In the initial year of the project, we demonstrated the remarkable efficiency and scalability of our synthesization process, surpassing our data synthesization time objectives. We proved that using synthetic data to train vision AI models results in high-performance recognition networks. These networks were incorporated into our Proof of Concept (PoC) Demo Application, developed in the first year, showcasing our capabilities to potential customers.
In the project’s second year, we achieved significant milestones. Successful pilot trials were conducted, some of which have transitioned into paid licenses, marking a pivotal achievement. Our active participation in various fairs, including invitations from customers to jointly showcase our product, amplified our market presence. Our engagement with the press and research communities was robust, securing features in prominent general and specialized publications such as Tagesspiegel, Wirtschaftswoche, WDR, and VDM magazine, enhancing our visibility and engagement with our target audience.
Technologically, we attained a state-of-the-art visual search performance, applying innovative techniques like conditional latent diffusion models for synthetic data generation. Strategic steps were taken to protect our intellectual property, including filing a patent and securing the trademark "visual synonyms."
A crowning achievement was attaining ISO 27001:2022 certification. This certification is a testament to our steadfast commitment to data privacy and security, essential requirements in the industrial sector. It not only boosts the trust of our existing customers but also enhances our appeal to potential customers, underscoring our adherence to stringent data protection standards.
