# Shelfmark > Shelfmark is the production-intelligence platform for continuous-flow manufacturing. Managed AI watches every part on the line in real time — catching defects, predicting the next ones, and explaining why they happen — so quality teams stop relying on people staring at moving material. Shelfmark installs cameras and AI models on a manufacturing line and runs them as a managed service: the customer's team never tunes a rule or babysits a system. Beyond catching defects in the moment, the platform does root-cause analysis and acts as a single source of truth for quality across plants. It serves continuous manufacturing across industries like decorated apparel, industrial film, labels and packaging, coil coating, technical webbings, and trusses, and counts manufacturers from Fortune-500 public companies to independent shops among its customers, including Airborne Systems, the largest U.S. parachute manufacturer. Shelfmark is based in Pittsburgh. The primary way to engage is to talk to an expert (often the CEO) in a short call; every page carries an inline form for that, plus a direct-booking escape link. ## Core pages - [Home](https://shelfmark.com/): What Shelfmark is, the manufacturing industries it serves, the business outcomes customers see, and the lead-capture form. - [Why Shelfmark](https://shelfmark.com/why-shelfmark): The four things Shelfmark does that legacy machine vision can't — root-cause analysis on every defect, a fully managed system, a single source of truth for quality, and state-of-the-art AI inspection. - [Newsroom](https://shelfmark.com/resources/newsroom): Announcements, press, founder posts, and the Shelfmark Memo newsletter archive. ## What Shelfmark does (facts for grounding) - Category: production-intelligence platform for manufacturing quality control. Not a "rip-and-replace machine vision vendor" — a managed platform that goes beyond inspection. - Industries: a single flat list of manufacturing industries, including decorated apparel, industrial film, labels and packaging, coil coating, technical webbings, and trusses. - Managed service: Shelfmark owns and maintains the AI models and cameras; the customer's team does not configure or maintain them. - Capabilities: in-line defect detection, defect prediction, root-cause analysis, and a queryable system of record for quality data across plants. - Proof: deployed with manufacturers ranging from large public companies to independent single-plant shops; Airborne Systems (largest U.S. parachute manufacturer) is a named customer. ## Contact - Talk to an expert: the inline form on any page, or book directly via the link beside it. - Location: Pittsburgh, USA.
