Why PyTorch for this
Precision and recall are a trade-off you own, not one we should pick quietly. A false reject costs throughput; a missed defect reaches a customer. We tune to the balance your business can live with.
PyTorch is strongest at flexibility and the widest availability of pretrained models. For computer vision that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: production serving needs deliberate optimisation work beyond the training code. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

We are not a reseller for Meta and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.

- Integration with MES, PLC or alerting systems
- Retraining pipeline as conditions drift
Questions
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.
Alternatives for computer vision
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
