Nexa Vision
Visual perception of the environment and of inspected items, with clipping and identification.

Industrial perception and coordination
Industrial operations generate far more events than any team can watch continuously. Convex builds the visual perception, mission coordination and physical execution layers, keeping a traceable record of every inspection and every action.
Visual inspection, equipment coordination and physical execution are distinct layers that rarely talk to each other. Convex develops them as one system, with perception, mission state and a traceable record of every event.

— Operational context
The operational problem
- 01Inspection that depends on human attention
Continuous visual checking is tiring, subjective and hard to audit afterwards.
- 02Fragmented record
What was inspected, when, and with what result usually never lands in a queryable history.
- 03Manual coordination between machines
Each machine has its own panel; the aggregate state of the operation exists nowhere.
- 04Repetitive low-value tasks
Predictable routines consume operator time that could go to exceptions.
- 05Variable environment
Lighting, positioning and dirt change perception, and must be handled by the model rather than the operator.
— Convex architecture
From observation to action
The same architecture runs across every sector. What changes is which layer is critical and which proprietary systems take part.

Nexa Vision
Classification of what was observed and flagging of cases outside the expected pattern.
Coordinate
Synapse Control
Mission state, equipment telemetry and task sequencing.
Act
Axis
Physical execution of the decided task, returning state to the coordination layer.
— Data layers
What feeds the pipeline
Sources compatible with the systems deployed in this sector. No layer is assumed: every monitored area declares what is actually available.
Cameras
Image streams positioned over the inspection point.
Images
Captures bound to each inspection event and preserved for audit.
Telemetry
State, position and condition of the coordinated equipment.
Mission state
Current step, task queue and result of each execution.
Time series
How observed events evolve across shifts.
Operational history
Queryable record of what was inspected and executed.
— Applications
Technical applications
Each application states the problem addressed, the data used, the Convex system involved and the operational output produced.
Fixed-point visual inspection
Manual checking that varies between operators.
- Data
- Camera stream and images captured per event.
- System
- Nexa Vision
- Output
- Cases outside the expected pattern flagged, with the image attached to the event.
Identification and traceability
The link between item, step and result gets lost.
- Data
- Images, visual identifiers, mission state.
- System
- Nexa Vision + Synapse Control
- Output
- History queryable by item and by step of the operation.
Equipment coordination
Isolated panels with no aggregate state.
- Data
- Telemetry and mission state of the equipment.
- System
- Synapse Control
- Output
- A single view of operation state and task queue.
Execution of repetitive routines
Operator time consumed by predictable tasks.
- Data
- Environment perception and mission decision.
- System
- Axis
- Output
- Physical execution of the task with state returned.
— Operational flow
One cycle, from sensor to record
- 01Capture
The camera records the point of interest at the moment defined by the mission.
- 02Processing
Nexa Vision clips, identifies and classifies what was observed.
- 03Interpretation
The result is compared against the expected pattern for that step.
- 04Decision
Divergent cases raise an alert and enter the handling queue.
- 05Action
Synapse Control triggers the next step; where applicable, Axis executes physically.
- 06Record
Event, image and result stay on file for later audit.
— Deliverables
What the system delivers
Alerts
Notification of events outside the expected pattern.
Telemetry
State and condition of coordinated equipment.
Operational history
Auditable record of inspections and executions.
Reports
Period consolidation of observed events.
Traceability
Link between item, step, image and result.
