Contractors can come in all varieties - especially engineering where often they get a bad rap for getting paid whether the problem is fixed or not. EPX stands out because our entire team comes from a startup background where something actually needs to be completed, launched, and iterated with feedback. Rather than wasting your time - we focus on reducing time to market.
It's catchy isn't it? The name is purposely vague, but internally we refer to it as Electronic Perception Experts. Our core competencies do revolve around computer vision and hardware design. Granting machines the ability to "see" what humans cannot is powerful and changes our world everyday.
Computer vision is an overly generous word that can mean many things. It refers to facial recognition, video stabilization, object tracking, and biometric scanning all the same breath (OK, there's much more than even that.) Most companies in computer vision rely on "post-processing" and "cloud support" which deliver results after the fact. Our focus is on real-time or "edge" software designed to run on mobile or embedded devices. This would include security cameras, baby cameras, or car dashcams. There are a host of considerations when designing on a system that needs consistent delivery with constrained resources. Our proprietary embedded pipeline allows us to quickly spin up relatively complex tasks and run them with low overhead on your system. So if you're working on a camera that can track bugs, or a multiple camera array that needs to measure distances, hit us up!
We have run our own operating companies before. We get it. Consultants can leave a bad taste in the mouth. This stems from the fact that they aren't invested in the success of the product or aligned with the business interests. If the company fails to execute, or if the product fails, the consultant always gets paid. Like an attorney, they come out on top whether you win or lose.We view our role in your business differently. We don't take on your project unless we know we can greatly affect the outcome. We're not talking a 10% improvement, we're talking a 2-5x increase by simply involving us in terms of time, quality, and avoiding lost revenue. We think of ourselves as technology partners.
