Most quality systems see the problem, then forget the lesson. Shelfmark turns every run into production intelligence.

This is what smarter looks like.

  1. 1.

    Detect.

    Catch every defect, at full line speed, without ever touching a model. A state-of-the-art AI inspection system tuned to your substrate and line, that creates a defect-mapped digital twin of every run, viewable on our platform.

  2. 2.

    Predict.

    Prevent defects with root-cause analysis that connects defect information to data from the floor to understand why it happened in the first place. And stop it from happening again.

  3. 3.

    Prevent.

    Shelfmark turns what it learns into production intelligence you can visualize and act on. Less waste, less downtime, and more great product out the door.

Continuous lines don’t need another tool to babysit.

They need a memory: intelligence that learns from every defect, every signal, and gets better with every run.

How it works.

We manage the system that lets your line learn.

Specifically designed for continuous flow inspection problems others call impossible.

01

Camera

The eyes

A vision setup that's flexible, allowing us to tailor to the specifics of your web, your substrate, and your line speed.

02

Hardware

The edge

State-of-the-art NVIDIA compute, on-prem in a rugged box wired straight to your line and the vision system.

03

Software

The platform

A browser-based live dashboard that allows you to view any line from anywhere, generate audit-ready report cards, and visualize predictive data.

04

Machine learning

The intelligence

A menu of large, custom-built models that allow us to find defects without a reference image across hundreds of SKUs.

We don’t sell you a camera and wish you luck. We manage the technology, so you get a smarter line, not more work.

Talk to a
Shelfmark expert.

See if it’s a fit.
In 30 minutes you’ll know whether we can catch your defects, on your substrate, and your line speed.
See what’s possible.
We can show you the real thing. A line with every defect caught automatically; fewer escapes, less rework, and capacity you didn’t know you had.
See if we are full of shit.
We are a young company doing things that have never been done before. We own that, and we will answer any questions you have.

How long does it take to install on a single line?

Most single-line installs are running within a few weeks. We mount cameras at the inspection point, tune the models to your substrate and line speed, and work alongside your team before you rely on it.

What is it actually like to work with Shelfmark?

Less like buying a machine, more like adding a quality team. You get a named expert through install and after it. We watch the system’s performance, tune it as your products change, and show up when something needs attention. Our customers talk to us weekly, not once a year at renewal.

How is Shelfmark priced?

We price as a subscription that covers the hardware, the platform, and the team managing it. We think OpEx pricing aligns our incentives so that we only get paid if it’s working, but are flexible depending on budget allocation.

What’s the typical ROI / payback period?

It depends on your scrap rate and the value of your line, but customers typically see payback inside the first year. It comes from reduced scrap, fewer escapes, and far less manual review. We’ll model it against your real numbers before you commit.

What happens when our AI flags a false positive?

Every flag is logged with the image, so your team can confirm or dismiss it in seconds and the model learns from the correction. We own that tuning, so false positives trend down over time instead of turning into alarm fatigue.

Which industries does Shelfmark cover?

We serve continuous manufacturing across industries like decorated apparel, industrial film, labels and packaging, coil coating, technical webbings, and trusses. If your line runs continuously and an escaped defect costs you money, we likely fit.

What does “managed” actually mean day-to-day?

It means you don’t babysit a rules engine. We own model tuning, drift, and upkeep. Your team sees results and acts on them, and they never have to learn a vision system or write a rule.

Does this work on our older equipment?

Usually, yes. We add our own cameras and compute at the line edge, so we don’t depend on the age or controls of your machine. If there’s a genuine constraint, we’ll tell you on the first call.

What data leaves our plant?

You control it. Inspection runs at the edge; what syncs to the platform is your choice. We’ll walk through exactly what leaves the plant and can keep sensitive data on-site.

Do we own our data?

Yes. Your inspection data and images are yours. We don’t sell them or train shared models on them without your say-so, and you can export everything at any time.
