Use Case — Manufacturing

Manufacturing

Real-time AI on the factory floor

Quality inspection, predictive maintenance, robotics, and safety — running right on the machine, at line speed. Wendy keeps perception and control local, so production never waits on the cloud and your process IP never leaves the plant.

Built for the factory floor

  • 01

    Visual Quality Inspection

    Catch defects at full line speed with vision models running on the station itself — no frames shipped to a server, no cloud latency gating throughput.

  • 02

    Predictive Maintenance

    Vibration, thermal, and acoustic models run directly on the machine, flagging bearing wear, misalignment, and drift long before unplanned downtime.

  • 03

    Robotics & Cell Control

    Perception and control for robot arms, AMRs, and pick-and-place cells with the deterministic, single-digit-millisecond latency a moving line demands.

  • 04

    Worker Safety Zones

    On-device vision watches for PPE, proximity to moving equipment, and restricted-zone entry — and reacts in real time, even fully offline.

  • 05

    Your Process IP Never Leaves the Plant

    Camera feeds, recipes, and process data are competitive secrets. Everything is computed locally, so nothing crosses the firewall — air-gapped networks included.

  • 06

    Built for OT Networks

    Wendy runs happily inside segmented OT environments: hardware-backed device identity, signed and verified OS images, and encrypted storage on every station.

  • 07

    OTA Updates Across Every Line

    Push a new model or application to one cell, one line, or every plant. Atomic updates mean a station is never left half-updated during a shift.

  • 08

    Line Analytics & OEE

    Compute throughput, scrap rates, and downtime causes at the edge in real time, and surface the metrics that actually move OEE.

  • 09

    Fleet Command & Control

    Manage every station, cell, and gateway from one console: issue commands, monitor status, and roll out changes across plants in real time.

  • 10

    Rugged Hardware Support

    First-class support for the edge compute that survives the floor — from NVIDIA Jetson to Raspberry Pi, mounted on the machine, in the cabinet, or on the line.
