- 60%+ improvement in defect detection rate
The problem
QC inspectors and quality managers responsible for catching defects spend time on work a system could do. This is what it costs today.
- Quality defects escape manual inspection at 1-2% rate
- Returns, brand owner complaints, and potential recalls
- Inconsistent inspector performance shift to shift
- Manual inspection can't keep up with line speed

What the automation does
This AI-powered automation module connects to your existing systems, does the repetitive work, and leaves decisions with your team.
- Computer vision cameras analyze products at line speed
- Detects: scratches, dents, label errors, fill issues, seal defects
- Auto-rejects bad units without stopping the line
- Logs all defects with images for root cause analysis
Prerequisites and limits
These systems and data need to be in place. If they are not, the assessment shows what infrastructure comes first, before you commit to a pilot.
- Cameras at inspection points (we help spec and install if needed)
- End-of-line or inline inspection stations
- Consistent lighting (we assess and recommend changes)
- 500-1,000 labeled defect images (we help collect and label)
How success is measured
We agree the baseline and the success metric in writing before the pilot starts, then measure from your system data with weekly reports. If the agreed metric is not hit at 90 days, you get a full refund.
