Platform

The system of operations between your ERP and your BI.

Your ERP records what was booked. Your BI analyses what happened. Neither tells you what is happening now, or what to do about it. Canvas resolves that from your own systems, and acts on it.

Demo data

Where Canvas sits

Three systems, three jobs.

Canvas does not replace your ERP or your BI. It sits between them and is fed by everything that happens on site.

Where Canvas sitsThe ERP is the system of record. Business intelligence is the system of analysis. Canvas sits between them as the system of operations, and is fed by sensing inputs and operational systems.SYSTEM OF RECORDERPWhat was booked, bought and paid.Stays where it is.SYSTEM OF OPERATIONSCanvasWhat is actually happening, resolvedfrom your systems, and acted on.SYSTEM OF ANALYSISBICharts and models over data.Canvas data can be read from Power BI.FEEDING CANVASCameras, vision inputs, building systems, sensors, shop-floor files

Capabilities

What Canvas does.

One platform. Each capability is part of the same resolved picture.

Sensing inputs

Sensing feeds Canvas. It is not the product.

Corvus, Vailient Plates and Faces turn cameras you already own into structured events. Those events arrive in Canvas next to your building systems and business systems, and Canvas does the rest.

  • Corvus: detection on existing cameras
  • Vailient Plates: licence plate reads
  • Faces: face recognition events
