How FactoryVision works
FactoryVision watches a station and counts discrete parts as they move through a production cycle. During setup, the camera is mounted and aimed, and its angle and focus are checked in the live view.
A printed target provides a reference for measurements in millimetres and detects camera movement. The operator produces ten parts in the normal production flow and confirms the cycle FactoryVision identifies. Relevant inspection areas are marked by selecting edges or drawing a box.
Setup fitted to your factory
Setup includes mounting and aiming the camera, placing the printed target, teaching a cycle with ten parts, confirming the cycle, and marking relevant areas.
Production coordination and camera placement are discussed in relation to your machines and processes. The introductory call starts that conversation.
Where FactoryVision fits
FactoryVision is not an ERP, MES, or SCADA system. It counts and tracks parts at production stations.
What FactoryVision sees
FactoryVision does not see defects inside material. Inspecting the back of a part requires a second camera. Measurements finer than about 0.1 mm with suitable optics are outside its stated scope. Shiny or transparent parts require lighting work. Continuous processes such as extrusion are outside its scope.
Footage stays in the customer’s building, and models run on a small computer in the factory rather than in FactoryVision’s cloud.
Frequently asked questions
What happens during the first week?
Setup includes an observation week for visual quality control. The system observes without activating inspection; the quality lead activates inspection afterward.
What do we see on day five?
There is no fixed day-five deliverable specified here. Setup is adapted to your machines and processes, starting with an introductory call.
Does installation disturb production?
Installation includes mounting and aiming the camera and placing a printed target. How that work is coordinated with production depends on your machines and processes.
Which machines qualify?
FactoryVision fits production involving countable, discrete parts. Its stated target range is approximately 10 to 100 machines. We discuss your machines, parts and processes during the introductory call.
Why is extrusion excluded?
FactoryVision counts discrete parts through production cycles. Continuous processes such as extrusion fall outside that scope.
What can’t the camera see?
FactoryVision does not see defects inside material. Inspecting the back of a part requires a second camera. Measurements finer than about 0.1 mm with suitable optics are outside scope. Shiny or transparent parts require lighting work.
