Client

The client operates in face-recognition technology for access-oriented environments, including ticketing, credentialing, and frictionless workflows. Estigiti was brought in where concept-level promise had to turn into a more credible edge-device path.

Objectives

The brief was to narrow the platform decision, adapt the CV/ML pipeline to edge targets, and support integration choices early enough that the programme did not drift into expensive guesswork. The work also needed to support both greenfield and brownfield environments.

Challenges

Figuring out  which edge platforms made sense, how a working CV/ML pipeline should be moved onto them, and how the resulting system would connect into existing or newly built environments without becoming fragile.

Solution

Estigiti supported the client through a consulting focused on technical direction. That included recommendations on edge platforms and devices, porting of the CV/ML pipeline, R&D around pipeline architecture and model quantisation, benchmarking work, and embedded systems consulting around integration paths.

That made the engagement particularly useful as a transition layer between an algorithmic capability and a deployable device direction. Instead of treating the work as model tuning in isolation, the scope stayed tied to target platforms, system fit, and the practical realities of integrating face biometrics into access workflows.

Results & Benefits

Clearer platform direction

Better visibility into which device paths were worth backing.

More credible edge path

The CV/ML pipeline was treated as something that had to fit a constrained device.

Lower integration uncertainty

Early support covered both new-system and existing-system constraints.

Stronger technical basis for next steps

The team had a more practical starting point for deeper implementation work.
