AI Vision: Precision for Logistics & Production
We develop systems that see, understand, and decide – for industrial vision in logistics and production. From feasibility analysis to commissioning: tailored, efficient, proven.
These companies trust the Edge of the Pixel
Our Story
PixelEdge is a spin-off from bci gmbh, which has been developing software for industry and logistics for decades. We maintain a close relationship with bci and benefit from our shared experience. Since 2023, PixelEdge from Hannover has been your partner for industrial vision. We specialize in implementing tailored solutions – from feasibility analysis through software development to system integration and commissioning.
From early projects to renowned customers like EDEKA and Gebinde Logistik Center: our focus is on logistics and production. We work with leading hardware manufacturers – Keyence, LMI, IDS, Zebra, HikRobot and more – and deploy the latest methods in vision and AI.
Short and personal: as a specialized unit – directly from the founders, no long approval chains. Your challenges are our mission.

Technology Without Compromise
We believe in full control. While others rely on standard solutions, we develop our AI models 100% in-house. For you this means: No dependencies, no license risk, and maximum cost efficiency.
In-House Models
Every algorithm in ScanGate, Edge.Count, and Edge.Trace comes from our own development. We do not use black-box software from third parties. This allows us to train the AI precisely for your logistics use cases.
Zero License Fees
Our technology belongs to us – and thus to you. There are no hidden costs or annually increasing license fees for external AI engines. You invest in a solution that remains economically viable and adds no third-party variables to your budget.
Free Hardware Choice
Because our software is universal, we are not tied to specific manufacturers. We integrate the sensors that are technically best suited for your environment – without software lock-in from hardware vendors.
Projects that speak for us
Results over promises – that counts.

Automated Anonymization in Live Operation
Especially with ScanGate solutions or Edge.Count in outdoor areas, contact with persons cannot always be avoided. Our AI models automatically protect the privacy of your employees and external partners (e.g. freight drivers).
- Real-time pixelation: Persons in the sensors' field of view are detected in milliseconds and irreversibly pixelated before any storage or analysis takes place.
- Privacy by Design: Protecting personal data is not an add-on but deeply embedded in the logic of our in-house models.
- On-Edge sovereignty: Since all processing takes place locally on the hardware, no non-anonymized image data leaves your site.
- Legally compliant logistics: We enable the use of state-of-the-art AI systems even in areas with high foot traffic, without conflicts with works councils or GDPR.
EDEKAThe biggest advantage from our perspective is that mixed roll containers/pallets are counted within the shortest time, allowing us to significantly relieve our staff
Proven Innovation from the Field
Our solutions are not designed on the drawing board but in our customers' halls. Thanks to numerous successfully implemented projects in logistics and production, best practices flow directly into the development of ScanGate, Edge.Count, and Edge.Trace.
AI with Project DNA
Our algorithms for 2D and 3D vision are "project-hardened." Whether deep learning for crate counting or complex quality inspections – we bring expertise from diverse use cases so your AI solution runs reliably from day one.
Integration Expertise
Hardware integration means more to us than just plugging in. Through our work with hardware manufacturers like Keyence, LMI, IDS, Zebra, HikRobot and more, we know the pitfalls of PLC and SAP integration. We use proven standards that perform in real industrial environments.
Security Without Cloud Lock-in
Maximum control over your data is not a feature – it's our standard. Our on-premise solutions are based on feedback from security-critical projects. We protect your sensitive process data right where it originates – in your production.
Organic substance over quick promises
PixelEdge is founder-led and financially independent. We focus on organic growth because we believe in solutions that last. Our focus is not on maximizing headcount but on maximizing the precision of our AI systems.
