Vitreo
See every defect before it costs you.
Plant-edge vision that grades green and fired defects, tone, caliber, and planarity at line speed, and links them to the cause.
Sorting is the biggest manual quality burden
Tone and caliber sorting is one of the largest manual quality burdens in ceramics, and green and fired defects often surface only at the end of the line, after energy and glaze are already spent. Fixed-threshold scanners miss subtle tone and planarity variation, can't grade green pieces, and never connect what they see to the firing or body that caused it. Sorters are a scarce, aging craft whose judgment drifts shift to shift.
Perception that grades and explains
Vitreo inspects green and fired pieces at line speed with high-speed multi-camera and profile sensing, grading defects, tone, caliber, and planarity, and predicting downgrade risk before a piece reaches the end of the line. It doesn't just measure, it labels the fired outcome and links it back to the body, press, dryer, glaze, and firing conditions, feeding Kilnex's twin and driving Sortiq's robotic decisions.
- Green & fired defectsDunting, cracks, pinholes, crawling, and warpage detection.
- Tone, caliber & planarityGrades subtle shade and dimensional variation a scanner misses.
- Root-cause linkingTies each defect back to body, press, dryer, glaze, and firing.
What Vitreo sees
GPU-accelerated vision on Jetson Orin plus RTX, running DeepStream and TensorRT at line speed.
Multi-camera + profile
High-speed sensing across the line grades every piece, not a sample.
Downgrade prediction
Flags downgrade risk before the piece reaches the end of the line.
Cause attribution
Links fired outcomes to upstream body, press, dryer, glaze, and kiln.
Catch defects before they cost
How Vitreo connects
Vitreo is the perceive layer of the loop. Its labels are the ground truth that trains Kilnex's twin, and its per-piece grades drive Sortiq's robotic sorting decisions, so perception, simulation, and action all share the same view of quality.
Getting Vitreo live
A paid pilot on one line, a hard metric, then expansion.
Line integration
Mount cameras and profile sensors on the target green or fired line.
Grade calibration
Calibrate to your tone, caliber, and defect standards from real pieces.
Live grading
Grade every piece and predict downgrade risk at line speed.
Feed the loop
Labels train Kilnex and drive Sortiq automatically.
“It grades every piece the way our best sorter does on their best day, and it does it every shift, and tells us why.”
