Autech · Industrial technology

Less downtime. More output. Better decisions.

Industrial technology to identify losses, improve efficiency, and measure results.

Real recording of a breaded-food line, with Autech's counting model. The number on each box is the tracking ID the model assigns to each detected piece; it is not the count.

The problem

What isn't measured on the line is lost without anyone seeing it.

Three situations that repeat in many plants. None looks serious in the moment; together they explain much of the time and product that gets lost.

01

Stops nobody records

A short stop seems harmless. Without a time, cause or duration, by the end of the shift nobody can explain where the output went, or fix it.

Unrecorded stop · nobody can answer:

  • When did it start?
  • Why?
  • How long?

02

Alerts that arrive late

The problem starts on the line, but the alert depends on someone noticing, finding the owner and calling them. Every step adds time in which the line produces nothing.

  1. The problem happens

    The fryer exit stops.

  2. Nobody is told in time

    It's noticed on the next round or over the radio.

    Time without a response
  3. The response is late

    Maintenance arrives after output is already lost.

03

Paper records

Production, quality and lots live on separate sheets. When an audit or a complaint arrives, rebuilding what happened depends on who filled in each sheet.

Autech connects these three points: it records the stop, alerts whoever is responsible and keeps the information in one place.

Here's how it works on the floor

How it works on the floor

From the line to the decision, in five steps.

Five steps, from the camera over the belt to the manager's report. Here's how it looks in a breaded-food plant.

Illustrative plant. Figures marked as example are not measured results.

Start from your problem

What do you want to improve in your plant?

Pick what's closest to your situation. We'll show how we'd approach it and what we'd ask you first.

Production control

The shift number arrives when it can no longer be corrected

We start from the production order and one reliable counting point on the line. From there, pace and running total are visible in real time against that order's target.

What we'd ask you first

  • When do you know today how much the line produced: during the shift or the next day?
  • If an order is behind, who finds out first and how?
  • Does what production reports match what leaves through the dock?

Solutions

One system for production, quality and follow-up.

Start with what costs you most today and add areas when you need them. Everything shares the same plant data.

Capabilities are validating in plant unless marked otherwise.

How we work

We start with one concrete problem.

There's no need to transform the whole plant. Together we pick the problem that costs the most, solve it well and grow from there.

  1. 1. We understand the problem

    We walk the process with your team and see what's costing time, quality or money.

  2. 2. We design the solution

    We define the data, cameras, software and workflows needed, and nothing more.

  3. 3. We integrate and test

    We configure and test with your team, on your line, scheduling around production.

  4. 4. We measure and expand

    We compare against what was measured at the start and, where it makes sense, add lines or areas.

Industries · Built first for food plants

  • Processed foods
  • Breaded
  • Frozen
  • Packaged
  • Other manufacturing lines

We start where stops, temperature and traceability matter most.

The same architecture serves other manufacturing lines: assembly, packaging and continuous processes. If your plant is different, let's talk.

Request a demo

Let's look at your line and the problem that costs you most.

Tell us what you produce and what you'd like to control better. We'll reply to set up a demo with your process in mind.

  • A walkthrough of the platform and the camera on the line
  • What could be measured first in your plant
  • What it would take to start

We'll reply by email to arrange the demo. We don't share your data.
