Some problems cannot be solved by software alone: they need an object that measures, sees, counts, signals or moves. We design all of it: the sensors, the electronics, the 3D-printed parts, the assembly and the software that runs it.
Part of the work happens away from the screen: a part coming off the machine, a level to watch, a movement to count, a check done by eye. As long as nothing captures that information, no software knows about it. It takes an object in the right place, and that object is what we build.
A whole tool, not a single component. We pick off-the-shelf components where they exist, design what does not exist, then 3D print or machine it, assemble, wire and write the software. You receive a working device, with its manual.
We start from common, well-documented hardware: Raspberry Pi or Arduino boards, cameras, sensors, motors and even a robotic arm. For the software, we build on open-source software and write the program for your device, rather than having you buy expensive proprietary software.
We start with a prototype that puts the idea to the test, on a bench, with your parts or in your actual working conditions. It shows what works and what does not before you commit further. If the test is conclusive, we move to the sturdy version: enclosure, mounts, clean wiring, tests on site.
A working tool gets handled, moved and cleaned. We design it for that: replaceable parts, easy access, documented settings. We do not touch the controls or the safety systems of your machines: the device sits alongside them, and its result can be made available to your integrator.
The design, the 3D-printed or machined parts (CNC machining), the assembly, the wiring and the software. The components (cameras, sensors, motors, boards and small computers such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi) are off the shelf, chosen for the job. When a part needs another process, sheet-metal work for example, we have it made by a specialist workshop.
With scoping: what the tool must do, where it will sit, who will use it. The €990 excl. VAT diagnostic can be the starting point. Then comes the prototype, priced separately, before any significant hardware purchase.
Custom tools: one unit or a small batch, for your own use. We do not do volume manufacturing.
It can move using motors or a robotic arm. What we do not touch is the control and safety systems of your existing machines: those remain the responsibility of their manufacturer or your integrator. The device works alongside them and can make its result available to them.
By default, onto a computer installed on your premises. Retention and access are decided with you. If people could appear in a camera’s field of view, we choose its position and framing with you to avoid that.
We quote each project. The price depends on the hardware needed and on the design work, which the prototype makes it possible to estimate. We price the prototype first, then the final version.
One call is enough to know whether the topic deserves a real project.
