Frontline AI, explained plainly.

Explainers and guides on the ideas behind Visor: SOP adherence, PPE detection, visual inspection, and what AI actually does on a factory floor. Written by the team that builds it.

What is SOP adherence?

SOP adherence is the degree to which the work actually performed on the floor follows the standard operating procedure as written, step by step, in order, to spec, on every shift. It is where quality, safety, and compliance are won or lost: a procedure only protects the operation when it is followed, and provably so.

PPE detection: fixed cameras vs. smart glasses

PPE detection is computer vision that verifies protective equipment (hard hats, eye protection, harnesses) is worn where the work requires it, continuously and without a checkpoint. Most systems watch from fixed CCTV cameras; a newer approach runs on the devices workers carry and wear, so the monitoring follows the work instead of waiting for the work to pass a camera.

What is frontline AI?

Frontline AI is artificial intelligence built for the people who do physical work (technicians, operators, inspectors, and field crews) rather than for people at desks. It guides procedures step by step, answers questions grounded in the company’s own documentation, watches for hazards and defects, and documents the work, on devices a worker can use with both hands busy: smart glasses, phones, and tablets.

AI visual inspection, explained

AI visual inspection uses computer vision to check work against acceptance criteria automatically: every unit, as it is produced, instead of a sample at end-of-line. Trained on your drawings, criteria, and golden samples, it flags a non-conformance at the station where it happened, while it is still one part and not a batch.
