Edge Visual Intelligence
Built for Real-World Operations
Percepta delivers actionable insights from visual data, starting with our flagship Traffic & Mobility solution. Edge-first. Privacy-preserved. Operationally reliable.
Our Story
Percepta was founded out of frustration with the status quo in traffic data collection.
Traditional surveys are expensive, time-limited, and often outdated before they reach decision-makers. Point sensors tell you how many but not what type or which direction. Plate-based systems raise privacy concerns for many applications where aggregate data would suffice.
The founder's background spans business analysis, process design, and hands-on systems engineering. That combination shaped Percepta's approach: start with the operational question, work backwards to what data you actually need, and build systems that deliver it reliably, day after day.
Every deployment is treated as a real-world test. We iterate based on what works in the field, not what looks good in a demo. The result is a platform that transport planners, highways teams, and facilities managers can depend on for evidence-based decisions.
What We Believe
Our values guide every technical decision and customer interaction.
Edge-First by Design
Processing happens on-device, not in the cloud. Your system keeps working even when connectivity drops.
Privacy-First Analytics
Aggregate insights without identification. No facial recognition, no plate reading, no tracking individuals.
Evidence Over Assumptions
Decisions backed by real data. Repeatable, measurable, defensible.
Operational Reliability
Built for real-world conditions. Health monitoring, automatic recovery, and transparent system status.
Outputs People Use
Dashboards, exports, and reports designed for action, not just data collection.
Transparent Governance
Clear data handling, configurable retention, and access controls that meet UK compliance expectations.
Why Edge, Not Cloud?
Cloud-dependent systems fail when connectivity drops. For traffic monitoring on busy junctions or remote sites, that's a serious problem.
Percepta processes video on-device. The edge device runs autonomously, storing data locally and syncing when connectivity allows. No video ever leaves the site, only anonymised counts and statistics.
This architecture delivers reliability (no cloud outages), privacy (no video transmission), and cost efficiency (no per-frame cloud processing fees).
How We Work
Pilot-Led Deployments
We start with a pilot. You see real data from your site before committing to a full deployment. No black-box promises, just evidence.
Clear Scoping
We define success upfront: what questions you need answered, what metrics matter, and how results will be delivered. No scope creep, no ambiguity.
Transparent Limitations
Every system has an operating envelope. We're upfront about conditions that affect accuracy, including low light and adverse weather, and how we handle them.
What We Build
Who It's For
Local Authorities & Highways Teams
Traffic surveys, junction analysis, and evidence for planning decisions.
Construction & Traffic Management
Monitor traffic during roadworks with real-time data.
Campuses & Venues
Non-invasive flow insights without surveillance infrastructure.
Facilities & Estate Managers
Understand utilisation patterns and optimise operations.
Privacy by Design
Non-negotiable principles
Ready to See It in Action?
We'll help you assess feasibility for your site. No obligation, just a conversation about what you need and whether Percepta is the right fit.
