### Picsellia MLOps Platform
- **Centralized orchestration layer**  
  
  - Data Management: Centralize & version  
  
  - Annotation: Label & review  
  
  - Training: Build & experiment  
  
  - Deployment: Ship & monitor

### Inspection Sources
- **4 CONNECTED Devices Running Inference at the Edge**  
  - Hangar Cameras: Fixed high-res inspection stations (Latency< 30ms)  
  - Drone Inspection: Autonomous surface scanning (Latency< 50ms)  
  - Borescope Feeds: Engine internal inspection (Latency Real-time)  
  - Satellite Imagery: Airfield & facility surveys (Latency On-demand)

Continuous improvement: Inspection data → Annotation → Retraining → Deployment

## Built for aerospace operations

From MRO hangars to production lines, Picsellia powers visual inspection workflows across the aerospace industry.

### Aircraft Surface Inspection
- Detect cracks, dents, corrosion, and paint damage on fuselage and wing surfaces. Replace time-consuming walkarounds with automated visual analysis.

### Component Wear Analysis
- Monitor turbine blades, landing gear, and hydraulic systems for signs of fatigue or wear. Predict maintenance needs before failures occur.

### Foreign Object Debris (FOD)
- Detect debris on runways, taxiways, and in hangars that could cause damage to engines or airframes. Real-time alerts for ground crews.

### Assembly Verification
- Verify correct assembly of complex components, wiring harnesses, and fastener patterns. Ensure compliance with engineering specifications.

## From raw imagery to certified AI

**Four steps to transform inspection data into automated defect detection with full traceability.**

1. **Collect**  
   - Centralize all inspection imagery  
   - Aggregate images from hangar cameras, drones, borescopes, and manual inspections into a single versioned repository with full metadata.  
   - Connect any storage (S3, Azure, GCS)  
   - Auto-extract metadata & tail numbers  
   - Search by aircraft, zone, or date  
   - Version your datasets automatically

2. **Annotate**  
   - Label defects with your engineers  
   - Your MRO engineers know what a fatigue crack looks like. Capture that expertise by labeling defects in images. AI pre-annotation accelerates the process by 10x.

3. **Train**  
   - Build traceable detection models  
   - Turn labeled inspection data into AI models with full experiment tracking. Every dataset version, hyperparameter, and result is logged for auditability.

4. **Deploy**  
   - Ship models to edge devices in hangars, on drones, or via cloud APIs. Monitor performance in real-time and retrain when accuracy drifts.
