Building on its expertise in AI for augmented reality in sports, combined with strong capabilities in image processing, embedded hardware, and IoT software, DELTATEC is proud to provide industrial AI services to its customers.
At DELTATEC, AI is neither a black box nor a passing trend — technology we deeply understand and engineer to solve real-world challenges. Leveraging our in-depth knowledge of neural network architectures, DELTATEC designs and optimizes cutting-edge models using state-of-the-art techniques to deliver highly effective, tailored solutions. All our models are built with deployment in mind, including on custom or resource-constrained embedded hardware.
In industrial vision, publicly available datasets are often scarce, and building custom datasets from scratch can be complex, costly, and time-consuming. To address this, DELTATEC has developed a unique capability: the large-scale generation of realistic, auto-annotated synthetic datasets. These can serve as complete training sets, augment real-world data, or provide a robust pre-training foundation that can be fine-tuned with fewer real samples.
Our experience also extends to managing the unpredictability of real-world environments. In industrial settings, conditions are rarely ideal — lighting varies, image noise appears, dust accumulates, and optical distortions occur. DELTATEC’s solutions are designed to perform reliably in these challenging, non-laboratory conditions.
NewSpace, industrialization: paradigm shift and necessary adaptation of Walloon ecosystems
AWEX: Space has changed a lot in recent years and continues to evolve. What is your corporate view of the sector?
EC: We see a major evolution: access to space is industrialising. Still partially public, but increasingly private. For a long time, space was the realm of agencies and (inter)national institutional missions. Today, private actors launch satellite constellations for commercial purposes. For us, this changes everything! Previously, demand was rather cyclical — depending on academic or institutional projects. Now, demand is becoming constant. Development needs are recurring, products are standardizing, cycles are accelerating — and ultimately, the return on investment is potentially faster.
AWEX: Is this shift good for business?
EC: For us — yes. We started our space-related activities in 2005. We combine solid industrial experience — in volume and efficiency — with institutional space experience, working with partners very demanding in terms of reliability. This dual expertise puts us in an ideal position today: we understand the needs of New Space actors while meeting the strict criteria of institutional missions.
This is a real revolution for the sector, and it is motivating for a company like ours.
AWEX: What is the place of Walloon companies in the international aerospace industry?
EC: It’s often not well known, but Wallonia has a complete space ecosystem. We have platform suppliers, companies specialized in optics, electronics, cryogenics, environmental test centers, as well as data-analysis experts. Together, the region covers all the skills needed to carry out a space mission from end to end.
That strengthens our credibility and visibility internationally, but also represents an asset for European technological sovereignty.
AWEX: Finally, you have a lot of export experience. What advice would you give to a company that wants to (re)develop its products for aerospace?
EC: The first advice I’d give is to emphasize experience. In space, clients look first at the technology readiness level (TRL). You need to show what has already been done, what has already been tested, and what has already flown. That is what creates credibility.
Second, highlight the sovereignty of your technology. Today, that matters a lot. “Made in Europe” is a strong argument on our continent, and remains for others a label of reliability and quality. For our part, we always favor European solutions — notably by avoiding ITAR-controlled components (from the United States) when a project requires it.
Finally, have a clear positioning. At DELTATEC, we focus our efforts on two axes: imaging and embedded data-processing systems. This specialization makes us visible and credible in a sector in full growth.
