Mixed-format lines, multiple SKUs per shift — changeovers spike the defect rate.

A CPG line runs several SKUs a day and one of them is always the new one. Changeover is where the labelling map, cap colour, and case-seal pattern diverge from the recipe the line was running an hour ago. The defect spike at changeover is predictable; catching it without slowing the line is not.

Failure modes we watch for
  1. 01Wrong-SKU label applied at changeover
  2. 02Cap colour mismatched to fill
  3. 03Case-seal pattern incomplete
  4. 04Tray count off at the packer

From camera to action

Automate your vision-based workflows in days, not months.

  1. 01

    Define critical areas

    Outline the zones that matter on each feed — the fill point, the exclusion area, the stacked output — so the agent watches exactly where loss and risk show up.

    Define critical areas
  2. 02

    Define visual triggers

    Start from our pre-trained trigger library or train your own. A single stream can run several triggers at once, each watching for a different event.

    Define visual triggers
  3. 03

    Define actions and escalations

    Set how the agent responds — a dispatcher ping, a logged event, or a closed-loop stop — and chain those into escalation paths from first alert to full intervention.
