From raw image or video to trained model — on your terms.
Sightlinq is a vision analytics platform for teams who work with cameras in the physical world — images or continuous video. Capture from edge devices, annotate manually or let the model do it, train on your own data, and deploy back to the edge. GenAI-generated insights review your annotation quality in plain language as you go. Run fully on-premise with no data leaving your network, or connect to cloud storage and cloud AI backends for multi-site deployments — your choice, your configuration, your data.
The Problem
Most visual AI tooling assumes you have annotators, ML engineers, GPU clusters, and cloud accounts. Most engineering teams have none of these. They have a camera, a defect to detect, and a deadline.
One interface. One pipeline. Images arrive from the edge, get annotated — with increasing AI assistance each round — trained on your hardware, and deployed back to the device. No cloud account. No ML team required.
End-to-end pipeline
Every step after image capture is automated. The only human action is annotation — and by Round 4, even that is mostly reviewing what the model already got right.
No GPU required. The test above ran on a laptop CPU — Intel i7-1355U, 30 epochs, 83 minutes. The missing_hole class reached mAP50 0.894, production-quality for inline inspection — on commodity hardware.
Automated ingestion
The gap between "camera captures something" and "annotator has a task to work on" is usually filled by manual file transfers, shared drives, and someone remembering to upload. Sightlinq closes that gap entirely.
Deployment flexibility
Whether your data must never leave the building or you need to aggregate images and video from ten sites globally, Sightlinq adapts to your infrastructure — not the other way around.

System Architecture
Sightlinq runs fully on your own infrastructure — air-gapped, on-site local network, or hybrid. Storage is pluggable: swap between local folder, network share, and cloud object storage with a single configuration change. The annotation and training layers can run on-site, in a private cloud VM, or against a cloud AI backend — your choice.
Auto-label loop
Every production run makes annotation faster. The model trained on your images and video, under your lighting conditions, with your defect classes, becomes the pre-annotator for the next batch.
Generic auto-labeling services use models trained on broad public datasets — useful for common objects, useless for your specific defect types under your specific conditions. Sightlinq trains on your data. The model that pre-labels your next batch has seen hundreds of examples of your defects under your lighting. That's why correction rates drop so fast.
Enterprise model management
Sightlinq integrates MLflow — an industry-standard model registry. Every training run is automatically tracked, versioned, and auditable. Deploy with confidence. Roll back in seconds if something goes wrong.
GenAI Insights
Sightlinq doesn't just find defects — it tells you what they mean, why they happened, and what to do next. Built-in generative AI reasoning runs entirely on your hardware. Ask questions in plain English. Get answers that a quality engineer would be proud of.
Sightlinq + SchemaShifts
Sightlinq stores every detection — structured, local, customer-owned. Customers who want to go further can adopt any of the six SchemaShifts-governed databases that support native vector search. SchemaShifts governs every schema change the vision data layer requires — from the first VECTOR column to third embedding model upgrade — with an immutable audit trail throughout.
Why teams choose Sightlinq
Most visual AI tooling was built for developers with cloud accounts, ML background, and time to integrate. Sightlinq was built for engineering teams who need to ship — with what they have, where they are.
Where Sightlinq is deployed
Sightlinq was designed for the physical world — wherever cameras are deployed in operational environments where data sensitivity, connectivity, or scale makes cloud tooling impractical.
Platform Capabilities
Sightlinq covers the full lifecycle from edge capture to production model — without forcing you into a cloud subscription, a vendor's annotation format, or a training service you can't audit.
