It is also understaffed; each supervisor, on average, is responsible for 50+ workers. \n\nCompanies struggle to boost efficiency because they cannot determine what caused the problem. \n\nAsk any manufacturing company owner about the last time they reached their productivity targets and you will get a very long, frustrated answer.\n\n# **For the first time ever, Optifye makes it… not a blackbox!**\n\nWe place cameras in manufacturing lines and use computer vision to count the number of pieces each workspace makes in real-time.\n\nWe then relay this information on a dashboard.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87931\u0026key=user_uploads/1289176/58cd8240-7fe5-4884-b809-581905b11f89)\n\nWe believe that if you can measure it, you can improve it. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87931\u0026key=user_uploads/1289176/dd1da477-3736-42fb-8f82-f76d7d32c77b)\n\n# **What this means for the ____**\n\n**Owner**: Gets accurate real-time factory, line, and workspace productivity metrics - no need to rely on your production head (who never has the incentive to say production looks terrible)\n\n**Production Head**: Gets line-wise and workspace-wise metrics to identify areas for improvement\n\n**Shopfloor supervisor**: Can finally identify what is causing inefficiency in the line and fix the problem on the go\n\nWe align every stakeholder with manufacturing companies’ primary KPI – efficiency.\n\nKnow any manufacturing company owners? \n\nLet us know at [founders@optifye.ai](mailto:founders@optifye.ai), and we’ll help them drop their cortisol levels :) \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=87931\u0026key=user_uploads/1289176/387126da-5b03-41ab-b442-9f2ca0dbcb86)\n\n","slug":"MsF-optifye-ai-ai-performance-monitoring-for-factory-workers","created_at":"2025-02-23T02:27:13.182Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T02:51:06.035Z","total_vote_count":82,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MsF-optifye-ai-ai-performance-monitoring-for-factory-workers","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=87931\u0026key=user_uploads/1289176/58cd8240-7fe5-4884-b809-581905b11f89","company":{"id":30315,"name":"Optifye.ai","slug":"optifye-ai","url":"https://www.optifye.ai","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d86ffdce2296389239f29bc23023bc7867815208.png","batch":"Winter 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["Hard Tech","Computer Vision","Manufacturing"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30315"}}
