Customer Success Story : Apollo Plus-Goldeneye Smart Vision

With Scaleway, it’s an 80% performance gain thanks to great products, easy-to-understand budgets, and liberated investment capabilities, says Apollo Plus. Their partnership enables us to innovate faster while maintaining our commitment to reducing environmental impact.

About the Company

Apollo Plus is the creator of the Goldeneye Smart Vision solution, which leverages advanced machine learning and AI to revolutionize fabric quality control. Designed for the Ready-To-Wear industry, Goldeneye ensures precise and consistent detection of even the most subtle defects in fabrics and complex patterns. By digitizing entire rolls of fabrics and skins in high definition, the solution provides real-time, detailed analysis directly within production facilities.

Challenges

As pioneers in automated textile defect detection, Apollo Plus faced the challenge of managing vast amounts of high-definition data generated by optronic systems—capturing kilometers of fabric in astonishing detail. Scaleway’s innovative solutions empowered us to overcome these hurdles and drive measurable results. They had a need in data management & cost optimization : the sheer volume of high-definition fabric scans required a smarter, cost-effective way to store and retrieve data. They also needed to rapidly test and refine AI models for defect detection demanded significant computational power and adaptability.

Results

By implementing a tiered storage strategy with Scaleway’s Object Storage for hot data and C14 Cold Storage for less frequently accessed information, they reduced storage costs by 30% and improved data retrieval efficiency. Leveraging Scaleway’s GPU products allowed Goldeneye to adopt a 'fail fast' approach in the R&D. This flexibility resulted in 80% performance gains in AI processing tasks, dramatically enhancing the speed and accuracy of defect detection algorithms.

Future Plans

Apollo Plus is dedicated to expanding the reach and impact of Goldeneye Smart Vision solution. They aim to extend their presence into new industries and regions, enabling a broader audience to benefit from their advanced defect detection technology. Their efforts focus on refining AI algorithms to further accelerate defect detection and testing new models to accommodate diverse materials such as leather and technical fabrics, ensuring versatility across the textile industry. To support their growing operations, they are enhancing the infrastructure with Scaleway’s scalable cloud solutions, ensuring robust and efficient performance.
