Miks Real-time bottle counting and control using Edge A?

This offering enables manufacturers to monitor and control bottle flow in packaging lines using AI-powered vision systems running directly at the field level.
Traditional bottling lines often rely on physical sensors to count bottles or detect jams. These systems are prone to inaccuracies, mechanical wear, and are inflexible when production requirements change.
By integrating a smart industrial camera with a locally deployed AI model on Siemens Industrial Edge, this solution brings a virtual, software-defined sensor layer to the machine. It counts and tracks every bottle in real time—without touching the product or relying on external triggers.
Operators can define virtual zones or light barriers through a simple interface. The AI detects objects within these zones and sends the resulting data (e.g. counts, speeds, anomalies) to the PLC, enabling the machine to regulate itself based on live visual input.
