Computer vision development in Portugal
GDPR-first, fully documented and hosted in the EU, with a senior team working your morning hours.
Clarigo Infotech builds computer vision systems that turn cameras and images into decisions: spotting defects on a production line, reading documents, monitoring safety, counting and tracking objects, and analysing video. We deploy in the cloud or at the edge, close to your cameras, and our Clarigo Factory OS product brings vision inspection to the factory floor.
Portuguese companies most often hire us for SaaS products, startups and AI automation.

Privacy, quality and clear documentation
European teams tell us they want a partner who treats data protection and quality as the starting point, not an add-on. That is how we work.
GDPR by design
Data minimisation, consent, EU hosting and a signed data processing agreement before any personal data is touched.
Documentation you can audit
Written specifications, architecture notes, test reports and handover documents, so your team or auditors can follow every decision.
Accessible by default
Interfaces built to WCAG guidelines, helping you meet the European Accessibility Act for digital products and services.
Predictable contracts
Fixed scope and price, clear milestones and acceptance criteria, and full ownership of the code and IP.
What we build with computer vision
Quality and defect inspection
Check parts and products on the line in real time and flag defects before they ship.
OCR and document AI
Read invoices, IDs, forms and labels and turn them into structured data.
Safety monitoring
Detect missing PPE, restricted-zone entry and unsafe conditions, and alert supervisors.
Object detection and counting
Count, classify and track items, vehicles or people in images and video.
Video analytics
Turn camera feeds into events, dashboards and alerts.
Edge deployment
Run models on-site so they keep working offline and images never leave your premises.
How we approach Computer vision
Start with the decision, not the model
We begin by agreeing what the system must decide (pass or fail, which category, how many) and how accurate it needs to be, then collect and label the right images to train and test against.
Data and labelling
Good vision AI depends on representative images: different lighting, angles and edge cases. We set up labelling, augment where needed and keep a held-out test set to measure real accuracy.
Cloud or edge
Some use cases suit cloud processing; production lines and sensitive sites usually need edge devices next to the cameras. We design for the latency, connectivity and privacy your site requires.
People stay in control
Uncertain predictions go to a person to confirm, and every decision is logged with the image behind it, so the system improves over time and can be audited.
How we work with Portugal clients
Time-zone overlap
Portuguese and Indian working days overlap by four and a half to five and a half hours, so stand-ups, calls and quick decisions happen during your morning and early afternoon.
The GDPR and Portugal's Law 58/2019
We design to the GDPR and Law 58/2019: data minimisation, consent, access controls, encryption, EU hosting and a data processing agreement signed before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in euros (EUR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Industries we work with in Portugal
Portuguese startups and scale-ups in Lisbon and Porto use us for SaaS products and AI, with senior engineers who work alongside your own team.
Tourism
Hotels and short-term rentals compete for international guests. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Tech startups
Lisbon and Porto hubs attract product companies. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Wine and cork
Producers market and export through digital channels. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Textiles and footwear
Manufacturers build direct-to-consumer brands. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.

Local payments
Data hosting
Nearest: AWS Europe (Spain) or Google Cloud europe-southwest1 (Madrid), in your own cloud account, so data stays where your rules require.
How it works
Week 1: discovery and design
We agree the use case, success measures and data, and show you a clickable design.
Weeks 2-3: build and integrate
We build, connect it to your systems and data, and demo working software every week.
Week 4: test and launch
We test with real cases, add monitoring and guardrails, then go live.
After launch: improve and scale
The same engineers keep tuning quality, cost and features as usage grows.

It depends on the task. Many projects start with a few hundred to a few thousand labelled images; we help you collect and label them and measure whether accuracy is good enough.
Can it run without the internet?+
Yes. We deploy models on edge devices at your site, so they keep working offline and images stay on your premises.
