Drishti

Drishti was an AI and computer-vision company that turned manual assembly-line activity into continuous streams of process data for discrete manufacturers. Cameras securely streamed factory-floor video into proprietary neural networks that generated cycle-time data and detected the sequence of human actions within each cycle, giving plant teams system-wide visibility into variability, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities. Founded in 2017 in Mountain View, California and backed by Emergence Capital, Drishti counted Ford, Honeywell, and Nissan among its customers before being acquired by Apple in September 2023. The company operated no public developer API, and all of its web and developer domains are now offline.

Drishti is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Ai, Manufacturing, Computer Vision, and Video Analytics.
