Why are companies choosing Roboflow?

Solomon 3D sells a closed stack: AI inspection and robotics software bound to its own 3D cameras and robotic suite. Roboflow is the open, end-to-end platform for vision AI. Create datasets, train custom models, and deploy them to the hardware you already run.

Open, not locked in

Your data, your models, your choice of hardware. Export anything, anytime. No proprietary cameras required.

End-to-end vision, one platform

From labeling to deployment, build, train, and launch in a single place. No tool stitching, no handoffs.

Built by engineers, for engineers

Open-source libraries, SDKs, and APIs for building vision AI on your own terms.

Fast data labeling

Label data quickly with a suite of AI-assisted annotation tools to augment human labeling or fully automate your data labeling pipeline.

Build vision AI applications with ease

Use a low-code open source platform to simplify building and deploying vision AI applications.

Edge deployment

Cloud and edge deployments (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, or mobile devices) for real-time, on-premise inference.

Devices for every scenario

Software, compute, cameras – all the tools you need to deploy cutting-edge vision AI.

Compare Roboflow and Solomon 3D

When you compare Roboflow and Solomon 3D, the difference comes down to ownership and openness. Solomon 3D is an industrial automation vendor. Its products, SolVision for AI inspection, AccuPick 3D for bin picking, SolMotion for vision-guided robotics, and META-aivi for AR, are built around Solomon's own SolScan 3D cameras and robotic suite. That works when you buy the whole stack. It becomes a constraint the moment you want to run on hardware you already own, train a different architecture, export your models, or build something Solomon's studio was not designed for.

Roboflow takes the opposite approach. It is the open, end-to-end platform that takes you from raw images to a deployed model on the infrastructure you choose. You curate datasets, train custom architectures including RF-DETR and RF-DETR-Seg, and deploy anywhere: a browser, a mobile app, an NVIDIA Jetson at the edge, an air-gapped server, or high-scale cloud. You get open-source libraries, SDKs, and APIs instead of a single closed UI, and you keep your data and model IP at every step.
