Defect detection

Q: Can it detect defects invisible to humans?

Yes, the system can monitor the interaction between the staff, the product, and the POS system to ensure every item passing the scanner is recorded.

Q: How many images are needed to train the system?

No, YOLO is designed to work with standard 1080p CCTV hardware, making it a cost-effective upgrade to existing security infrastructure.

Q: Can it handle high-speed production?

The model is trained to maintain high accuracy in dense environments, distinguishing between legitimate shopping behavior and high-risk maneuvers.

Identify microscopic imperfections and structural flaws in real-time to ensure 100% product integrity.
