That is an thrilling milestone for us, and we sit up for the journey forward. The funding shall be used to additional speed up rising the workforce to serve prospects worldwide, and to proceed enhancing the pc imaginative and prescient platform’s end-to-end and no-code capabilities. Try our open positions and assist us drive the subsequent wave of pc imaginative and prescient adoption!
To grasp the chance in entrance of us, and our prospects, let’s begin by reflecting on the massive shift underway on this planet of pc imaginative and prescient.
Enabling Firms to Undertake Pc Imaginative and prescient
Pc imaginative and prescient is game-changing for firms in bodily industries. Over the previous years, the demand for pc vision-based functions has exploded in practically each bodily business.
Nonetheless, as a result of excessive value, complexity, and shortage of technical experience, many firms nonetheless aren’t in a position to profit from AI vision-based functions at scale.
Large Untapped Potential of Pc Imaginative and prescient Purposes
The vary of use circumstances for pc imaginative and prescient is huge and extremely disruptive, from altering how producers automate high quality assessments and scale back cycle instances, development firms monitor tools utilization, how logistics leaders measure shipments and detect harm to their automobiles, and the way good cities oversee infrastructure for site visitors administration or parking techniques, to enabling eating places to scale back ready instances in-store and at drive-throughs.
AI imaginative and prescient know-how can flip photos into data and insights, saving the numerous billions at the moment spent on cumbersome, handbook inspection and remark processes. Discover extra case research and business options right here.
Pc Imaginative and prescient is simply too advanced and doesn’t scale
Latest advances throughout AI, GPU {hardware}, Edge AI, and deep studying have made pc imaginative and prescient much more accessible as algorithms develop into extra correct and simpler to coach. Nonetheless, whereas the know-how has been round for various years, implementation challenges have held again advances.
Each mannequin educated would require a strong infrastructure to run. Deploying and scaling these fashions within the discipline additionally requires vital infrastructure and hard-to-find experience, which is a significant barrier to enterprise adoption regardless of heavy business demand.
Firms have typically ended up with cameras and sensors restricted to an remoted software, or {hardware} and ML fashions that may’t be built-in and rapidly develop into outdated. Others have been daunted by the point and funding wanted to make techniques operational, or the technical complexity of sewing collectively varied instruments – primarily attempting to construct their very own AI platform from scratch.
On the core, all pc imaginative and prescient functions face comparable technical challenges. That’s why we’ve constructed an all-in-one infrastructure to allow companies to implement pc imaginative and prescient functions dramatically quicker, extra efficiently, and at decrease prices.
Viso Suite: Finish-to-end Pc Imaginative and prescient Platform
Viso presents a single workspace for companies to develop, deploy, function, and scale pc imaginative and prescient functions. Utilizing Viso Suite, the end-to-end enterprise imaginative and prescient platform, companies can construct and deploy vision-based functions in days as a substitute of months by abstracting and automating the whole lifecycle, throughout knowledge assortment, mannequin coaching, pipelining, configuration, deployment, serving, and monitoring.
In a nutshell, Viso Suite’s key capabilities embrace:
- Finish-to-Finish Pc Imaginative and prescient: Viso Suite is the one true end-to-end infrastructure for the whole lifecycle of AI imaginative and prescient.

It additionally permits firms to construct up inside AI capabilities with out giving up management of information and techniques.
- Visible No-Code Interface: Viso’s resolution permits companies to unify instruments, fashions, and knowledge throughout the pc imaginative and prescient software lifecycle with an intuitive no-code interface and visible programming as a substitute of writing and sustaining code. Highly effective no-code and low-code capabilities make it potential to get rid of over 80% of the time spent on coding, saving 4 FTE per software.
- Edge AI Infrastructure: The pc imaginative and prescient infrastructure of Viso is constructed to scale heavy pc imaginative and prescient workloads and function a number of functions with 1000’s of real-time digicam feeds. The extremely environment friendly AI structure permits double-digit value financial savings in comparison with conventionally constructed pc imaginative and prescient techniques. Study extra concerning the financial impression of Viso.
- Extremely Extensible, Modular Ecosystem: Viso helps constructing all pc imaginative and prescient use circumstances, and integrating any current digicam (additionally typical IP cameras), ML mannequin, or enterprise system. This makes it potential to future-proof all functions and combine them with all current techniques throughout the group.
The Viso Journey Forward
We based Viso in 2018 with a mission to make pc imaginative and prescient broadly accessible to all firms. Till launching the Viso Suite platform in 2022, we extensively battle-tested our infrastructure with firms delivering business-critical pc imaginative and prescient functions, processing over 40bn imaginative and prescient inferencing requests.
Over the course of the previous 12 months, the platform has gained spectacular momentum, with over a 6x year-of-year progress in logos, making Viso the fastest-growing pc imaginative and prescient infrastructure.
Going ahead, our objective is to develop into the worldwide supplier of AI imaginative and prescient infrastructure. We have now already gained prospects around the globe, in over 16 nations, with prospects together with PwC, A2A, DPD, DHL, and Orange, alongside a number of different Fortune 500 firms.
After efficiently bootstrapping to this point, and to satisfy the exploding demand for pc imaginative and prescient functions throughout industries, we’re partnering with Accel to assist broaden our platform and produce pc imaginative and prescient capabilities to firms the world over.
Our journey wouldn’t have been potential with out our extremely gifted and devoted workforce, and all the purchasers and companions who’ve stood by our facet.
Thanks for the huge help over the previous years – and for becoming a member of us in driving the subsequent wave of pc imaginative and prescient adoption!
