Nexa Vision
Visual perception of the environment, identification and tracking of assets.

Perception, mission and operational intelligence
Logistics operations depend on knowing where assets are, in what state, and what the operation should do next. Convex develops the visual perception, localization, mission planning and telemetry layers that support that tracking.
Convex does not sell a logistics automation catalogue. What we build are the layers any physical operation depends on: visual perception, localization, mission planning, telemetry and operational intelligence about what is actually happening.

— Operational context
The operational problem
- 01Asset state out of date
Where an asset is and in what condition is usually inferred rather than observed.
- 02Limited environment perception
Physical operations change layout and occupancy continuously, and the system has to see that.
- 03Missions with no queryable state
Without a mission layer, each task becomes an isolated event with no trail.
- 04Scattered telemetry
Position and condition data live in separate systems and never form a single view.
- 05Decision detached from execution
What the software decides and what happens on the floor rarely share the same record.
— Convex architecture
From observation to action
The same architecture runs across every sector. What changes is which layer is critical and which proprietary systems take part.

Interpret
Nexa Vision
Reading of what was observed: presence, relative position and change of state.
Coordinate
Synapse Control
Mission planning, routing, telemetry and aggregate operation state.
Act
Axis
Physical execution of the planned task, returning state to coordination.
— Data layers
What feeds the pipeline
Sources compatible with the systems deployed in this sector. No layer is assumed: every monitored area declares what is actually available.
Cameras
Visual streams over points of interest in the operation.
Images
Captures bound to identification and verification events.
Localization data
Relative position of assets within the observed environment.
Telemetry
State, condition and movement of the platforms.
Mission state
Planned route, current step and execution result.
Operational history
Queryable record of past events and missions.
— Applications
Technical applications
Each application states the problem addressed, the data used, the Convex system involved and the operational output produced.
Visual asset tracking
Location and state inferred instead of observed.

- Mission queue with aggregate state and a result per execution.
Physical execution tied to the decision
Distance between what the software decides and what happens on the floor.
- Data
- Mission state and environment perception.
- System
- Axis
- Output
- Action executed with state returned to the same record.
Operational intelligence over history
Isolated events with no aggregate reading.
- Data
- Mission history, telemetry and visual events.
- System
- Nexa M1
- Output
- Consolidated reading of what happened over the observed period.
— Operational flow
One cycle, from sensor to record
- 01Capture
Visual perception records the environment and assets at the point of interest.
- 02Processing
Identification and relative position are extracted from the observation.
- 03Interpretation
Observed state is compared against the state the mission expects.
- 04Decision
Divergences raise an alert and reorder the mission queue.
- 05Action
Synapse Control coordinates the step; where applicable, Axis executes physically.
- 06Record
Mission, event and result are archived for later query.
— Deliverables
What the system delivers
Alerts
Divergence between observed and expected state.
Telemetry
Position and condition of the platforms in operation.
Planning
Mission queue with routing and sequencing.
Operational history
Queryable record of missions and events.
Reports
Period consolidation of what was executed.
— Technology stage
Maturity by capability
We separate what is in operation from what is still under development. Research and prototypes are never presented as deployed product.

— Application contexts
Application contexts
↳Distribution centres
Dense environments with constantly changing layout and occupancy. An application context, not an off-the-shelf product.
↳Yards and outdoor areas
Visual tracking of assets across wide, lightly instrumented spaces.
↳Internal movement
Repetitive trips between fixed points, well suited to planned missions.
↳Verification and dispatch
Checkpoints that need a traceable visual record.
