engineers who designed and built the system — so the line runs to spec from the first shift, not the fourth.

Full Install discipline →
  • Mechanical install

    01

    Cell dropped into the line on a planned shutdown, aligned to the conveyor and guarded to your site's safety standard.

  • Reject integration

    02

    Pushers, blowers, diverters and reject bins wired to the cell with full traceability of every rejected part.

  • PLC / MES handshake

    03

    Hardwired and Ethernet/IP, Profinet or Modbus handshake with your line PLC and MES — proven on your live signals.

  • On-site calibration

    04

    Traceable calibration and Gauge R&R run on the installed cell with operators from your team, not just our engineers.

  • SAT & sign-off

    05

    Site Acceptance Test on real production with a documented false reject / false accept report you can sign against.

  • Training & handover

    06

    Shift-by-shift training for operators and engineers, with quick-reference SOPs and a documented handover pack left on the cell.
