Machine vision and industrial automation hardware for manufacturing inspection
SmartMore builds integrated machine-vision and industrial-automation hardware for factory quality control and traceability. The tech stack reveals a mature computer-vision operation: Python, OpenCV, PyTorch, and TensorFlow for model development, paired with embedded systems (Linux, RTOS, Nvidia Jetson) and real-time control protocols (EtherCAT, ROS). The hiring mix is engineering-heavy (44 of 92 roles), with active projects spanning visual inspection equipment design, robotic systems, and AI backend architecture — reflecting a shift toward software-driven automation rather than fixed hardware.
SmartMore is a hardware and software manufacturer based in Hong Kong, serving factories across China with vision-based quality control and industrial automation systems. Founded in 2019, the company operates across 501–1,000 employees with engineering-focused operations in design, embedded systems, and vision-software development. Core offerings include smart cameras, code scanners, and vision-inspection equipment, supported by in-house software stacks (Python, C++, PyTorch, OpenCV). Active product work spans collaborative and mobile robotics, standardized inspection solutions, and AI-driven image-processing backends. Sales and channel development are concurrent pain points, indicating a pivot toward indirect and partnership-driven go-to-market.
