Enhancing Manufacturing with AI and Computer Vision

AI-driven computer vision is redefining manufacturing, logistics, and safety operations. Through a project with a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, Akkodis showcased how real-time image analysis can detect defects, prevent hazards, and enhance efficiency across industrial environments.

Exploring the Potential of AI-Assisted Computer Vision

Akkodis collaborated with a major commercial vehicle manufacturer seeking to leverage AI-assisted computer vision to improve operational efficiency.

The client wanted to explore computer vision technologies such as object detection, image segmentation, behavior recognition, and classification using video and image data.

By integrating existing technologies into a single scalable, code-free platform, Akkodis developed a tool that accelerates AI model training and testing while remaining user-friendly and easy to deploy across manufacturing environments.

AI Foundations: Accuracy Meets Accessibility

Akkodis built a scalable AI foundation for a no-code computer vision platform designed to perform multiple image and video analysis tasks with precision. The tool uses advanced neural networks to extract meaningful insights from complex visual data and deliver them in actionable, user-friendly formats.

In one real-world example, the AI system analyzed footage from a crowded bus, detecting an armed individual, identifying the weapon type, and instantly alerting the driver and emergency services. This rapid-response capability demonstrates how Akkodis’ computer vision solution enhances public safety and operational reliability—achieving an impressive 95–99% accuracy across detection scenarios.

Making Advanced AI Tools Accessible to Everyone

“The challenge is often that companies don’t have an easy way to build these kinds of AI systems themselves. This solution changes that,” says Sivo.

Akkodis designed its platform with flexibility and code-free management in mind, allowing users to develop their own AI models or rely on Akkodis consultants for managed support.

Clients can integrate the tool into existing systems using programming languages such as Python, C#, or C++, ensuring seamless customization.

Transversal Technology: Expanding Possibilities Beyond Manufacturing

The scalability of this computer vision solution makes it applicable across multiple sectors—from logistics and infrastructure to public safety and engineering.

The tool is highly adaptable. Any company working with images or video can benefit.

– Sivo adds.

Clients who initially used the tool for detecting people in enclosed environments are now applying it to technical drawing analysis and quality inspections, showing its rapid cross-industry adoption.
