The Platform

A layered intelligence system

not a single tool.

1

Capture

Real-world signal capture

Cameras, sensors, PLC signals, MES, ERP, and machine data — combined into one operational record.

Video · PLC · MES · ERP

2

Understand

Process understanding

Cycle times, bottlenecks, downtime, deviations, walking routes, non-value-add activity, and root causes.

AI · Agents · Analysis

3

Optimize

Improvement intelligence

Recommendations, simulation, best-practice capture, benchmarking, and root-cause analysis at every station.

Insights · Actions

4

Automate

Automation foundation

Almetra’s intelligence and blueprints become the foundation for robotics, autonomous workflows, and self-improving systems.

AI · Agents · Analysis

Built for how your

Factory runs.

DATA INTEGRATION

Every relevant signal

from the floor and the systems that surround it.

PHYSICAL LAYER

Vision & sensors

Cameras mounted as operational sensors. Workstation views and bird-eye coverage. Machine cycle tracking and component movement detection. movement detection.

MACHINE LAYER

PLC & machine data

PLC signals, downtime events, OEE inputs, and machine cycle data — integrated directly with visual evidence from the same moment in time.

SYSTEM LAYER

MES, ERP & IT/OT

Production orders, planned cycle times, quality records, and operational context — combined with physical reality to produce a complete operational picture.

ABB improves production productivity by 15%+ with AI-powered shop floor intelligence

By turning optical shop floor data into real-time operational insights, the team identified bottlenecks, understood root causes, and achieved improvements that traditional lean methods could not have delivered in the same timeframe.

EXAMPLE

INSIGHT

Bottleneck: Station 10 constrains entire line

At 18.5 min median cycle time — 1.85× the takt time of 10 min. This single station limits daily throughput to ~45 units.

Bottleneck removal increases line output:

by up to 35%

PRIVACY & SECURITY

For works councils

and employees.

Raw video deleted in 10 min

All processing happens on-device at the line. Raw footage never leaves the factory floor and is automatically deleted within ten minutes.

Processes tracked, not people

Almetra tracks entire processes and anonymises workers. No individual identification, no personal data retained. Approved by works councils across Europe.

High cybersecurity by design

Edge architecture means no raw data transits the network. Full cybersecurity compliance built into the deployment model from day one.

GDPR compliant

No personal data is stored or linked to individuals.

Works council co-decision

We support the formal co-determination process throughout rollout.

No performance ranking

KPIs reflect process bottlenecks — never individual output.

Open to audit

Works councils can review the system and its data practices at any time.

Workers know exactly what is captured and why. Works councils are involved from day one, not after the fact.
