Computer Vision for Manufacturing
Improve manufacturing throughput, minimize defects, and optimize labor delivery via real-time data to increase ROI.
Monitor Production Lines in Real-Time With Vision AI
Computer vision acts as a second set of eyes over your manufacturing processes to enhance productivity and safety across the entire value chain, from materials tracking to production and delivery. alwaysAI enables existing cameras to quickly identify and interpret objects in the physical world to automate processes with real-time data tailored for specific needs. We are an end-to-end solution that addresses manufacturers' most difficult challenges.
Manufacturing Use Cases
Anomaly and Defect Detection
Problem
Anomalies and defects are unavoidable and extremely costly in manufacturing. The average manufacturing company has a cost of poor quality at about 20% of total sales.
Solution
Automate anomaly and defect detection with unparalleled accuracy to minimize delays by catching issues as they arise. Get immediate alerts to avoid slowdowns and increase ROI.
Process Optimization
Problem
Long production lines are difficult to monitor at all times. But without visibility, it’s difficult to know where costly bottlenecks and delays occur.
Solution
Optimize processes with 24-hour visual data across your entire production line. Get unprecedented insights into machine use and labor productivity to maximize efficiency.
Safety Monitoring
Problem
Manufacturing jobs have the highest rate of workplace injuries resulting in billions of dollars of lost revenue. Complex machinery with moving parts, sharp edges, and hot surfaces makes them inherently dangerous.
Solution
Easily monitor hazardous areas, track personal protective equipment compliance, and better manage machine usage in real-time. Get immediate alerts about safety issues so you can address them before or as they occur.
Heatmapping and Traffic Analytics
Problem
Managing employees, delivery personnel, materials, and equipment in large manufacturing facilities is challenging but essential to optimizing productivity.
Solution
Get real-time visual data about movement and dwell time anywhere in your facility through heatmapping and foot traffic analytics to streamline operations and boost ROI.
