Case Study — Reconext

Lifting Productivity Across Every Workstation

Reconext used Safari AI at its Mexicali facility to measure workstation activity and utilization across multiple third-party production lines.

Productivity Target

The program targeted 20% higher productivity within three months

The Challenge

Line performance was measured at the end of the shift, not during it.

Across several third-party production lines, output per station varied widely. Without live activity data, supervisors found out a station had fallen behind when the shift report arrived, and strong performers went unrecognized.

  • Station productivity was only visible in end-of-shift reports
  • There was no view of which seats were used, idle or overloaded
  • Individual performance was hard to recognize and reward fairly

What We Deployed

Live activity and utilization, station by station.

STEP 01

Connected to production floor cameras via an on-premise server

Existing production floor cameras fed a lightweight on-premise server Safari AI deployed in the Mexicali facility, so video was processed on site.

STEP 02

Measured activity at every workstation

Computer vision classified each occupied station as not active, moderately active or very active, and tracked which seats were in use.

STEP 03

Benchmarked stations and flagged early

Dashboards compared each station with its type's productivity average and alerted supervisors when activity dropped below benchmark.

The Result

More output from every station, and credit where it is due.

Workstation Activity

Every occupied station was classed as not, moderately or very active, and linked to its productivity numbers.

Per seat
Utilization

Most and least used seats were identified, so stations are staffed where the work is.

Supervisor Alerts

Alerts flagged the least engaged stations against their benchmark, so supervisors help during the shift instead of after it.

Action Center

Action Center: From Insight to Action.

Measurements like these feed Safari AI's Action Center, which alerts a supervisor when a station falls below its benchmark.

Higher line output
  • Real-time recommendations to improve KPIs via email, SMS, robocall, mobile app, Power BI, or API.
  • Recommendations grounded in your own written SOPs, not generic best practices.
