Alat offers a marking‑free AI vision platform that uses high‑resolution cameras and LiDAR to detect and track objects of any size or shape across production lines without barcodes or RFID tags. The system provides real‑time location, motion, and status data that integrates via standard APIs into existing ERP, MES, or other industrial software, and is engineered to operate reliably in extreme heat, dust, steam, and corrosive environments.

Problem
Manufacturers often rely on barcodes, RFID tags, or other physical markers to track items, which can fail or be impractical in high‑heat, dusty, or corrosive environments. Maintaining accurate traceability under these conditions is costly and can lead to production delays, inventory errors, and safety risks.
Solution
Alat provides a marking‑free AI vision platform that uses computer vision and sensor fusion (cameras and LiDAR) to identify and track objects throughout the production line without any physical tags. The system continuously captures location, movement, and status data and streams it in real time to existing ERP, MES, or other industrial software, enabling more reliable scheduling and inventory control. Designed for harsh environments, the platform tolerates extreme heat, dust, steam, and corrosion, making it suitable for steel mills, foundries, electronics assembly, and similar settings. By eliminating the need for labels and scans, Alat reduces downtime, lowers tracking costs, and improves workplace safety.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers and plant operators in heavy‑industry sectors such as steel, foundry, automotive, electronics, and other environments where traditional tagging is unreliable.
