About
At Stroma, we utilize our award-winning rugged edge processing devices, computer vision models and large language models (LLMs) to enhance safety and efficiency in manufacturing and asset-intensive industries. Our technology prevents accidents, ensures top-notch quality control, and provides our industrial LLM copilot for seamless operations.
Stroma Edge Devices, encompassing Edge Cameras and the Edge Processor, serve as advanced vision sensors that analyze worker behavior around machinery and vehicles in real time, while also inspecting assembly lines for quality control issues. The Edge Processor, a compact yet powerful mini-industrial computer, processes industrial workplace data to alert managers real-time about unsafe worker behavior, quality control problems, or any efficiency issues. Its flexible and modular design allows for the integration of various asset monitoring sensors and vision AI, delivering tailored solutions that successfully meet the complex needs of our customers in the manufacturing and asset-intensive industries.
Stroma Krait is our end-to-end industrial AI workflow engine through an intuitive, node-based interface that significantly reduces the complexity associated with deploying AI models across numerous customer sites. It grants engineering and management professionals the powerful ability to autonomously design, integrate, and execute custom industrial AI solutions with our modular edge Stroma hardware, specifically tailored to address the complex challenges in manufacturing and asset-intensive industries.
Real-Time Advanced Safety: At its core, Stroma WorkSafe is designed to be a guardian for health and safety managers. Leveraging our cutting-edge computer vision models, we're able to detect a myriad of unsafe behaviors — from fatigue and distraction to ergonomic issues and PPE violations. Our system doesn't just detect; it acts by warning employees by ensuring safety and compliance around machinery and vehicles and, if necessary, triggering e-stops. Our analytical tools empower managers to dive deep into safety data, allowing them to identify high-risk periods, optimize shifts, and ensure that teams are well-informed and trained. Every piece of information feeds into one clear goal: achieving Zero Accidents.
Automated Quality Control: Beyond safety, Stroma has ventured into ensuring every product leaving an assembly line stands as a testament to quality. Through real-time monitoring, we're ensuring flawless products, and with instantaneous feedback, discrepancies are addressed immediately, thus minimizing waste and ensuring consistent quality.
Industrial Automation: Stroma Klein, our industrial LLM, converts complex data from various documents into actionable insights. Users can ask questions in natural language and receive accurate answers from diverse data sources such as operating procedures, troubleshooting guides, and maintenance logs. It supports both structured and unstructured data, features an LLM-agnostic architecture, provides deterministic responses with source references, and offers granular enterprise access controls.
