How RIOS Agents Deliver Value
RIOS Agents: What They Do
RIOS Agents use exceptional visual intelligence capabilities to optimize production processes and reduce situations that can negatively impact production. Here's what they do:
-
Process Optimization
Make real-time adjustments to production parameters like temperature and mixing times based on ongoing data analysis, optimizing the manufacturing process for speed, efficiency, and minimal waste. -
Regulatory Compliance
Automate the documentation process, ensuring that all production steps are recorded accurately.
-
Supply Chain and Inventory Management
Forecast demand based on historical data and market trends, ensuring the assembly line is producing the correct quantity of products while optimizing the use of raw materials. -
Quality Control
Continuously monitor assembly lines, using computer vision and machine learning to inspect products for defects, ensuring that only products meeting stringent quality standards are packaged and shipped.

RIOS Agents for Wood Products
DEFECT DETECTION at layup infeed
RIOS Agents can be used to identify characteristics in wood products, such as knots and splits. In this example, the agent identifies holes, knots, and splits and provides a probability for each event. Plywood mills leverage this information to reject or recycle veneer and report on quality.
regulatory compliance
RIOS Agents automate the documentation process, ensuring that all production steps are recorded accurately, which is crucial for regulatory compliance.
Using video feeds, operators can open the application and create models instantly. You can identify the objects of interest, detect defects on objects, and identify how objects are handled – all with a point-and-click process that requires no coding or complex training.
