Saros Machines / AI Process Analysis

Your operators wear a lightweight camera during normal shifts. Our AI analyzes every cycle to find SOP bottlenecks and the workflows where automation delivers the highest return.

  • Clean handling of delicate parts
  • Small-part assembly

A different approach

An automation engineer on every station, worn by the people who do the work.

No engineer standing by the line. Your operators wear a lightweight camera; AI does the analysis.

  1. 01Observation

    A few days on site

    Every shift, recorded as work happens

  2. 02Measurement

    Stopwatch samples of a few cycles

    Every cycle, timed step by step by AI

  3. 03Coverage

    One line at a time

    Many stations and lines in parallel

  4. 04Consistency

    Depends on who is watching

    The same method on every station

Operator's hands working at a production station

Nothing about the work changes. Operators do their job as usual; the camera records what they see and do.

What our AI sees

Every cycle measured. Every step understood.

Partner with Saros

Become a Saros partner factory.

You choose the stations. Your operators wear our cameras. We turn the footage into answers.

What partner factories receive

  • SOP bottleneck analysis

  • Workflows ranked by return

  • Compensation for participation

  • Priority access to pilots

How a partnership runs

01 / 04

  1. 01

    Choose stations

    We agree which lines, stations, and tasks to record.

  2. 02

    Record real shifts

    Operators wear a lightweight head-mounted camera while they work.

  3. 03

    AI analysis

    Our AI splits every cycle into timed steps, flags SOP deviations, and finds the bottlenecks.

  4. 04

    Review together

    We walk through the findings and the highest-return opportunities.

Scope, schedule, and terms are agreed in writing before anything is recorded.

Summary

Fastening takes almost half of every cycle. It is the clearest candidate for automation at this station, and a screwdriving robot could take it over.

Findings and recommendations

Findings

  1. 1.Fastening is the slowest step: 29 of 62 seconds.
  2. 2.Night-shift cycles run up to 40% longer.
  3. 3.Inspection was skipped in about 1 in 10 cycles.

About the name

Named for the world's first mechanical predictions.

Over two thousand years ago, the Antikythera mechanism used astronomical cycles to turn observations of the physical world into predictions encoded in machinery.

One of those cycles was the Saros.

Today, Saros Machines carries that idea into a new era. We believe real-world observations can help machines learn to understand and eventually act in the physical world.

The principle remains the same: intelligence begins with understanding reality.
