A configured inspection station
The camera, lighting and inspection surface are arranged around the visible features of the chosen kit.
Project concept · Dispatch inspection
Check the contents before the box closes.
We set up camera inspection at your packing station. It compares a recurring kit with its parts list, highlights uncertainties and records the contents approved by your packing team.

CAMERA CHECK / SAMPLE KIT
Make a missing item visible
THE STARTING POINT
Where effort builds up today.
A missing item or a similar variant is discovered only by the recipient. Staff check manually, but there is little traceable evidence of what went into the package.

THE DELIVERABLE
What you have at the end of the pilot.
Parts-list checks with exceptions
Inspection flags missing, extra or uncertain items. Similar parts may need additional identification or a scan.
A record of the approved contents
The image, inspection scope and staff decision are linked to the checked kit. Storage and access are agreed in advance.
FROM TRIGGER TO HANDOVER
How one step leads to the next.
- 01
Select and lay out the kit
The packer selects the kit and places its parts in the inspection area without obscuring items.
- 02
Compare the contents
The camera captures an image. Inspection compares visible items and, where needed, identifiers with the parts list.
- 03
Resolve discrepancies
The packer checks flagged items, adds missing parts or confirms an allowed variant.
- 04
Approve and record
The packer confirms the final contents. The warehouse lead assesses detection against manually verified test kits.
- One contact personSomeone in your team who knows the workflow.
- Access to examplesDocuments, recordings or test accounts, depending on the task.
- From managementOne kickoff conversation and the decision after the pilot.
THE FIRST DEPLOYMENT
A clearly bounded pilot.
One kit type at one packing station with an approved parts list. Hidden contents and automatic shipment release are outside the first test.
What we need to begin
- An unambiguous parts list and examples of complete and incorrect kits.
- A fixed packing station with suitable lighting and visible placement of parts.
- A packer and a person responsible for approval and control assessment.
ASSESSMENT POINTS
Discrepancies detected
We compare alerts with a manual inspection, including deliberately prepared test errors.
Inspection time at the station
Layout, inspection, questions and corrections are measured as one complete task.
Cases requiring further checks
We record which parts need manual identification or an additional scan.
FAQ
Before we start.
Can the camera distinguish similar items reliably?
We test the actual variants. If visible features are insufficient, we plan identification, scanning or a manual check.
Can the kit already be inside the box?
Only if the features to be checked remain visible. Inspection before packing is often appropriate; we agree on the layout together.
Does a green signal release the shipment?
In the initial scope, the packer confirms the contents. We assess alerts and missed errors before proposing further automation.

Robotics & operations
Detect a Defined Visible Manufacturing Defect
We develop a camera inspection station for one component and a clearly defined defect. The pilot compares detection with your quality team's assessment and provides a documented basis for use in production.

From a customer enquiry to a reviewed quote and order.
We develop a workflow that matches requested items to your catalogue and prepares a quote for review. In a pilot covering one product group, your team controls pricing, availability and approval.
