The Zira Newsletter

The shop floor doesn’t take a vacation. Neither does your visibility.

Whether you are on the plant floor or enjoying a few days away, Zira AI Vision keeps your operations visible, connected and ready to respond. This summer, we are introducing new ways to turn AI detections into immediate action, expanding our pallet grading and sorting capabilities and welcoming our newest customers as Zira expands globally.

01Introducing Zira AI Vision Andon

AI Vision Can Now Trigger Action

For the first time, an Andon light can respond directly to what an AI camera sees. When Zira detects a quality defect, production event, machine issue or safety concern, the Andon changes immediately, alerting operators exactly where action is needed.

Red  Quality defect or critical event
Blue  Production or machine event
Green  Normal operation or operator confirmation

No waiting for reports. No need to watch a dashboard. The right alert reaches the floor in real time, helping teams respond faster and prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems.

AI can now do more than detect. It can help the floor respond.

02Zira Dry Contact

Connect AI to Your Existing Process

Zira’s dry-contact capability creates a simple connection between AI Vision detections and existing shop-floor equipment. A detection can be used to activate:

This allows manufacturers to add AI-driven actions without replacing their current systems or creating a complicated integration project.

See it. Detect it. Act on it.
03AI Grading & Sorting for Recycled Pallets

Every Pallet Inspected

Manual grading can vary between operators and shifts, creating inconsistent decisions, labor dependency and production bottlenecks. Zira AI Grading & Sorting helps recycled pallet operations inspect, classify and route pallets in real time. The system provides:

Zira AI detection of a broken board on a recycled pallet
Broken board detected and flagged in real time.
Zira AI detection of protruding nails on a pallet board
Protruding nails identified on the line.
Consistent gradingA, B and reject decisions applied the same way, every shift.
Automated routingGrading and routing decisions at production speed.
Live countsPallet counts and throughput, updated in real time.
Uptime visibilityUptime and downtime across the entire line.
Documented decisionsImages and records supporting each decision.
Across locationsPerformance visibility across shifts and sites.

Every pallet is measured. Every decision is documented. Every result is traceable.

Zira’s platform is designed to inspect and grade continuously at production speed while providing live operational visibility into the entire line.
