Saccade Vision helps manufacturers to cut dramatically quality inspection costs by offering the most flexible and autonomous 3D machine vision that can be deployed by factory technicians in minutes.
Current Status
In 2022 Saccade Vision launched the MVP, performed several pilots in product, signed partnership with a partner in the EU, and announced first sales: (1) S&P500 electronics manufacturer (2) One of the world’s largest industrial machinery companies (in Germany) (3) One of the leading metalworking OEMs – the system is going to be shipped pre-integrated into the sheet bending machines. Additional pilots are under way.
In 2021 we had paid pilots with US$60,000 in revenues. We will finish 2022 with ~US$120,000 in revenues and have a forecast of US$350,000 – 400,000 for 2023.
Problem or Opportunity
Precise manufacturing companies spend up to 9% of their sales in fault prevention and quality inspection. Existing machine vision solutions often require complex integration and significant application development to get reliable results. Those indirect costs are ~ 4-5x compared to direct costs of components. This causes long manufacturing line setups and lack of flexibility.
Solution (product or service)
Saccade Vision developed Saccade-MD, an award-winning feature-based 3D camera for fast, precise, and flexible 3D quality inspection. Using edge computing and AI, Saccade-MD rapidly optimizes 3D inspection, focusing on regions of interest with high resolution and ignoring non-important locations. Such optimization allows setting up 3D inspection in minutes by factory technicians without spending time and money on complex integration.
Saccade-MD can be used for 3D inspection of critical dimensions in mechanical assembly, precise plastic parts, metal forming, e-motors, battery packs etc.
Business model
We sell our products via System Integrators & via Machine Builders to Manufacturers with a low upfront cost & ~2.5x ROI for customers.
There are 3 revenues streams: (1) non-recurring revenues from integrated sensor (2) annual software license per unit (3) SaaS for the automated CAD-to-Inspection conversion and data analytics.
