How the GearStation works
Our GearCore software platform assesses whether the product meets the necessary quality standards. Both vision and AI techniques are used for this purpose. You determine the quality standard for this assessment yourself via the user-friendly control interface. Each quality characteristic can be set separately. This prevents the wrong product from ending up with your customer.

Proven GearStation solutions in practice
Data driven
Vision and AI provide relevant data
All collected data is processed in real time and presented in clear dashboards. This not only gives companies insight into the current quality of their products, but also into broader trends, for example per employee, per greenhouse, per supplier or per season.
This data-driven approach enables continuous improvement of processes: employees can be trained in a more targeted manner, suppliers can be managed more effectively, and quality criteria can be tailored more accurately to market demand.
