Ussop is a premium, production-ready AI visual inspection system that combines high-speed object detection (Faster R-CNN) with precise edge segmentation (NanoSAM) to automate quality control in industrial manufacturing environments—all engineered to run exceptionally fast on standard CPUs.
✅ CPU-Only — No GPU required, runs on standard industrial PCs ✅ Fast Deployment — Hours to deploy, not months ✅ Precise Segmentation — SAM masks enable accurate measurements ✅ Cost-Effective — 1/3 the price of competitors like Cognex ✅ Industrial Grade — Modbus TCP, MQTT, OPC-UA, REST API ✅ Production Ready — 70+ API endpoints, JWT auth, audit logging ✅ Premium UI/UX — Modern 'OS-in-Browser' TypeScript dashboard with fluid light & dark modes ✅ Real-Time Telemetry — Live WebSockets rendering advanced Chart.js KPI analytics ✅ Multi-Station Fleet — Centralized panoramic overview across all connected production lines ✅ AI Query — Natural language questions about your inspection data ✅ On-Device Retraining — Fine-tune models from active-learning annotations
Frontend (OS-in-Browser UI)
- React 18 (Vite + TypeScript)
- Tailwind CSS (Custom Olive Brand Tokens, Fluid Typography, 12px Radii System)
- Radix UI & Phosphor Icons (Accessible, Premium Aesthetics)
- Chart.js (Real-time Analytics, Scatter Plots & Pareto Visualizations)
Backend (Performant Web Engine)
- FastAPI (Async, high-throughput REST + WebSockets)
- SQLAlchemy & Alembic (Robust ORM & Database Migrations)
- PyJWT (Secure RBAC Authentication & Session Management)
- Redis & Prometheus (Caching and Real-time Telemetry)
AI & Computer Vision Core
- PyTorch & OpenVINO (CPU-Optimized Inference Engine)
- Faster R-CNN (Real-time Defect Object Detection)
- NanoSAM (Sub-millisecond Instance Segmentation)
- Transformers/VLM (Natural Language Scene Understanding)
