BosanskiMachine Vision Traceability with ERP and MES
Connect your production line cameras directly to your ERP or MES system – capturing real-time inspection data, enabling full goods traceability, and giving your operations team complete visibility and control over every unit produced.
Manufacturing Challenges
Operational Challenges and Solutions
Production Data and ERP Records Don't Match
When vision systems and business systems operate in isolation, quality data never reaches the people who need it most – creating blind spots in production.
No End-to-End Traceability Across Line
Without camera-to-ERP integration, linking a finished product back to its specific batch, and inspection becomes a slow and error-prone manual process.
Slow Response to Quality Issues on the Line
When inspection results aren’t transmitted to your MES or ERP in real time, quality problems escalate before anyone with authority to act has been notified.
Audits Require Manual Data Collection
Disconnected systems force quality teams to manually compile production and inspection records for audits – a time-consuming process that introduces gaps.
Trusted Industrial Vision Experts Delivering Automated Systems
Future Then is a Norwegian machine vision and AI company specializing in automated inspection and production system integration for industrial environments.
We design and deploy camera-to-ERP and camera-to-MES integration solutions that ensure every inspection result, quality event, and goods movement is captured in real time – giving your business the traceability and control it needs to operate with confidence.
Real-Time Inspection Data Transfer to ERP and MES
Every inspection result captured by the vision system is transmitted instantly to your ERP or MES platform via standard industrial protocols.
Production order status, unit-level quality outcomes, rejection events, and line performance data are all recorded automatically – eliminating manual data entry and ensuring your business systems always reflect the true state of your production line.
Unit-Level Goods Traceability From Camera to System
Each product is identified and tracked individually as it passes through the vision inspection point.
The system links the unit’s identity – barcode, QR code, serial number, or batch reference – to its full inspection record in your ERP or MES, creating an unbroken chain of custody from production through to dispatch that supports full product traceability at every stage.
Automated Production Line Based on Inspection Results
When the vision system detects a non-conforming unit, it can trigger automated responses directly through the integrated systems – activating rejection mechanisms, pausing the line, or creating a quality event record in your MES.
This closes the loop between detection and action, reducing the time between identifying a problem and resolving it on the production floor.
Complete Audit Trail for Regulatory Compliance
Inspection data feeds directly into your MES, ERP, or quality management system via standard industrial protocols.
This gives your production and quality teams real-time visibility into defect rates, reject trends, and line performance – enabling faster decisions and more targeted process improvements across your entire packaging operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of box defects can you detect?
We identify crushed corners, open flaps, torn surfaces, misaligned labels, and structural deformations that compromise the integrity of your packaging.
Can the system handle different box colors?
Yes, our specialized lighting and AI algorithms are designed to maintain high contrast and detection accuracy across various cardboard colors.
Does it inspect all sides of the box?
We can configure multi-camera systems to inspect the top, bottom, and all four sides of the box simultaneously at speed.
How does the system reject damaged boxes?
The vision system triggers your mechanical diverter or pusher, instantly removing the defective box from the line without stopping production.
Can it detect if a box is empty?
While primarily visual, we can integrate volume sensors or check-weighers to verify if the box contains the correct product count.
Is the system effective at high speeds?
Absolutely. Our high-speed cameras and edge-processing units are built to inspect hundreds of boxes per minute with millisecond response times.
How do you handle different box sizes?
The system uses motorized mounts or wide-field lenses to automatically adjust to different SKU dimensions during production line changeovers.
Can we log images of defective boxes?
Yes, the system stores high-resolution images of every rejected box, providing a visual audit trail for quality control and insurance.
