About DeepHawk

DeepHawk

DeepHawk is the next-generation AI software platform for automated visual quality control in the manufacturing industry. Operating directly on the production line, our solution analyzes images and detects the smallest anomalies in just 15 milliseconds.

Engineered to meet real-world manufacturing demands, DeepHawk delivers key advantages:

Precision & Speed: Pixel-level defect detection in 15 ms, with false positive rates below 1%.
Ultra-Fast Setup: Trained in just 30 minutes using 50 "OK" product images, with no need to pre-train on defect examples.
Total Flexibility: Compatible with any product, camera, or imaging type (visible spectrum, X-ray, infrared, microscopy).
Data Sovereignty: Deployed 100% on-premise (Edge) with no external cloud connection required.
Frugal & Eco-Friendly AI: Consumes 375 times fewer computing resources than traditional deep learning.

Already trusted by top manufacturers like Stellantis across Europe and North America, DeepHawk empowers quality management teams to automate visual inspections autonomously.
