Computer vision system validating tool kits in real time to prevent incomplete production sets and create auditable records
Talks that move

Smart Start Check

A live visual checkpoint confirms each tool in seconds, stops incomplete kits from entering production, and leaves an auditable record behind.

One missing tool can interrupt an entire production sequence.
WHY THIS “SMART START CHECK" CHALLENGE?
Inconsistent checks let missing tools slip through

Manual checks depend on operator attention and take about 30 seconds per kit, varying from one inspection to the next. A missed component can mean an unplanned line stop, lost time and little evidence to trace what happened

Key benefits
Certainty at the exact moment production starts
check icon
Nothing missing. Nothing assumed

Every required tool is checked automatically, with presence or absence detected in approximately 50 milliseconds.

check icon
Stop the gap before it stops the line

Incomplete kits trigger an immediate alert so operators can correct them before production begins.

check icon
One inspection standard, every shift

Automated verification reduces dependence on individual judgment and applies the same criteria to every kit.

check icon
Leave proof behind every decision

Video evidence records each inspection for audit, traceability and operational follow-up.

How NTT DATA helps

01
Establish the reference for every kit

The operator selects the required configuration, giving the inspection engine a clear model for a complete tray.

02
Inspect continuously in real time

Live video is analyzed at approximately 20 frames per second, enabling rapid verification without interrupting the workflow

03
Focus detection where it matters

Defined inspection zones and tool-specific thresholds reduce irrelevant detections and improve control across component types

04
Alert operators without slowing them down

When a tool is missing, the system flags the absent item and prompts corrective action while analysis continues

05
Extend the model as operations evolve

New kit configurations can be added without rebuilding the full inspection logic

Proven impact
Faster Checks, Fewer Missing Tools

Stronger production control at every shift change

Results that matter
Immediate operational gains from automated tool-kit verification
check icon
Compress inspection time

Manual checks fall by 90%, from about 30 seconds to about 5 seconds.

check icon
Prevent avoidable line interruptions

Missing tools are identified before an incomplete kit is released into the process.

check icon
Strengthen audit readiness

Each inspection generates video evidence for traceability, review and follow-up.

check icon
Standardize every approval

Automated criteria reduce operator dependency and improve consistency across cycles.
