Drishti’s patent-pending action recognition technology uses computer vision and artificial intelligence for manufacturing to digitize actions performed by humans on the assembly line, as they perform them.

But don’t think of Drishti solely as an AI company. Think of us as a data company: We’re creating a massive new dataset from human activities. This helps manufacturers anchor true digital transformation strategies around augmenting — not displacing — the value contributions of the human workforce.

There are 345 million people working factory production jobs around the world. In contrast, there are ~1.5M robots, with ~250K being deployed each year. Considering that only 5.6 people are reportedly displaced by each robot, it’s clear that humans in manufacturing have a long run ahead of them.

Drishti’s mission is to create data that helps human operators and their employers break through perceived ceilings of productivity and quality.
