Product Overview

Unlike traditional inspection systems - either manual, rule-based, or rigid commercial AI platforms - Inspec integrates intelligent edge learning and predictive analytics capabilities into a flexible, low-cost system architecture.

Our platform enables real-time customization and foresight into asset health - benefits that current market offerings are not architected to deliver without extensive engineering or infrastructure.

Core Technical Innovations

On-Site, Non-Technical AI Model Training

Inspec introduces a novel method for empowering end-users - specifically non-technical personnel - to locally train or fine-tune an AI model for defect detection without requiring machine learning knowledge, data science teams, or cloud connectivity.

The system includes a guided workflow that allows users to collect labeled data, validate inputs, and trigger training routines directly on-site, using hardware-accelerated edge devices (e.g., industrial PCs, laptops).

Key Technical Features:

  • Embedded training interface with drag-and-drop image labeling and feedback loop
  • Few-shot learning and incremental tuning methods that adapt existing base models with minimal data
  • Hardware-aware training pipeline that dynamically adjusts batch size, learning rate, and model parameters based on system resource availability
  • Deployment synchronization for hot-swapping custom models into a live inspection pipeline with rollback functionality

Predictive Maintenance Analytics from Visual Inspection Data

While most vision systems stop at defect classification, Inspec advances the capability by deriving asset health trajectories from visual inspection events over time. The platform aggregates inspection metadata (e.g., defect frequency, type, and spatial correlation) and fuses this with contextual operational data or external failure statistics to generate maintenance forecasts.

Key Technical Features:

  • Defect progression modeling using historical inspection data to infer rate-of-degradation patterns
  • Hybrid data fusion allowing integration of internal logs and publicly available maintenance datasets
  • On-device predictive analytics engine offering maintenance alerts with configurable risk thresholds and lead times
  • API/visual dashboard for delivering insights to maintenance staff or connected factory systems
