Data Science & Computer Vision
Process, Pharma & Manufacturing Industry
Our Service
We help businesses and research institutes to leverage the new developments in data science with object identification and recommender systems using computer vision. Our focus is to develop and implement solutions in product lines and processes of small to medium-sized businesses. No off-the-shelves solution, every project is specifically developed to our customers with long-term support for the application, implementation, and future developments.

for small and medium-sized businesses
End-to-End
From data mining to standalone software with graphical user interfaces, we create the solution to your computer vision problem. We simulate and train your models on our own servers and either bring the solution to the common cloud providers or integrate the solution into your workflow with custom workstations for offline use.
0$ Licensing
We develop software in our own open-source, permissive free framework and use other, suitable permissive free solutions, which means no licensing fee for you. The code we develop in your project, you own. Scale the developed software to your needs and include it in your existing (commercial) software package.

What we do
Process Control
The development of high-quality in-line probes and on-line measuring techniques enables you to look directly into your process. We help you to automate these new insights with machine learning to extract vital process information in real-time. Particle size, shape, and concentration, as well as event recognition like coalescence and break-up, are the day-to-day parameters we extract for our customers. Use it in multiphase-reactors, steam generators, and crystallizers for optimal process control. Our partners have the measuring technology - we help to extract the information with state of the art machine learning and computer vision techniques. Contact us
Extracting basic parameters from multiphase systems is vital to develop, monitor, and control complex processes
Quality control begins in the reactor, monitor your crystal size on-line to achieve a constant product quality
Monitor and control cell size, cell count and cluster size for optimal growth rate
Process Control
Visual Inspection
Self-driving cars show us the possibilities of machine learning algorithms in the field of computer vision. Recognizing and inspecting objects from pictures is an important step towards smart processing plants. From event detection to inspecting products, we help you to make your plant smarter. Contact us
Recognizing complex objects from images can help to identify safety hazards.
Inspect product with cameras is a standard procedure to improve product quality in a variaty of applications.
Recommender Systems
Recommender systems based on images will help your customers to choose the right product from a large catalog. Another application is to recommend replacement parts from pictures/camera footage. Contact us to learn how we can help you.
Flow Visualization
The rapid development of the camera technology allows us to look in almost every process and use high-resolution high-speed cameras for process and product monitoring.
We help you design your customized optical setup to get the best pictures from your problem. If the problem exceeds our possibilities, we have the right partners for specialized application.
Over the last years, we developed the Particle Shadowgraphy Velocimetry (PSV) for multiphase flows. By reducing the laser for PIV measurements, the setu-up is only a fraction of the cost and the method can be applied outside of laser labs.
Our Services
Annotation Tools
Over the last 10 years, we develop specialized computer vision applications for the process industry. With this experience, we can design annotation tools specifically to your problem to speed-up the time-consuming process of annotating objects in pictures.
Pairing the latest computer vision techniques with unsupervised machine learning techniques will reduce the annotation time to a minimum. After the initial annotation work is done, we implement a neural network that learns with your annotation.
Data Pipelines
We build the database and develop the data-pipeline to your problem. Streaming the data from the measuring device to your database and produce publish-able dashboards in the cloud or using your intranet.
Neural Networks
We develop computer vision applications with custom-designed neural networks to your problem. We deliver desktop, server, and server-less solutions that can be integrated into your workflow and your commercial software product.
Data Visualization
Making complex data accessible to decision processes is one of the most important task in data science. We leverage the state of the art dashboards to make all data accessible and easy understandable. We also integrate the data pipeline into your workflow so that your engineers have the data available in their environment.
About us
Thomas Ziegenhein, Founder
Our goal is to bring the recent developments in the field of machine learning to the small and medium-sized businesses in the process industry. While those developments are already implemented in the retail, finance and automotive sector, the chemical and bio industry has a lot of potential to use these techniques. Our core team, which consists of engineers, physicist, and software developers, is specialized on computer vision and predictive modelling tasks in this field. We serve our customers as analyst, data engineer and model developer for either application developement or get you started in the field of data science.
With our scientific partner the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf (HZDR), we developed an open-source, permissive-free framework to develop end-to-end computer vision and modelling applications. All of our developments are done in this framework and we have the philosophy that the software we build for our customers, is owned by our customers.
