How can a brick, block or paver plant use computer vision to check product before it is cubed and shipped?

# How can a brick, block or paver plant use computer vision to check product before it is cubed and shipped?

Cameras over the line after the press or the kiln take photos of each unit or row. A model trained on the plant own images, labeled against its own specs, marks likely defects such as cracks, chipped edges and corners, warping, wrong size or shape, color that does not match the blend, surface blemishes and units stuck together. Each flag keeps its photo and is tagged with the line, the time and the kiln car or rack, so the team can trace a run of defects to a mold, a press setting or a kiln zone and fix it early. Flagged units can be pulled before cubing. The quality team checks samples each shift and decides what ships, is sold as seconds or is crushed. The model does not replace strength tests, absorption tests or product specs, which stay in place, and people make every quality and release call.

## What this means in practice

- Start with one line and one product.
- Label photos from your own units against your own specs.
- Tag each flag with the line, time and kiln car or rack.
- Pull flagged units before cubing.
- Keep strength and absorption tests in place.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
