Service for digitizing instrument readings

Computer vision
Find the ability to remotely monitor the operation of equipment and track malfunctions in its work without dismantling and disassembly
Find a solution for reading meter readings and sensors to connect them to the IoT 4.0 system
Tasks
An industrial company with outdated equipment
Customer
Service based on computer vision technology, that "translates" the data of counters, levers, switches into digital form
Solution
The ability to "see" the position of the lever, arrow, switch
Reading numbers, symbols on analog, digital displays
Opportunities
To create the service, we used classical and neural network methods of machine learning. Classical methods were used to pre-process and reduce the video format. Then the image was processed by neural network

How it works

01/
The data is structured in the form of reports, graphs
The neural network segments the image, isolates the data
The video stream is transmitted to a remote computer 24/7
We install video cameras in production

«Our client needed technical solution that would accelerate the digitalization of production without replacing equipment. At the first stage, we forced his counters and sensors "talk". The second stage is the analysis of the received readings, which will optimize production»

Project results

Our client received a ready-made solution, which he was satisfied with. He decided to take further steps to introduce it into production on his own.

«Our solution can be adapted to almost any production site with outdated equipment. We exclude employees of enterprises from the chain, who now have to check the operation of equipment manually, in uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous conditions.»
