VIRE AI SCANNER – an AI-based solution for data collection and detection needs
Vire AI Scanner
VIRE AI SCANNER is an AI-based hardware and software solution developed by Vire Labs for industrial and transport data collection and detection needs. Vire Labs offers different sizes and types of AI scanners (including boom and rack solutions), so there is always a suitable solution for different use cases and needs.
Vire AI Scanner is easy to integrate and highly versatile, and it offers an AI-based solution for meny kinds of industrial uses. It can be used for automating quality control and product quality classification, for increasing production efficiency, for taking care of rolling stock maintenance automation and failure prediction, just to name a few examples.
Vire AI Scanner solves data collection and detection challenges
- Vire AI Scanner takes care of all functions related to detection and data collection, pre-analysis/analysis of the collected data and forwarding the results of the analysis and data to the client organization's information systems.
- Vire Labs has been implementing AI-based detection and data collection solutions for both Finnish and international customers already for several years.
- The latest Vire Labs product is the Vire AI Scanner, officially launched in January 2023. It is a ready-to-deliver hardware and software suite for the data collection and detection needs of small and big companies.
- The first Vire AI Scanner solution was delivered in 2022 to Metsä Group's Kemi bioproducts plant, where LiDARs, or laser measuring devices, in the scanner tower form a point cloud of the timber cargo of every passing train. This enables the autonomous cranes to accurately lift the timber stacks from the trains without damaging the cargo or the train wagons.
- In the past, a similar intelligent sensor system has been used, for example, in a train scanner that facilitates maintenance of rolling stock, developed by Vire Labs together with VR Fleetcare.
The Vire AI Scanner is always equipped
with the devices best suited to the detection need in question
Vire AI Scanner handles all the functions related to data collection and detection, pre-analysis or analysis of the collected data, and the transmission of analysis results and data to the client organization’s information systems.
The identification needs determine the type of equipment that is appropriate for data collection. For example, still and video cameras, line scan cameras and LiDAR measuring devices suitable for demanding industrial applications are most often used, but various sensors and microphones can also be used for data collection if the situation requires it.
If the target needs to be illuminated during imaging, a device that produces a uniform light over the entire height of the scanner and is switched on during imaging can be integrated in the system.
To analyse the collected data, the Vire AI Scanner includes one or more Virebox.AI terminals.
The standard height of the Vire AI Scanner is either 300 cm (Vire AI Scanner 300) and 600 cm (Vire AI Scanner 600). There is also a Vire Scanner Gate version is also available, in which the detector devices can be mounted on a horizontal boom above the production line or above the object to be detected.
Vire AI Scanner installation can be secured with mounting plates designed for use with the scanner. The concrete tile (2 x 2 m) can be moved by forklift trucks from the lifting hooks, and the metal tile can be fixed to concrete and steel.
If required, the Vire AI Scanner can also be supplied as a rack solution or as individual devices
Sensors (cameras, LiDARs and other sensors) can be attached to structures in a factory environment, for example, close to the objects to be detected and analysed.The Virebox.AI terminals used for data processing, analysis and transmission and the necessary electronics can be placed in a data centre, for example, alongside other IT equipment.
