PERCEPTION

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.

The problem

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.

The solution

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.

Capabilities

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.

Impact

Catch defects before they cost

Line speed grading of every green and fired piece
Fewer downgrades shipped and returned to customers
Consistent grading that doesn't drift shift to shift
In the ecosystem

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.

Deployment

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.”

Vitreo FAQ

Answers for plant leaders

Can Vitreo grade green pieces, not just fired?
Yes. Grading green pieces before they're fired is a core capability, it lets the plant catch problems before energy and glaze are spent.
How does it link a defect to its cause?
Vitreo labels each fired outcome and correlates it with upstream body, press, dryer, glaze, and firing telemetry, so quality teams see the cause, not just the symptom.
What hardware does it run on?
Vitreo runs plant-edge on Jetson Orin plus RTX with DeepStream and TensorRT. GPU inference at line speed is essential to the workload.
