Station-level intelligence

Automated Station

Cycle tracking, anomaly detection, and failure review — at every automated station.

Station-level intelligence

Automated Station

Cycle tracking, anomaly detection, and failure review — at every automated station.

Robotic cell with camera sensor mounted overhead

HOW IT WORKS

Camera as sensor —

cycle times and anomalies captured continuously.

1

CYCLE TRACKING

Machine cycles and component movements

Every machine cycle logged — duration, deviation, and sequence. Component movements tracked to detect misfeeds, jams, and process drift before they cause downtime.

2

ANOMALY DETECTION

Stoppages with visual evidence

Every stoppage or anomaly is automatically flagged and linked to the corresponding anonymised video snippet — so root-cause review takes minutes, not shifts.

WHAT YOU GET

From stoppage alert to

From stoppage alert to

confirmed root cause — fast.

confirmed root cause — fast.

Continuous cycle-time tracking per station — deviation from target flagged automatically

Stoppage and anomaly detection — every event logged with visual context

Anonymised video snippets linked to each failure event for rapid review

AI-assisted root-cause categorisation — misalignment, misfeed, operator intervention, and more

Trend analysis — recurring failure patterns surfaced across shifts and weeks

DEPLOYMENT

2–3 weeks from camera installation to live cycle and anomaly data

INTEGRATION

Works standalone or integrated with PLC and MES event streams

PRIVACY

Edge-processed on-site, raw footage deleted within 10 minutes

SCALE

Single robotic cell to full automated line coverage

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.
