About CircoVision
CircoVision UG is a small family business headquartered in Borchen near Paderborn in East Westphalia. The company specialises in trialing and machine building for AI-based solutions for use cases in circular value creation. Its services include research consulting to explore suitable AI use cases, technical proof of concepts and prototyping workshops as well as the design and construction of custom industrial AI machines, hardware and software modules, and SaaS tools. The focus is on computer vision applications for repetitive visual inspection tasks, such as typing and condition assessment of used products and recyclables as well as the detection of complex anomalies. Customers include major automotive corporations as well as SMEs from industries such as waste disposal, textiles, printing, logistics, mechanical engineering and civil engineering. Managing Director Wilhelm Klat also works as a researcher at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences (Applied AI working group), where he tests the use of computer vision in regional companies.
