The Invisible Shield: How Reliable Data Acquisition Unlocks the Future of Industrial Automation
In the first article of this Computer Vision series, I mapped out the landscape of computer vision at the edge; what industrial sites are actually trying to detect, and why processing data close to the source matters so much in mining, energy, and Agtech environments. I closed with a warning: most computer vision deployments fail […]
Edge vs. Cloud: The Real Debate in Industrial Computer Vision
By Francis Latulippe, Chief Technology Officer For a long time, when people talked about computer vision in industry, they pictured highly structured assembly lines: a part passes in front of a camera, an algorithm checks that it’s compliant, then it moves on to the next one. Simple, efficient, and above all predictable. The environment was […]
Predictive Maintenance Has Left the Control Room
Real impact starts where human presence ends. A perspective by Francis Latulippe, Chief Technology Officer • May 2026 Predictive maintenance has been a buzzword for a long time. If you’ve been in industrial tech for the past decade, you’ve heard the pitch a hundred times: put sensors on your equipment, run the data through an […]
Move Now or Fall Behind: What PDAC 2026 Revealed About R&D and Time to Market
A field report by Francis Latulippe, Chief Technology Officer • March 2026 I just got back from PDAC 2026, and I have to say, the energy on that floor was invigorating. More people, more projects, more urgency. But what struck me most wasn’t the size of the booths or the scale of the announcements. It […]
