Factories & agro-processing
Check every unit, not the one in ten someone has time for.
What it actually looks like
The line runs, the shift report is written at the end of the day, and the numbers in it are approximately true. Quality depends on how tired the inspector is. Defects reach the customer often enough to be a running cost nobody has ever added up.
Where the time goes
Inspection is a sample, and a tired one
Nobody looks at every unit. The defect that reaches the customer costs the unit, the shipping, the replacement, the credit note and the relationship.
The count on the report is not the count off the line
Production, yield and downtime are estimated from memory at the end of a shift, which makes every improvement argument unwinnable.
Printed dates and batch codes are checked by eye
A whole batch with the wrong expiry printed is not a quality problem. It is a recall.
Maintenance is reactive
Nobody knows what stopped, for how long, or how often, so the same stoppage keeps being a surprise.
What we would do about it
Defect detection and counting on the line
Computer Vision →One camera, one station, one defect type to start. It checks unit 4,000 as carefully as unit 1, and it runs on a box on site so a dropped connection does not stop the quality system.
Label, date and code verification
Computer Vision →Reading what was actually printed and comparing it to what should have been. This quietly prevents the most expensive failure in food and pharma.
Real production numbers
Digitalisation & Business Systems →Counts, yield and downtime recorded as they happen rather than reconstructed, and shown on one screen the plant manager checks in the morning.
Order and dispatch paperwork
AI Agents & Automation →Orders, delivery notes and invoices that stop being retyped between three systems by three different people.
Your sector not listed?
The pattern is nearly always the same: something is being done by hand every day because the record it needs does not exist yet. Tell us what your week looks like and we will tell you which part of it is worth taking away first.
