Tiliter
Tiliter is a Sydney-based computer-vision company that turns ordinary camera images into structured operational data. It began by solving product recognition at retail scale - identifying fresh produce and unbarcoded goods at self-checkout with high accuracy and no stickers - and has since expanded into a broader platform of AI 'Vision Agents' for verification, inspection, counting, damage detection, OCR and cleanliness auditing across retail, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare and industrial operations.
SandStar AI Retail
SandStar AI Retail is a retail-technology company that uses computer vision, deep learning and big-data analytics to power cashierless, autonomous shopping. Founded in 2017 as YI Tunnel and rebranded to SandStar after a 2020 Series B+ round, it builds AI vending machines, pure-vision unmanned stores and smart-store analytics that recognize what shoppers pick up - no RFID tags, barcodes or sensors required - and automatically generate the bill when they walk out. Its systems are deployed across roughly 30 countries and serve dozens of global brands and Fortune 500 operators, including a Coca-Cola Smart Lounge in Beijing.
