AI Supervisor for Manufacturing

Every line. Every shift.
Checked by AI.

Zigzag AI turns the CCTV your plant already has into a supervisor for every line and every shift. Skipped steps, stopped machines and safety risks reach the right person on WhatsApp while there is still time to fix them.

The real cost

One missed step. Here's what it really costs.

A story many plant heads have lived through. The figures are an example.

  1. 1

    A step gets skipped

    The gasket is not placed at station 3. Nobody is watching the line at that hour, and the register still gets signed.

    Line 2 · SOP register
    Gasket placed before cover
    Bolts torqued
    Night shift · Signed
  2. 2

    The lot is rejected

    The customer's incoming check finds the missing gasket. All 1,240 parts come back, with a debit note and the freight on you.

    + ₹2.6 lakh
    Returned parts on quality hold, an engineer checks one against the drawing
    Customer quality notice
    Lot 2417 rejected
    Gasket missing in sampled parts.
    Returned1,240 pcs
    Debit note₹40,000
  3. 3

    Rework costs almost as much as making them again

    Every part is stripped, checked and refitted. Two days of line time are taken from this week's orders, so another dispatch slips.

    + ₹1.9 lakh
    Making 1,240 new₹2.2 lakh
    Reworking them₹1.9 lakh
    And 2 days of line time
  4. 4

    Your name takes the hit

    Your supplier rating drops. A surprise audit is booked. The next order goes on hold until you show what changed.

    + the next order
    Supplier ratingAB
    Process auditBooked
    Next orderOn hold
  5. 5

    And nobody can say why

    Which shift? Which station? Who? The register says done, and there is no proof either way.

The solution

Meet your AI supervisor

Zigzag AI turns the CCTV you already have into a supervisor that watches every line, every shift, and tells the right person the moment something goes wrong.

Station 3: gasket not placed before the cover
CAM 11 · Assembly line 2 · 02:40:12
Same night shift. Caught at 02:41, fixed by 02:45.Cost: ₹0
  1. Sees it as it happens

    Every step, machine and person your cameras can see, checked against your own rules, around the clock.

  2. Tells the right person

    A WhatsApp alert with the clip goes to the supervisor in seconds. If nobody acts, it escalates.

  3. Proves it was fixed

    Every alert is tracked to closure with a photo, ready for customer audits and your review.

What Zigzag AI checks in your plant

If your camera can see it on the floor, Zigzag AI can check it.

Pick an area to see the checks plants run every day.

Quality and SOP

Every step done, in the right order, at every station. Skipped checks and defects are caught on the line, not at your customer's gate.

Have a check that is not listed?

Zigzag AI is not a fixed list of features. If a supervisor standing at your camera could notice it, we can most likely set it up as a check. Tell us what you need and our team will tell you how it would work at your site.

Checks plants have asked for

Got it. Thank you.

Our team will WhatsApp you with how this would work in your plant.

FAQ

Questions plant teams ask us most

Yes, in most plants. Zigzag AI works with the CCTV and NVRs you already have, from any major brand. We check every camera during the POC, and for spots your cameras miss you can add a Zigzag Camera.

Most plants go live within 2 hours. We connect your existing cameras, set up your first checks with your team, and start sending alerts.

Anything a supervisor standing at the camera could notice: SOP steps, PPE, machines running or idle, people at stations, forklifts, walkways, spills, smoke, trucks and gate movement. If it is not on our list, describe it and we will tell you how it would work.

The person you choose, on WhatsApp or email, with a snapshot or short clip, the camera and the time. If nobody acts, it escalates to the next person. Alerts can also show and play out loud on a Zigzag Alert at the line.

Most plants introduce it as a safety and quality tool. It watches steps, safety and machines, and alerts go to supervisors so problems are fixed on the spot.

Yes. One dashboard shows every plant, line and shift, with rankings, trends and a summary every morning.

Every check is tuned on your own cameras during the POC, and each alert carries the clip, so your team can confirm it in seconds and mark anything wrong. The checks improve with that feedback.

Yes. It counts parts, cartons, rolls, trucks and people, and checks them against your target, job card or invoice. Fast counting runs a quicker analysis on that camera, which we set up and test during the POC.

Yes. Counts, gate and vehicle logs, and alerts can flow into SAP or your ERP. Our team sets up the link with your IT team.

Plans start from ₹20K a month. Every engagement starts with a free POC on your own cameras, so you see it working before you pay.
