Manufacturers are constantly battling two critical challenges:
Inefficiencies in Equipment Usage: Downtime, slow cycle times, and unidentified bottlenecks reduce Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), leading to wasted resources and missed production targets.
Safety Risks: Ensuring worker safety while maintaining productivity is difficult, especially in environments with heavy machinery and fast-moving processes.Despite best efforts, traditional methods struggle to keep up with the complexity and speed of modern manufacturing.
By using computer vision and deep learning, Video AI Agents bring continuous, detection and response of issues—far beyond what traditional methods alone can achieve.
