AI and Computer Vision for Industry 4.0 Applications
The concept of Industry 4.0 signifies the promise of a new industrial revolution—one that combines digital and physical technologies in order to achieve new accomplishments of speed, cohesion, flexibility, and automation that have forever altered what production looks like.
Computer Vision and AI plays a significant role in the Industry 4.0 context, becoming the ‘eyes’ of the manufacturing process. Cameras and vision sensors are getting smaller and more affordable, which is leading to higher adoption rates in IIoT projects.

Use Cases & Solutions
Irida Labs’ PerCV.ai platform for on-device Vision Intelligence is utilized to build efficient, robust and scalable Industry 4.0 solutions that employ computer vision and AI at the edge, run in real time and rely solely on our proprietary ML engine.
Inventory: Product Identification
Product Quality Assurance in production lines, product classification, defect detection, production analytics
Packaging Bag QA
Real-time QA and product analytics for packaging bags of all types on indoor or outdoor conveyor systems.
Packaging Bag QA is a powerful, Vision AI-based defect tracking solutions powered by PerCV.ai that eliminates the need for human inspection in the production lines.
Events tracking provide real-time alerts about incidents that require immediate attention/action, such as defective products (i.e. dents, spills, tears etc. ), missing stamp/production date, occupancy limits violations, spill overs, operator safety at risk.
The solution can be easily integrated in existing production lines and has minimal data campaign requirements for quick deployment.
Workplaces: Personel safety
Employee PPE safety monitoring, staff detection, personnel access control
Personnel Analytics
Privacy-preserving people detection that allows non-identifying customer and personnel tracking and counting analytics.
Personnel Analytics is a Vision AI, privacy-preserving people detection solution powered by PerCV.ai that allows non-identifying personnel tracking and counting analytics.
The solution supports high-level analytics, such as people flow charts, heatmaps, occupancy data for indoor & outdoor areas and zone segmentation, which can further enable reliable Smart Building power optimizations, Smart Retail applications and safety-compliant Industry 4.0 area management.
Additionally, the real-time events provide 24/7 restricted area access surveillance, occupancy limits alerting as well as social distancing monitoring.
Warehouse Management
Pallet/ Parcel/ Product detection, recognition, classification and tracking, 2D / 3D product detection, truck loading monitoring
