Project description
Visual search and synthetic images to retrieve spare parts
Identifying and retrieving spare parts quickly and efficiently is a growing necessity for the manufacturing industry. The EU-funded Nyris project proposes a visual search engine that allows any spare part to be found in manufacturers’ catalogues by simply taking or sharing an image of it. The key limitation in implementing visual searches for industrial applications is the availability of images for AI network training and indexing. While many images are publicly available for consumer retail, large manufacturers often cannot undertake the time-consuming and expensive effort of producing these images for all spare parts and machines through manual photography. Nyris is the only company in the market who can produce synthetic images from CAD data, which outperform real data in search accuracy.
Objective
Industrial manufacturers and their customers need to identify and retrieve spare parts quickly and efficiently. Our visual search engine allows any spare part to be found in manufacturers’ catalogues by simply taking or sharing an image of it. It has proven to be by far the most accurate tool compared with several large competitors. Most importantly, we can overcome the key hurdle to visual searches for industrial applications: the availability of images for AI network training. Large manufacturers struggle to undertake the time-consuming and expensive effort of producing these images for all spare parts and machines through manual photography. We are the only company in the market who can produce synthetic images from CAD data, which outperform real data in training and search accuracy. Moreover, we can onboard customers in a matter of minutes. At Nyris, we give search the power of sight.
