OEE, downtime, and root causes — across the entire automated line.

Full-line visibility

Automated Line

OEE, downtime, and root causes — across the entire automated line.

Automated production line with multiple robotic stations

HOW IT WORKS

PLC signals and video —

combined into one operational record.

1

PLC INTEGRATION

Machine state and cycle data

Downtime events, cycle deviations, and machine states from PLC — matched in real time with visual evidence from the exact moment they occurred.

2

VISION LAYER

What the sensors don't log

Camera captures what PLC signals miss — component misalignment, operator intervention, upstream causes, and the real sequence of events behind every stoppage.

WHAT YOU GET

From error codes to

From error codes to

root causes in minutes.

root causes in minutes.

Real-time OEE tracking — availability, performance, and quality in one view

PLC and video-based downtime categorisation — automatic, not manual

AI root-cause analysis — visual evidence mapped to every stoppage event

Correlation analysis between stations — upstream causes of downstream losses

Anomaly detection — deviations flagged before they become failures

DEPLOYMENT

2–4 weeks from camera installation to live OEE and downtime insights

INTEGRATION

Connects to existing PLC, MES, and ERP — no replacement required

PRIVACY

Edge-processed on-site, anonymised, full cybersecurity compliance

SCALE

Single automated line to multi-site enterprise rollouts

PAYBACK

Typically under 12 months based on current deployments

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.

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.
