Concrete scenarios

From city streets to garrison tracks.

Use case 01

City Marathons & Mass-Participation Sport

The challenge

Distributing 30,000+ single-use RFID chips, setting up bulky timing mats across wide avenues, and dealing with missed reads during cluster finishes.

The solution

A rapid-deploy Vision Miles optical camera tripod that reads bibs at 120 FPS across an open street - RFID-free, mat-free, with zero chip distribution logistics.

Use case 02

High-Density Stadium Track Events

The challenge

Millisecond accuracy requirements where physical mats interfere with track surfaces.

The solution

Ultra-high frame rate optical timestamping linked directly to localized edge nodes for instant scoreboard feed sync - RFID-free and mat-free.

Use case 03

Tactical Military Fitness Trials

The challenge

Mandatory group endurance runs inside secure, air-gapped garrisons without cloud dependencies or external equipment setup.

The solution

100% air-gapped, RFID-free and mat-free optical timing that processes runner identity and completion times entirely inside local RAM.

FAQ

Vision Miles, answered.

How does Vision Miles time a race without chips or mats?

Vision Miles is RFID-free and mat-free. A single tripod-mounted edge node at the finish line reads standard printed bibs with high-speed neural bib OCR at up to 120 FPS and timestamps each runner as their bib crosses the finish threshold.

Can Vision Miles read dirty, folded or partly hidden bibs?

Yes. The neural bib OCR tier is built to recognize dirty, folded or obscured bib numbers in rain, dusk or direct sunlight.

Does Vision Miles need internet at the finish line?

No. Frames are processed on-device in under 50 ms, so Vision Miles can run fully air-gapped - including inside secure military garrisons.

Is race video stored?

No. Video streams are processed in volatile memory with zero persistent video logging.
