What changes when it is chemicals & process industry

Orqent Labs builds computer vision for manufacturing, safety and retail operations, reported honestly per class rather than as a single flattering accuracy number.

In chemicals & process industry, process safety and environmental compliance dominate every operating decision. That single fact reshapes how computer vision has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is batch record documentation, usually integrated against DCS. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Can AI optimise our process parameters?

Where historian data is rich enough, yes, and always as recommendations to operators rather than direct control, unless your safety case explicitly permits otherwise.

How do you handle safety-critical systems?

We do not put AI in the safety instrumented path. Advisory and monitoring roles only, with the existing safety systems untouched.

How much training data do we need?

It depends on defect variability, but a few hundred well-labelled examples per class is a realistic starting point. We design the collection protocol first so the data you gather is actually usable.

Does it run without internet?

Yes. We deploy at the edge with offline tolerance, syncing results when connectivity returns, essential in most plant environments.

What accuracy can we expect?

We report precision and recall per defect class against a held-out set from your line, rather than a single headline number. The honest figure varies by class and we show which ones are hard.

Computer Vision for chemicals & process industry, worth a conversation?

Tell us the workload and the regulation it sits under. We will tell you what is realistic.
