your parts. your process. your ip. kept on your plant floor — not in someone else’s cloud.
why detect-it
If you've evaluated AI vision software before, you've heard the pitch: send us your data, pay us monthly, and trust that your model — and your trade secrets — are safe somewhere you can't see. Detect-It was built on the opposite premise. Here's exactly what that means, and why it matters more than it might seem at first.
what “built different” actually means
six reasons
behind your firewall — for real
Net Builder and Net Runner are not cloud solutions. They run entirely on local PCs and edge devices you own, with zero internet connection required to build or deploy. Your part designs, your defect patterns, your proprietary processes never leave your building — not as a policy promise, but as an architectural fact.
VS. CLOUD AI: YOUR DATA, YOUR IP, YOUR PARTS, ON THEIR SERVERS
zero code, not “low code”
If you can take a video and draw a box, you have every skill needed to build a working AI net. No Python, no C++, no data science degree, no IT department standing between your operators and a working inspection system.
VS. COMPETITORS REQUIRING ML ENGINEERS ON STAFF
your ip, with no asterisk
Every net you build belongs to you outright — patent it, license it, lease it. Detect-It has no claim on the models you create, no usage-based clawback, and no terms of service that quietly grant us rights to what you've built.
VS. PLATFORMS THAT RETAIN RIGHTS TO YOUR MODELS
video data, not stacks of thousands of images
Most AI vision platforms still want you to collect and individually label thousands of still images. Detect-It trains from video — shoot one clip, and built-in trackers auto-label hundreds of frames in minutes getting your AI models on the floor fast.
VS. WEEKS OF MANUAL IMAGE COLLECTION AND LABELING
any camera. any pc. no lock-in.
Detect-It runs on any off-the-shelf camera and any PC with an NVIDIA GPU. No proprietary smart cameras, no specialized edge hardware sold at a markup, no vendor lock-in on equipment you're forced to buy from us.
VS. PROPRIETARY HARDWARE SOLD AT A MARKUP
works without an internet connection
Build, train, and deploy with no internet connection at all. No subscriptions to lapse, no APIs to go down, no dependency on a vendor's uptime — for facilities with strict network isolation requirements, this isn't a nice-to-have.
VS. CLOUD-DEPENDENT PLATFORMS THAT REQUIRE CONSTANT CONNECTION
detect-it vs. cloud ai vision platforms
side by side
Everything above describes Detect-It's on-premises platform — the way it works today, and the deployment most of our manufacturing, aerospace, and defense customers rely on. We're also building a cloud-based version of Detect-It, designed for smaller manufacturers who want the same coder-free AI vision without the upfront license investment. If lower cost of entry matters more to you than on-prem data control, get in touch — we'll let you know when it's available.
