(nabrio.com) --- # What you can build with Nabrio Every use case follows the same pattern: input, process, action. Pick one to see how it works, what you need, and where it already runs. ## Manufacturing - [Item and pallet counting](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/item-and-pallet-counting.md): Count items, parts, products and pallets with IP or industrial cameras. Each item is counted once, with live totals for your MES or ERP, on-premise. - [Visual quality inspection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/visual-quality-inspection.md): Inspect every item for defects, colour, contaminants, size, presence, codes and text. Nara passes, rejects and logs each part on-premise. - [Defect detection and rejection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/defect-detection-and-rejection.md): Detect cracks, chips, scratches, dents, discolouration, wet spots and missing seals, and signal your PLC to reject the item. Runs on-premise. - [Foreign object detection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/foreign-object-detection.md): Detect contaminants in pellets, powders, food and rubber in real time. Alert, hold or reject, with every event logged with images, on-premise. - [Assembly verification](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/assembly-verification.md): Check that every part, screw, clip and label is present, correct and in place for each product variant. Pass or fail goes to the line, logged per unit. - [Sorting and grading](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/sorting-and-grading.md): Classify products by type, colour, grade, code or text and drive your sorter through the PLC. Colour and code sorting built in; grades trained in Reva. - [Robot and AMR orchestration](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/robot-and-amr-orchestration.md): Let cameras decide what robots and AMRs do next. Nara checks the station and signals the robot arm and AMR, with a live dashboard and no code. - [Gauge reading](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/gauge-reading.md): Read analog dials and digital displays from a camera, log values continuously, alarm when out of range and send them to SCADA. No more walk rounds. - [Machine status monitoring](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/machine-status-monitoring.md): Watch stack lights and HMIs with a camera to log machine state and downtime on machines with no network interface. Dashboards and alerts on-premise. - [Barcode and label inspection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/barcode-and-label-inspection.md): Read 1D/2D codes and printed text, including Thai, and check lot numbers, expiry dates and labels against expected values. Reject mismatches automatically. - [PPE detection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/ppe-detection.md): Check every person for helmets, vests, masks, hairnets, gloves and coats. Local alarms, supervisor alerts with evidence and compliance dashboards. - [Danger zone monitoring](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/danger-zone-monitoring.md): Detect people in robot cells, crane zones and machine areas while equipment runs. Alarm, slow or stop the machine through the PLC, and log every event. ## Retail - [People counting](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/people-counting.md): Count visitors in and out correctly across every entrance. Person re-identification stops double counting, with hourly totals on dashboards and over MQTT. - [Heatmaps and dwell time](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/footfall-heatmaps-and-dwell-time.md): See which zones, stores and displays attract or lose traffic. Visits per zone, paths, heatmaps, dwell time and attention, from cameras you already have. - [Visitor demographics](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/visitor-demographics.md): Estimate visitor age, gender and mood by zone and time, anonymously and on-site, to plan tenant mix, campaigns and events. - [Staff presence monitoring](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/staff-presence-monitoring.md): Count staff on duty by role and tell managers, staff and customers apart by uniform, with no model training. Alerts when staffing drops below the minimum. - [Queue monitoring](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/queue-monitoring.md): Count people and waiting time in checkout and counter queues, and call more staff when the queue passes a threshold. Also for work-in-progress buffers. ## Smart city - [Traffic monitoring](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/traffic-monitoring.md): Count vehicles per lane and direction, classify cars, motorbikes, buses and trucks, and detect congestion at the edge, without streaming video to the cloud. - [Traffic violation detection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/traffic-violation-detection.md): Detect lane, bus-lane, parking, stopping and wrong-way violations with lines, zones and timers, and capture the plate, image and time as evidence. ## Buildings and security - [Fire and smoke detection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/fire-and-smoke-detection.md): Detect flames and smoke with your existing IP cameras and alert the control room, Teams or Telegram immediately, with an image. Runs on-site. - [Fall detection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/fall-detection.md): Detect falls and people lying down for longer than a set time, and send an urgent alert with location and image. For lone workers, care homes and hotels. - [Licence plate recognition](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/licence-plate-recognition.md): Read licence plates, including Thai characters, check them against an allow-list or booking, open the barrier and log time in and out. On-premise. - [Intrusion detection](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/intrusion-detection.md): Turn existing CCTV into smart alarms for people, vehicles and animals in zones on a schedule, day or night, without internet. Alerts go to guards’ phones. - [Face recognition access control](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/face-recognition-access-control.md): Open doors and gates only for enrolled people, with anti-spoofing that rejects photos and screens. Combine with PPE checks or a metal detector. - [Occupancy-based energy control](https://nabrio.com/use-cases/occupancy-based-energy-control.md): Switch lights and air-conditioning per zone based on whether people are present, through smart relays, building automation or Home Assistant.
