Vision AI for Production & Assembly Supervision

AI-based visual supervision of manual, semi-automated, and automated production processes to ensure correctness and consistency.

• Detection of:

  • Missing, incorrect, or misplaced components

  • Wrong assembly sequence or orientation

  • Deviations from defined process steps

• Continuous monitoring without stopping production

• Event-based alerts and visual evidence for root-cause analysis

• Works alongside existing PLC, SCADA, and MES systems

Typical applications: Automotive assembly stations, machine sub-assembly lines, pharma packaging processes
