Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to common questions about H₁. If you need more detail, reach us at contact@h1visionai.com.

What is H₁?

H₁ is a vision-powered digital operations consultant. It uses existing cameras and AI to observe how people and machines work, measure performance, and recommend process improvements in real time.

How is it different from OEE or MES?

Traditional systems focus on machines. H₁ captures human motion and interaction patterns as well, exposing hidden losses such as waiting, search, motion waste, and imbalanced workloads.

Do we need new hardware?

No. H₁ connects to your existing CCTV/IP cameras. Analysis runs on blurred or on‑premise video and converts activity into structured data. No new sensors or line disruptions required.

What insights do we get?

  • Idle/wait time reduction and bottleneck detection
  • Workstation layout and line balance suggestions
  • Training opportunities and standard work compliance
  • Safety and fatigue risk indicators
  • Maintenance prompts based on observed patterns

How do you handle privacy and security?

H₁ does not identify individuals. Processing can occur on blurred frames or on‑premise. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Customers control retention and access. Models focus on motion and task flow, not faces.

How long does deployment take?

Most sites go live in 2–5 days. We connect to camera feeds, calibrate for your layout, and begin generating insights. No downtime required.

What does the dashboard include?

  • Floor view with live activity
  • Human efficiency and OEE metrics
  • Bottlenecks, heatmaps, and idle time
  • AI recommendations with measurable impact

Does H₁ integrate with our systems?

Yes. We support exports and APIs for MES/ERP/BI tools, plus alerts to Slack, Teams, or email.

What results should we expect?

Typical pilots surface 10–25% efficiency gains within weeks through reduced idle time, balanced stations, and faster cycles. Many recover costs in under a month.

Which industries are supported?

H₁ is industry‑agnostic and works across automotive, metal fabrication, electronics, packaging, and other discrete or process environments.

How do we start?

Join the pilot waitlist or contact us. We will review your lines, connect to a few cameras, and deliver a focused pilot plan.
