HOW IT WORKS
Two camera perspectives —
one complete picture of the line.
1
WORKSTATION CAMERA
Cycle and process tracking per station
Every work step logged — cycle times, machine interruptions, station utilisation, and deviations. Continuous data without manual observation or time studies.
2
BIRD-EYE CAMERA
Walking routes and material flow
Overhead view tracks movement patterns across the line — walking distance, residence time, material handling, and layout inefficiency made visible and measurable.
WHAT YOU GET
Real-time bottleneck detection — line-level and station-level
Automated waste identification — NVA time, waiting, and walking
Cycle-time variance analysis per station, shift, and product
Faster reaction to deviations — real-time alerts, not next-day reports
Best-practice capture — what high-performing shifts do differently
DEPLOYMENT
2–4 weeks from camera installation to live line insights
INTEGRATION
Standalone or connected to PLC, MES, and ERP — no replacement required
PRIVACY
Edge-processed, anonymised, works-council approved across Europe
SCALE
Single manual line to multi-site enterprise deployments
PAYBACK
Typically under 12 months — ABB achieved payback in under one year
more solutions
Works across every production environment.
Our Solutions
Almetra is the intelligence layer for your factory — it turns what happens on the floor into real-time answers and measurable improvement.

Questions
answered.
What is Almetra and how is it different from a camera or video analytics system?
What kinds of factories and production environments does Almetra work in?
How long does deployment take — and what does implementation look like?
How does Almetra handle data privacy and worker concerns?
Does Almetra replace our existing MES, ERP, or PLC systems?
What outcomes can we realistically expect — and how quickly?
Is Almetra only useful for improving existing lines — or can it help with new products and ramp-ups?
What does the path from pilot to full deployment look like?
