Solidigm Introduces New AI Vision Platform, the Luceta AI Software Suite

Unique AI Software Platform Enables Enterprises to Build, Deploy, and Improve Visual Models Quickly Across Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail, and Other Industries

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solidigm, a pioneer in enterprise data storage, today announced the launch of the Luceta^TM AI Software Suite, a breakthrough AI vision platform that solves the core challenges plaguing traditional computer vision applications for quality and inspection.

“The Luceta AI Software Suite is designed to make visual AI practical and accessible for the teams closest to the data, while remaining powerful enough to improve efficiency of data science teams,” said A.J. Camber, Vice President of the AI Software Business Group, Solidigm.

“Our new software closes this gap by enabling faster data preparation and cleaning, model creation, deployment, and rapid continuous improvement in a production environment. Accelerated annotation capabilities and seamless integration across the data life cycle can enable anyone to quickly deploy new models directly at the edge, where data is generated and decisions need to happen,” Camber said.

Today many critical decisions still rely on manual inspection that can be slow, inconsistent, and typically limited in accuracy. Traditional machine vision systems lack flexibility and can have challenges — from rule sets that break with minor variations to lengthy programming needs for each new product setup or adjustment. Additionally, alternative AI approaches to date often require months of custom, specialized development from a computer engineer.

As enterprises across industries rapidly find new ways to collect and take advantage of visual image and video data, the applications for Luceta software rapidly expand. Example Industrial quality inspection and anomaly detection applications include:

• Manufacturing: looking for defects in ‘orange peel’ in automotive paint, weld quality, apparel and textiles, rubber or plastic mold injection, and cracks or dents in metal stamping at line speed.
• Safety and compliance monitoring: the detection of personal protective equipment compliance (hard hat or gloves) or detecting pedestrians near forklifts at blind corners.
• Logistics and warehouse: counting applications to ensure ‘ship to order’ verifications and receiving mismatch reconciliation.

Designed for Everyone

Early Luceta customer feedback demonstrates its ease of use with how quickly non-data science users can realize value. One manufacturing customer using the newly installed platform produced their first inspection model with Luceta achieving more than 90 percent precision within two weeks. After initial deployment, the same user is now able to generate new inspection models in minutes, adapting to new conditions and use cases.

The Luceta AI Software suite is comprised of multiple integrated modules:

• Data agent – Automatically filters, groups, and annotates production images, turning raw data into labeled datasets without a lot of extra effort;
• Model agent – Generates inspection models based on use case requirements, abstracting machine learning complexity while remaining extensible for data scientists;
• Pipeline Manager – Deploys models directly to edge devices, integrating with existing cameras and operational workflows; and
• Adaptive agent – Continuously improves models from production data and user feedback without manual retraining workflows.

Key technical advantages of the new platform include:

• Accessible to a wide range of user expertise while providing full extensibility for data scientists;
• Edge-first architecture processes data locally, eliminating data transfer latency, costs, and privacy concerns;
• Fully automated data selection and model convergence using generative AI techniques; and
• Hybrid cloud strategy leverages cloud resources as elastic compute only when needed.

Solidigm is now making available risk-free Luceta proof-of-concepts with hardware kits. For more information, visit https://www.solidigm.com/products/software/ai-software.html.
