These terms cover AIChamp's loss check, loss report, digital twin and robot trials for manufacturing plants. They apply when you book a loss check or let us capture footage at your site. A signed project agreement or NDA with your company takes priority over these terms where the two differ.
01What we provide
Depending on what you choose, AIChamp may:
- record agreed areas of your production line with cameras placed alongside it, without stopping production;
- deliver a loss report that estimates the cost of scrap, rework, bad batches, mis-grades and similar losses;
- build a digital twin: a computer simulation of one or more stations, their items, layout and cycle times;
- invite robot software companies to train and test in that simulation against a target you set; and
- coordinate a pilot on your real floor with a robot maker and a local installer, under a separate written agreement.
We do not manufacture or sell robots. We are not your installer or systems integrator unless a signed agreement says so.
02Shared and Private options
You choose one option in writing before any camera goes up.
The loss check, report, twin and robot trials in simulation are provided at no charge. De-identified scenes may be licensed to robotics and AI companies for training and testing, and you receive a revenue share.
A fixed fee, quoted in writing. Nothing is shared outside the project. Footage and the twin are used only to deliver your project.
03Your data and footage
You keep ownership of your footage, production data and process information ("Your Data"). You give AIChamp a limited license to use Your Data to deliver the project you chose.
Under Shared, you also give AIChamp a non-exclusive license to create and license de-identified scenes from Your Data. Before any scene leaves the project:
- faces and identifying marks are blurred;
- your company name, brands, customers and location are removed;
- recipes, formulas, prices and customer information are excluded; and
- you can review the scenes and block any clip.
Under Private, AIChamp does not license, sell or share Your Data with anyone outside the project, and does not use it to train products for others.
Access to Your Data is limited to people working on your project. We do not sell Your Data to advertisers or data brokers.
05The twin and reports
You may use the loss report and any delivered twin for your own operations. Under Private, the twin built from your site is assigned to you once fees are paid, and you control any licensing of it.
AIChamp keeps ownership of its own software, tools, methods and general know-how, including improvements that do not contain Your Data.
06On-site capture and safety
We place cameras only in areas you approve and follow your site's safety, security and visitor rules. You remain in control of your site, equipment and staff. Our team will not operate your machinery.
Where footage cannot be uploaded, we may collect it on encrypted drives that stay under our control and are wiped after transfer.
07Workers and privacy
You are responsible for telling your workers about recording and getting any notices or consents required where your site is located. We will help with a plain-language notice.
We record stations and materials, not people. Faces are blurred before footage is used for analysis or shared. We do not collect biometric identifiers or use footage to identify, rate or discipline individual workers.
08Robot companies and vendors
Robot software companies, robot makers and installers are independent third parties. AIChamp does not guarantee their products or work. Any purchase, lease, installation or warranty is between you and that vendor, under their terms.
Third parties training in your twin receive only what your chosen option allows, under written confidentiality obligations.
09Fees and pilots
The loss check is free. Under Private, the fee for the report and twin is quoted in writing before work starts.
A pilot on your real floor, and any full deployment, are agreed separately in writing. That agreement sets the task, the target (for example accuracy at line speed), who pays for equipment and installation, and what happens if the target is met or missed.
10Estimates, not guarantees
Loss figures, savings, payback periods and simulation results are estimates based on the footage and data available. Real results depend on your operations and can differ. Sample reports and calculator figures on our website are illustrations, not results from a real client.
11Confidentiality
Each side keeps the other's non-public information confidential and uses it only for the project. We sign an NDA with you before any camera goes up. These duties continue for three years after the project ends, and indefinitely for trade secrets such as recipes and formulas.
12Liability
To the extent the law allows, neither side is liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or lost production. AIChamp's total liability for a project is limited to the fees you paid for it in the prior twelve months, or $10,000 under the Shared option. These limits do not apply to breaches of confidentiality, misuse of the other side's data, or anything that cannot be limited by law.
13Ending the project
Either side can end a project with written notice. When a project ends, AIChamp deletes Your Data from its systems within 30 days, except scenes already licensed under Shared and records we must keep by law. You keep the report and anything already delivered and paid for. On request, we confirm deletion in writing.
14Governing law and changes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts in San Francisco, California, unless your project agreement says otherwise.
We may update these terms. Changes do not affect a project already under a signed agreement. The effective date at the top shows the current version.
