The constraint changes shape by sector — a frame budget here, a milliwatt budget there, a regulated accuracy floor somewhere else — but the engineering underneath is the same.
Ports, terminals & rail logistics
Gate and portal automation where a box does not stop and a misread costs a person an afternoon. Container and wagon identity, damage and seal evidence, hazmat placards, and truck-to-box correlation — feeding the terminal system as structured events rather than photographs somebody has to look at.
Traffic, tolling & access control
Plate recognition for open-road tolling, car parks, gated sites and enforcement, running on the pole rather than in a control room. Designed for the lane where the light is bad, the plate is dirty and the connection is not guaranteed.
Industrial & machine vision
Inspection and metrology pipelines where a line rate is a commercial commitment. Deterministic latency, repeatable results and graceful behaviour when the part on the belt is not the part in the training set.
Smart cameras & IoT
Always-on detection in a milliwatt budget: cascaded models, wake-on-motion, on-sensor pre-processing and models small enough to live in SRAM.
Automotive & ADAS
Perception stacks inside a fixed frame budget — lane and object detection, driver monitoring, surround view and sensor fusion on automotive SoCs, with determinism and safety-process evidence in mind.
Defence & aerospace
Signal and image processing for constrained, ruggedised and often air-gapped platforms. On-premises engagement, contracting entity and jurisdiction to suit your procurement, and code handed over in full.
Working with a Chennai research lab
AI ThinkLab is an independent private limited company registered in Chennai, in the middle of India’s densest cluster of automotive, semiconductor and embedded-systems R&D. That makes procurement straightforward for Indian buyers, and for international clients it means specialist research engineering at Indian rates, in a time zone that overlaps most of the European and Asian working day.
We work under mutual NDA as a matter of course, and can operate on-premises or on isolated infrastructure where the work requires it.
