About
We built Procunit because visual inspection on fast lines is still mostly done by tired eyes — and recalibrated rule sets that break every time the line changes.
Founded in Los Angeles, 2023. Built by people who have run QA programs on actual production lines — not consulting engagements, not lab benchmarks.
Built by someone who ran the line.
Amanda Okonkwo spent four years managing quality programs at a contract electronics manufacturer in the San Gabriel Valley before co-founding Procunit in 2023. At her previous job, a customer pushed for a 40% line speed increase on a PCB assembly line. Escape rates doubled within a month.
The shop's AOI system was recalibrated six times in a single quarter and still missed connector orientation errors — a defect class that required only 30 seconds to catch visually when the line ran slow enough. The problem was not calibration effort. It was that rule-based AOI encodes static conditions: fixed thresholds, fixed ROIs, fixed lighting assumptions. Push the line faster, change a part fixture, or add a new defect class and the rules break.
Procunit's first model ran on a $600 industrial PC and caught 94% of defects on a 180 ppm PCB line. That number is now above 99% on fully trained production models. We are not trying to replace every quality program — we are solving one specific problem: inspection that keeps up with the line and learns from your team's accept/reject history instead of requiring a vision engineer every time conditions shift.
Team
The people building Procunit
Amanda Okonkwo
CEO & Co-Founder
4 years running QA programs at a contract electronics manufacturer. Built the first Procunit model on a line she was responsible for certifying.
Daniel Vásquez
CTO & Co-Founder
ML engineer with background in industrial automation software. Designed the ONNX INT8 inference pipeline that delivers sub-8ms latency on commodity i7 hardware with no GPU.
Priya Shenoy
Head of Customer Engineering
5 years in manufacturing operations, 3 years in systems integration covering PLC, MES, and SCADA. Leads every Procunit pilot deployment — on-site and remote.
Funding
Funded to ship, not to pitch.
In September 2025, Procunit raised initial angel funding from manufacturing and industrial automation practitioners. Capital is going toward field deployments and expanding multi-camera line support. We are a small team in Los Angeles. We are not trying to be everything to every manufacturer — we are trying to be the right tool for quality engineers on fast discrete lines.

Pilot inquiries get a response within one business day. We will ask about your line speed, part family, and defect type — not to qualify you, but because that information determines whether a two-week pilot is realistic or whether we need to scope it differently. If it is not the right fit, we will tell you directly.
