Manufacturing
& Industrial
Physical Intelligence for the Factory Floor
Your ERP knows what was produced. Your MES knows what should be produced. Neither tells you what's actually happening — between stations, at the dock, during shift change — right now.
Sub-100ms edge intelligence. No video stored.
Station 4: Cycle time 23% above target
OPS Operator flagging bottleneck for supervisor
Welding Zone B — missing safety goggles. Alert sent to shift supervisor.
Occupancy within limits. Continuous monitoring active.
The Visibility Gap
Manufacturing runs on assumptions. Cycle times are theoretical. Safety compliance is periodic. Throughput losses hide in the gaps between systems.
A staging area sits idle — invisible to your MES
Go unmanned during shift handover — found hours later
Missed in a periodic round — could cost $42,000+
These aren't failures of technology. They're failures of visibility. Your systems measure output. Pulses measures everything that happens before output.
How It Works
Pulses Precision Vision Modules deploy at critical points — production lines, restricted zones, loading docks, warehouses, entry gates.
Deploy Modules
Mount Vision Pro modules at key points. IP67 rated for -20°C to 55°C. Pre-configured AI models.
Edge Processing
Each module runs multiple AI models on NVIDIA Ampere architecture. Raw visual data becomes structured metadata in <100ms.
Zero Video Stored
No frames written to disk or transmitted. Workers tracked as anonymized metadata only. Privacy by architecture.
Real-Time Intelligence
Continuous digital layer over physical operations — measuring what ERP, MES, and manual rounds cannot see.
Intelligence Capabilities
Two Intelligence Products working the factory floor simultaneously — Operations for throughput and efficiency, Compliance for safety and regulatory standards.
Line Throughput Analysis
Station-by-station measurement of actual cycle time, worker dwell, and handoff delays. Theoretical cycle time is not actual cycle time — Pulses closes the delta.
Bottleneck Detection
Flow analytics across zones reveal where throughput stalls. A staging area with 18-minute average dwell when the target is 7 minutes — invisible in MES data, immediately apparent with physical intelligence.
Loading Dock Optimization
Bay-by-bay tracking of vehicle arrival, dwell, and departure. Real-time queue depth and automatic alerts when a bay exceeds its SLA — applied to your most expensive logistics chokepoint.
Warehouse Flow Mapping
Worker movement patterns mapped across warehouse zones to identify inefficient paths, congestion points, and underutilized areas. Data-driven layout optimization based on how people actually move.
Shift Handover Verification
Automated confirmation that stations are staffed at changeover time. Gaps are flagged to supervisors in real time — not discovered hours later when defects surface downstream.
Continuous PPE Monitoring
Hard hats, safety vests, protective eyewear — monitored continuously at restricted zone entries. Violations trigger instant alerts to safety officers with timestamp, zone, and anonymized ID.
Restricted Zone Enforcement
Flagging unauthorized personnel in hazardous or controlled areas. Access enforcement happens at the edge, in real time, without badge readers or turnstiles.
Occupancy Limits
Automated headcount enforcement in confined spaces, chemical storage areas, and clean rooms. When a zone exceeds safe capacity, the system alerts immediately.
Automated Audit Trail
Every detection — zone entry, presence duration, PPE status, occupancy count — is logged as structured metadata. OSHA and ISO 45001 audit evidence compiled automatically.
Incident Investigation
Continuous anonymized presence log for every monitored zone. Investigators reconstruct timelines in minutes — how many people, how long, the flow patterns — all without stored video.
The Numbers
Why Pulses, Not Traditional Systems
Traditional systems send video to servers with 2-3 seconds of latency. In manufacturing, a safety alert delayed by 3 seconds arrived too late.
Edge Processing, Not Cloud
Everything processed on-device in under 100ms. No bandwidth requirements. No cloud dependency. In manufacturing, edge speed is not a feature — it is a requirement.
Privacy by Architecture
No video frames written to disk or transmitted. Workers tracked as anonymized metadata. This is not a policy choice — it is an architectural one, enforced at the silicon level.
Built for Harsh Environments
Vision Pro modules operate from -20°C to 55°C with IP67 protection. Designed for factory floors, outdoor yards, and loading docks — not climate-controlled server rooms.
Silicon-Level Security
One of only 40 NVIDIA vendor keys globally, burned into GPU silicon. Firmware cryptographically unique per device. Storage cannot be swapped between units.

See Your Factory Floor Clearly
A single prevented lost-time injury — averaging $42,000 in direct costs — justifies the deployment. The throughput gains are everything beyond that.
