antıkytera
Company

From Dublin
to the world.
Since 2017.

We're a computer vision and AI company. We build systems that see something in the physical world, judge it, and turn that judgement into action — on a production line, an offshore platform, a showroom floor or a film set.

What we're actually good at

Seeing, deciding, instructing — applied where it earns its keep.

See

Detecting, recognising and measuring what a camera captures — defects, objects, contexts, people, environments.

Decide

Turning perception into a judgement: pass or fail, this part, this step, this configuration, this risk.

Instruct

Delivering that decision where it's needed — as AR on the object, a signal to a machine, or a record in your systems.

We've applied it in manufacturing and quality control, oil & gas and construction sites, automotive sales, and entertainment. The domain changes; the engineering underneath does not.

In the field

The work happens on their site, not in our office.

How we work

Four steps, and none of them start with a slide deck.

01

We start on your site

One visit, one problem, real conditions. Lighting, dust, cycle time, the people who'll actually use it — all of it is part of the spec.

02

We prove it before we build it

A narrow pilot on your own data and your own objects. If the vision doesn't hold up in your environment, you find out in weeks, not quarters.

03

We engineer for the shift, not the demo

Models, hardware, AR, and integration into the systems you already run. It has to survive Monday morning without us in the room.

04

We stay after go-live

Drift, new part numbers, new sites. Visual systems degrade quietly; ours are monitored and retrained.

What we believe

Ancient instinct, modern engineering.

Prediction is worthless until it changes an action.

The mechanism from Antikythera didn't just describe the sky — it told people when to plant, sail and gather. Every system we ship is judged the same way: did someone do something different because of it?

The hard part is the last metre.

Getting a model to 95% is a known problem. Getting the answer onto the object, in front of the right person, at the right second, in a place with bad light and no signal — that's the engineering.

New ways of thinking beat more compute.

Most of our breakthroughs came from reframing the question, not from a bigger model. We invent around constraints because our customers live inside them.

Timeline

Two thousand years, one direction.

c. 100 BC

Off Antikythera, someone builds a bronze machine that reads the sky and hands back a usable answer. We take the name, and the brief.

Work with us

Bring us something you need a machine to see.

A line, a site, a showroom, a set. If a camera can look at it, there's usually a decision hiding in it.
