Louis Barton Zona Franca Design Docs

Phase I prototype design — Jetson edge compute + Amcrest cameras + Auth0 + Excel parity. Open-source by intent; internal data is gated.

Project charter

What we’re building, scope, phases. The single canonical statement of the work.

Read the charter →

Hardware specification

Jetson Orin Nano Super, Amcrest IP8M-2779EW-AI cameras, TP-Link PoE switch. BOM, install runbook, network topology.

Open hardware section →

ML pipeline

YOLOv8n + TensorRT, 3–5 fps cycle-event detection, ROI calibration, failure modes and monitoring.

Open ML section →

Research & paper

Validation methodology, related work, reproducibility plan. Authorship strategy and COI disclosure are sign-in required.
