Bringing intelligence to the factory floor
Simms helps system integrators, software companies and OEMs turn these opportunities into deployable solutions, bringing together the edge computing, vision technology and industrial hardware needed to make intelligent manufacturing a reality.
Where Edge AI makes a difference
Enabling smarter, safer, and more efficient manufacturing through real-time intelligence.
Quality & defect detection
Enable automated inspection of products, materials and components using AI-powered vision systems. Identify defects, inconsistencies and anomalies during production, helping manufacturers improve quality control and reduce manual inspection.
Process automation
Support more efficient production processes through real-time object recognition, counting, classification and automated decision-making. Edge AI hardware can help existing manufacturing equipment become more responsive, adaptable, and safer.
Production monitoring
Our solutions give manufacturers greater visibility into their production environments. Edge-based intelligence can help detect operational abnormalities, monitor equipment conditions and provide timely insights to support process improvements.
Robotics & machine vision
Help industrial robots interpret and interact with their surroundings using advanced vision and depth-sensing technologies through our edge AI hardware. Enable applications that require accurate object positioning, spatial awareness and intelligent machine interaction.
Helping innovators behind intelligent manufacturing
Deliver more intelligent automation solutions and projects
You understand the manufacturing challenge. We help you identify and source the hardware needed to deliver the solution.
Give your AI software a hardware foundation for the industrial edge
You build the intelligence. We help you identify the edge computing and vision platforms needed to run it in production.
Build hardware intelligence into your next product
You design the machinery. We help you evaluate and integrate the hardware needed to make it more intelligent.
Our approach and value
Building an intelligent manufacturing solution involves more than selecting an AI processor or camera. The entire hardware architecture must support the application, integrate with existing industrial systems and remain reliable throughout deployment.
Simms helps simplify that journey, combining hardware expertise, specialist manufacturers and dependable supply to help innovators move confidently from development to deployment.
