The benefits

Why Orbitvu

Lower cost per item

No outside photographers. No separate measurement station. No retyping label data. The more parts you run, the lower the cost.

Fast & consistent results across operators and shifts

Templates apply the same angles, lighting, and data fields to every part, so the output doesn't change.

Maximum efficiency with everything captured in one session

Images, dimensions, weight, and label data are recorded in a single pass and sent to your PIM, ERP, or spare parts catalog.

Your catalog matches the real part

Every image and measurement comes from the actual part and has a clear source (MDC/AI OCR/entered manually), so it's data you can trust.

Industrial process: step-by-step

From physical part todigital catalog entry - in 5 steps

Repeatable, documentation-grade product capture and data extraction.AI assists to improve the process, but stays out of the waywhere accuracy is non-negotiable.

Step 1

Place the item

Place your item on the turntable. The positioning laser guides you to the exact center. The AI photo assistant will help you to set up lighting and the camera, or choose from a pre-defined template. Hit capture, and the process begins.

Step 2

Measure & weigh

Capture your product dimensions and weight. Embedded laser measurement and digital weight allow you to capture your part's dimensions and weight and record automatically in user-defined metadata.

Step 3

Capture visuals - with or without AI

Select a predefined template or create your own. The system captures your part precisely, from multiple angles, in seconds. Every shot follows the same standard, every time.

Step 4

Extract label data

Get complete, structured product information - saved and ready for your PIM or ERP. AI OCR reads your labels, part numbers, serial codes, and barcodes and stores them in individual metadata fields. OCR and label scanning

Step 5

Publish to your systems

Publish your approved assets and structured product data automatically to your PIM or ERP. PIM and ERP

FAQ

Industrial FAQ

One station captures images, measurements, weight, and label data in one pass. Scan the barcode, place the part on the table, and click "Capture". The template runs a 360° capture with lighting predefined per shot, Alphashot XL G2 MDC records dimensions and weight, AI OCR reads the label, and files publish to selected destinations. Dimensions, weight, and label data are written to file metadata. Templates deliver consistent results with no photography training. Publication profiles batch-export sessions to multiple destinations, formats, and variations.

Reflective and shiny metal parts are handled through enclosed capture, controlled lighting, and targeted retouching. The enclosed chamber blocks ambient reflections. Advanced high-contrast lighting combines high-quality diffusers with LEDs on a black solder mask, bringing out contrast on metallic and transparent surfaces. Chrome remains challenging: AI Retoucher smooths harsh mirror-like reflections while preserving the real product's shine, and accessories like the Eyewear Diffusor Cone for the Alphashot Pro G2 further reduce reflections at capture.

Yes. Orbitvu produces GS1-compliant images through template configuration. In the template, you select the required GS1 settings: 1:1 aspect ratio, pure white background, resolution tier (web 900×900 to 2400×2400 px; print 2401 to 4800 px at 300 ppi), 24+ frames per rotation, and file names based on GTIN. One template then enforces these settings at scale. Devices with a camera angle scale set the required viewing angle precisely and consistently.

Throughput depends on the workflow. With a simple template and a skilled operator, one station handles 200+ parts per shift. A full cycle including measurement, weighing, and OCR takes 3 to 5 minutes per part. In Alphashot XL G2, throughput reaches up to 250 parts per day when the process is very simple. We provide an accurate estimate based on your specific part mix and workflow.

Orbitvu works with SAP, Oracle, and other ERP systems. Integration runs through cloud storage (S3, Azure Blob, Google Storage), custom publishing scripts, and API access, which reach virtually any downstream system. Measurement data and AI OCR results are written into file metadata that ERP and PIM systems can read. For specific requirements, we build a custom integration with you.

The best way to digitize a spare parts catalog is one system that produces a complete record for each part in a single session - consistent, repeatable, and easy to operate. Each session captures photos, dimensions, weight, and label data for one part, and publishing takes one click. Įrankiai.lt maintains a 60,000-product catalog this way. Device selection depends on the part's dimensions.

No photography background is required. Orbitvu trains your operator on the basics of photography and, most importantly, on your specific use case - on a device configured exactly as it will run in daily field conditions, aligned with your requirements. Templates then hold results consistent across operators and shifts. Onboarding is straightforward.

Yes, on the documentation side. Orbitvu devices provide the input QC teams work from: repeatable capture, timestamped auditable records, and dimensions plus weight logged per shipment. The analysis itself runs as a separate process on your end. Automated defect detection is not part of the current system.
