Collect
Acquire matter
Collect samples or observations from air, liquids, surfaces and other environments using appropriate collection and sample-handling components.
Universal Multipurpose Matter DeTection AI
Detect matter.
Understand it.
Act intelligently.
UMMDA is DeTection Inc.'s configurable technology platform for collection, sensing, imaging, automated control, detection, identification and classification of matter and microorganisms.
Technology platform
From collection to detection to intelligent response.
The UMMDA architecture is designed to connect physical sample collection with imaging or sensing, software and algorithmic analysis, automated controls, alerts, and stationary or mobile platforms. Implementations can be configured for the target matter, environment and validation requirements.
Detect & identify
Analyze the sample
Use imaging, enlargement, sensing, software and algorithms to detect, identify or classify target matter and microorganisms.
Automate
Connect results to action
Use control systems to connect detection results with alerts, robots, drones, vehicles or other automated systems where appropriate.
Automated workflow
A configurable end-to-end architecture.
1. COLLECTAir, liquid, surface or environment
2. PROCESSPrepare and route the sample
3. DETECTImage, sense and observe
4. IDENTIFYSoftware and algorithmic classification
5. RESPONDAlert, control or automated action
