Vision AI specialist Jidoka Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with Adelaide-based Power Tech Energy to deploy Australia-specific, edge-AI inspection and safety solutions across South Australia’s factories and industrial sites, in a collaboration facilitated by growth advisory firm Emertel.
Jidoka’s platform combines deep learning with purpose-built edge computing hardware to deliver real-time defect detection, process monitoring and compliance checks on production lines.
The company says its systems have captured defects with 99.9 per cent accuracy at line speeds of up to 12,000 parts per minute, helping manufacturers reduce manual inspection, cut errors and lift workplace compliance. Running at the edge is designed to improve throughput, lower latency, and strengthen data security.
Under the agreement, Power Tech Energy will handle local implementation, integration and ongoing support for Jidoka’s systems across sectors, including manufacturing, energy and infrastructure. The company brings experience in automation, IoT and renewable energy projects, positioning it to tailor deployments to local operating conditions and safety standards.
Jidoka CEO Sekar Udayamurthy said, “Sustainability, quality and safety are foundational to both our missions.”
“By partnering with Power Tech Energy, we’re bringing Jidoka’s Vision AI directly to South Australia’s industrial sector, helping businesses not only comply with safety regulations but lead in creating zero-tolerance environments for defects and ensuring ‘first time right’ processes.”
