VisAbility Solutions

The company has developed SmartMarker™, a unique computer vision platform that transforms traditional printed labels into rich, spatially aware asset identifiers. By adding computer vision "augmented layers" on top of the labels organizations already use, VisAbility lets customers move from slow, manual barcode scanning to fully automated tracking and localization.

With SmartMarker™, customers can continue using their existing label workflows while gaining real-time, automated insight into the exact location and status of assets.

What SmartMarker™ Does

• Turns standard, printable labels into high-precision visual markers.
• Uses standard cameras or autonomous drones instead of proprietary hardware tags.
• Provides true 3D spatial intelligence, including rack, height, and orientation.
• Delivers real-time visibility into work-in-progress (WIP), inventory, vehicles, and equipment.
• Integrates with customer systems via enterprise software and RESTful APIs.

Key Advantages

• Print it. Stick it. Track it. Customers keep their existing label process and simply add the SmartMarker™ layer.
• No batteries or proprietary tags: Passive labels eliminate battery maintenance and specialized hardware tags.
• Leverages existing infrastructure: Uses standard cameras and drones instead of costly fixed readers or antennas.
• Highly scalable: Designed to track millions of assets with essentially zero marginal cost per additional asset.
• Industrial-grade reliability: Optical tracking is immune to radio-frequency interference from metal, machinery, and RF-dense environments.

Typical Outcomes for Customers

SmartMarker™ is designed to help industrial and logistics organizations:

• Reduce search and seek time for lots, pallets, trailers, carts, and parts.
• Minimize manual scanning and human intervention in tracking processes.
• Improve inventory accuracy and WIP visibility.
• Support automation initiatives through accurate, real-time location data.

In semiconductor fabs and related facilities, SmartMarker™ is used to track lots and reticles automatically.

Typical applications

• Automated tracking of semiconductor lots and reticles without human intervention.
• Real-time location of work-in-progress (WIP) throughout the fab.
• Cart and parts localization to reduce search time on the production floor.

Selected benefits

• More accurate and timely WIP visibility.
• Reduced manual scanning and handling.
• Integration with existing manufacturing and MES platforms via RESTful APIs.

Warehouse Operations

In warehouse and distribution environments, SmartMarker™ can be applied to pallets and other labeled assets.

Typical applications

• Tracking pallets in dock door areas using the existing labeling process plus SmartMarker™ labels.
• Improving visibility into pallet movements in staging and dock areas.

Selected benefits

• Less time spent searching for pallets.
• Improved dock staging efficiency and better utilization of dock doors.

Logistics Yard Management

SmartMarker™ supports logistics yards by tracking tractors, trailers, and third-party vehicles.

Typical applications

• Tracking the location of trailers anywhere in the yard using SmartMarker™ labels (for example, 3M waterproof stickers).
• Real-time yard inventory with trip history and status updates.
• Dock staging, task creation, and move automation using live location data.
• Gate processes such as check-in and check-out with shipment information.

Selected features and benefits

• Real-time yard location and trip history with geofencing, alarms, and alert notifications.
• Visibility into dock doors, staging areas, and yard activities from a single location.
• Automation of start/stop detection, movement detection, last position, and entry/exit events.
• Carriers can see their assets in customers' yards and make gate appointments.

Aerospace and General Manufacturing

In aerospace and other advanced manufacturing environments, SmartMarker™ is used for component, equipment, and WIP tracking.

Typical applications

• Sub-assembly tracking to know where each lot or component is located.
• Localization of carts and parts in factories.
• Automated detection of movements and status changes.

Selected benefits

• Better inventory and material management with reduced seek times.
• Standard and customizable reports, dashboards, KPIs, and alerts.
• Support for continuous improvement and productivity initiatives.

Rail Yards and Vehicle Distribution Centers

SmartMarker™ also applies to large outdoor facilities such as rail yards and vehicle distribution centers.

Typical applications

• Tracking boxcars in rail yards using SmartMarker™ and autonomous drones.
• Tracking vehicles in distribution centers to maintain up-to-date inventory.

Selected benefits

• Daily or frequent inventory updates without manual counts.
• Reduced misplacement and search time for rolling stock and vehicles.
