Vaisto Solutions

What Vaisto Solutions does

Vaisto Solutions is a Tampere, Finland-based software engineering consultancy founded in 2017 that delivers industrial AI, embedded software, machine vision, and IoT solutions to machinery manufacturers and industrial automation companies. Its service portfolio spans four core areas — Embedded Software, Machine Vision, Industrial IoT, and AI & Machine Learning — complemented by four turnkey solution verticals (Situational Awareness, Industrial Intelligence, AI Assisted Operations, and Autonomous Operations). The company also maintains two proprietary platforms: Vaisto Velocity, a lightweight IoT platform targeted at industrial SMEs, and Vaisto MLOps, a modular machine learning operations platform supporting continuous model deployment and automatic concept drift correction.

Technically, Vaisto operates across the full stack from edge devices (ROS2 cross-compiled for resource-constrained embedded systems, deep sensor fusion, real-time computer vision) to cloud analytics and MLOps pipelines. It applies synthetic data generation and 3D simulation environments to train machine vision and autonomous operation models where real industrial data is scarce, and integrates with enterprise systems (ERP/MES) for production-grade deployment. The team combines over 400 years of cumulative technology and industry expertise, including a Chief Machine Learning Engineer.

Commercially, Vaisto operates a sales-led enterprise field-sales motion with named contacts for sales (Marko Kuula) and operations (Marko Luomanaho). Revenue is generated through hourly-based consulting and engineering services plus turnkey end-to-end projects spanning software, hardware integration, and deployment. Named enterprise customers include Kalmar, Fastems, Valmet, Sarlin, and TP. The company serves Finland, the Baltic states, and the DACH region, with a German subsidiary (Vaisto GmbH, Karlsruhe) opened in 2024 and a formal cooperation agreement with Siemens signed in January 2026 to accelerate industrial AI adoption across Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
