What it verifies
At assembly and kitting stations, Video-to-Action AI checks each cycle against your work instruction:
- The right part and variant picked and placed
- Fasteners and clips installed, connectors latched and cables routed
- The right tool used at each point
- Steps done in order, with none skipped
- Kits complete before they go to the line
Why end-of-line checks miss it
Work instructions say what should happen, but nobody watches every cycle. Fixtures and smart tools check one step or the finished state, not the sequence. A skipped clip, a wrong variant or a step done out of order passes until end-of-line test, or until the OEM finds it.
How it acts
ALIS, Maneva's AI Line Supervisor, is trained on video of your own stations, so it learns each step and the order it belongs in. When a step is missed, done with the wrong part or out of order, it signals the operator at the station through a stack light, HMI or alert, and can hold the part through a PLC interlock until the step is done.
Every cycle is logged with image, timestamp and part ID, which supports traceability and customer audits. Where the finished part also needs an inspection, VITA checks it on the same cameras.
Where the cameras go
Cameras cover each station from above, so the operator’s hands, the parts and the fixture are in view. Some lines can start with cameras they already have; many need at least one off-the-shelf camera placed for the task. Maneva helps choose the camera and where it goes.
Result
Missed, wrong and out-of-order steps are caught at the station instead of at end-of-line test, and every assembly leaves a record of how it was built. Assembly verification and other automotive use cases →
