About the Product – Process Vision
Process Vision is an AI-powered process monitoring solution that uses wireless or IP-based cameras to observe plant floor activities. The system anonymizes people in the video feed using image pre-processing, then streams the footage to a cloud-based large language model (LLM). Users define use cases via free form prompts and may also provide reference documents, videos, or images to help the AI identify process non-conformances.
