Applied machine intelligence

Industrial AI that starts from good.

Experiq AI builds machine intelligence for manufacturing. Our first product inspects fabric on a running line — learning from normal production, flagging what doesn't belong, and putting a person in the loop to make the call.

No defect labelsLearns from defect-free production. You don't need thousands of labelled defects to begin.
Calibrated in a dayA new line is taught from a day's worth of good cloth, not a months-long data programme.
One GPU, on siteRuns on a single workstation on the factory floor. No continuous cloud feed.
Your data stays yoursImages are processed inside the plant. Nothing leaves unless you decide it should.
01 — Platform

One product today. A platform underneath.

Fabric inspection is where we started, not where we stop. The same foundation — visual understanding, anomaly detection, edge deployment and a disciplined feedback loop — applies across any process where quality is judged by eye.

Vision

Visual understanding

Feature learning over images and video, from texture and surface defects to counting, measurement and presence checks on a moving line.

Detection

Anomaly detection

One-class methods that model what normal looks like and score everything else. Built for the real case: defects are rare, unlabelled, and nobody wants to label thousands.

Deployment

Edge & on-premise

Inference on the factory floor with modest hardware. Deterministic latency, no dependency on the plant's internet link.

Learning

Human-in-the-loop

Every operator decision — defect, good, or undecided — is recorded and fed back, so the system improves from use rather than from a one-off training run.

Engineering

Licence-clean stack

Built on permissively licensed foundations. No AGPL in anything we ship, so your legal team never has to have that conversation.

Delivery

Custom model development

Where the problem needs something the platform doesn't cover, we build it — scoped, measured, and handed over with the numbers to judge it.

02 — Products

What we ship.

Our first product is in the field. Others are in development, and we'd rather say so plainly than pad a product page.

Available for pilots

Experiq Inspect — fabric defect detection

A continuous inspection system for fabric on a running line. It learns the normal appearance of your cloth from defect-free production, scores every frame against that memory, and routes anything unusual to an operator for a decision — complete with the roll number and the metre position, so the fault can be found on the roll rather than hunted for.

Roll & metre tracking Estimated defect region Operator verify queue Good / defect / undecided Learns from every call 4-point roll scoring
In development

Surface inspection, other materials

The same one-class approach applied beyond cloth — leather hides, plywood and veneer, film, sheet metal and ceramics. Different optics, same foundation.

In development

Production analytics

Turning the inspection record into something a plant manager can act on — defect trends by shift, machine and operator, and where quality actually drifts.

Exploring

Supervised defect classification

Once enough defects have been labelled on site, naming what the defect is becomes possible — the step from "something is wrong here" to "this is a broken pick".

03 — How it works

Capture, detect, verify, learn.

A closed loop. The value isn't only in what the model finds — it's in what the plant teaches it afterwards.

Capture

An industrial camera watches the moving cloth. The line encoder gives every frame a position, so a defect is tied to a metre on a specific roll.

Detect

A one-class model compares each frame against a memory of normal cloth. Anything that doesn't fit is scored, and the likely region is marked on the image.

Verify

The operator sees the photo, the roll and the position, and answers: real defect, good cloth, or undecided. That judgement is recorded against their name.

Learn

A false alarm is folded back into the model, so the same pattern stops coming up. An undecided item comes back for someone who knows the cloth.

04 — Industries

Where eyes are still doing the work.

Anywhere quality is judged visually on a moving web or a repeating part, and defects are too rare to label.

Leather & hidesTannery surface grading, grain faults, growth marks
Plywood & panelsVeneer peeling, knots, voids, laminate surfaces
Film & packagingExtruded film, gels, holes, streaks, print faults

CeramicsTiles and sanitaryware — pinholes, glaze and surface faults
CompositesFibreglass and carbon weave, tow and layup defects
NonwovensHygiene and medical webs, continuous high-speed lines
05 — Why us

Built for the plant, not the demo.

Practical

No labelled-defect prerequisite

Supervised inspection needs thousands of labelled examples before it works. Most plants don't have them and can't afford to create them. Our approach starts from good production instead.

Honest

Numbers you can argue with

We report the false-alarm rate alongside the catch rate, and the operating point we chose to get there. A detector that catches everything by flagging everything is not a working detector.

Grounded

Deployed, not just trained

The hard parts are the ones that come after the model: optics, lighting, throughput, the operator's screen, and the shift change. We build for those.

Open

You own the outcome

Your images stay in your plant, your inspection record is yours to export, and the models we fit on your production are fit to your production — not a generic model wearing your logo.

06 — Approach

Start with one line.

We'd rather prove it on your worst line than pitch it for your whole plant.

Step one

Walk the line

We look at the process, the defects that actually cost you money, and where a camera can realistically sit. No software until that's clear.

Step two

Pilot on one line

Camera, lighting and a workstation on a single machine. We calibrate on your good production and run it against your real output.

Step three

Measure, then scale

You get the catch rate, the false-alarm rate and the cost per inspection. If the numbers work, the second line takes a fraction of the effort.

A note on honesty. Anomaly detection is very good at "this doesn't look like your normal cloth". It is not yet good at naming a defect, and it will not catch a fault it has no signal for. We'll tell you which of those you're getting, and what it would take to get the other.
07 — Deployment

What it takes to run.

CameraIndustrial machine-vision camera suited to your web width and smallest defect of interest. Resolution is driven by the arithmetic — the smallest defect you care about needs enough pixels across it to exist at all.
LightingPurpose-built LED illumination. In surface inspection this matters more than the camera, and it is designed per material.
ComputeA single GPU workstation on the factory floor. One machine can serve several cameras.
IntegrationEncoder input for position, and a screen for the operator. Optional link to your existing quality or ERP record.
NetworkRuns on the plant LAN. No continuous internet connection required.
CalibrationA set of defect-free production images from the line, captured under production lighting. Typically a day.
08 — Company

An applied AI company, starting in the mill.

What we are

Experiq AI is an applied artificial intelligence company based in [City], India. We build systems that do useful work in physical environments — where the data is messy, the hardware is fixed, and the answer has to arrive while the line is still running.

Why we started here

Fabric inspection is a problem where the technology finally meets the economics: defects are rare, the judgement is visual, the labour is skilled and scarce, and the cost of a missed defect is real. It's a good place to prove a platform — and the same foundation carries into every other surface, sheet and web.

09 — Contact
