From pixel to the weekly report

A single system, written by us, covers the whole chain: the camera that inspects, the operator's screen, the plant control centre, the view across all plants and the report with OEE and AI analysis. Everything is configurable and adapts to the way your plant works.

Sentinel PLUS SAAS, up and running

Reports with an AI analyst, daily analysis, plant cockpit, rejects with photos, shifts and live view: all in the same system.

Sentinel PLUS: the operator's screen

The live image with the inspection zones, the shift count and every tool with its score, accepted range and threshold. The operator can see why a pack is rejected. Thresholds can only be adjusted by the quality manager and maintenance, with their own login, and every change is logged.

  • OCR, counting, edge measurement and AND/OR logic tools
  • Recipes per format and users with permissions: the operator views, the quality manager and maintenance adjust
  • Thumbnail of the latest NOK always in view
  • Bypass mode with alert and logging

Evidence

Every NOK, with its photo and its reason

Tapping a reject opens the full-size image with the failed zone marked, the date and time, the frame number and the list of tools that didn't pass, with their score and accepted range.

  • Traceability of everything that passes the camera
  • NOK images kept for the product's entire shelf life
  • Access to the history and CSV download
  • Instant alerts by email, Telegram and WhatsApp
  • The proof that IFS, BRCGS and your customer ask for when they complain

02 · Statistical process control

Nadir: the process, in numbers

Nadir applies statistics and deep learning to every pack that passes: it measures, calculates the mean and spread, and plots the Gaussian bell curve of each measurement. This shows whether the process is stable and detects drift before it turns into a defect. On carton packs, for example, it checks tube openings and seal quality.

  • Histogram of every measurement, with mean, spread and limits
  • Trends that warn of drift before rejection
  • Seals and tube openings checked with deep learning
  • The people you choose receive the photo of every NOK

Zenith and Hub: the whole plant and every plant

Zenith brings every camera in the plant onto one screen, with its status and the shift count. Hub receives a report every minute from each line and shows it on a live map: what is producing, how much it has produced, whether a camera has disconnected or someone has switched on bypass, and who has been alerted.

Line cockpit: shift OEE, seven machines with their status and the machine causing the stop

Line cockpit · OEE of every machine

Which machine stops your line, and what it costs you

With photocells between the machines and the Sentinel camera, the line cockpit follows the filler, capper, case packer, shrink wrapper or palletiser one by one: which is running, which has stopped by itself, which is starved of product and which is blocked by the one in front. Every lost minute is charged to the machine that caused it.

  • OEE of the line and of every machine, with availability, performance, quality, MTBF and MTTR.
  • The culprit of every stop, without asking the machines for signals or touching their programs.
  • Micro-stops and stops kept apart: the brief stoppages that go unrecorded, now quantified.
Daily report · summary and OEE waterfall

Daily report · efficiency killers
Efficiency killers: line minutes lost per culprit machine, micro-stops, stops and hourly map
Efficiency killers. Which machine accounts for the lost line minutes, in micro-stops or stops, and at what time.

05 · Management

Reports you can read in five minutes

Data from every camera becomes weekly and production reports: how much was made, how much was scrapped, how long the line was stopped and why. The virtual AI analyst summarises the week and points out where the margin is. OEE, downtime and waste →

Alerts and reports

Immediate alerts. The report, whenever you need it.

When something fails, the system alerts you at that very moment, on the channel each person normally uses, with the photo and the reason. And production reports arrive by email at the frequency the customer chooses.

Reports on demand

Per shift, per day or per week

Production, rejects, stoppages and OEE by email, to whoever needs them and at the frequency you choose.
