Eliminate manual part counting.
Cut costs. Automate everything.
Vision AI system that automatically counts, verifies and manages any industrial component on a conveyor belt — without operators, 24/7, zero errors.
Automatic part counting
in three steps.
Three steps stand between your production line and a conveyor belt parts counter with zero errors.
High-speed acquisition
The system handles conveyor belts up to 6 m/s: the 200 fps camera captures every single part even at the highest production rates.
AI recognition
The artificial intelligence model, trained specifically on your parts, identifies and classifies them in just 3 ms per image, in real time.
Certain, instant data
The verified count is available in real time for your management system, with no human intervention and no margin for error.
The part counting software
built for industry.
Every aspect of the AimTrace AI parts counting system is designed for demanding industrial environments.
AI parts counter — trainable on any part
The AI parts counting system adapts to any type of part. New product? Just a few training sessions to teach it what to look for.
Up to 6 m/s belt speed
Ultra-fast belts are no longer a problem. 200 fps acquisition ensures a throughput that no traditional system can match.
Industry 4.0 integration
Output compatible with leading MES and ERP systems. Counting data flows in real time into your existing infrastructure.
Versatile on any part
Screws, stampings, medical components, food: if it passes on a belt, AimTrace counts it. Shape, colour, size are not a limit.
Real-time dashboard
Live production monitoring, automatic alerts, counting history and exportable reports — all in an interface designed for the operator.
Industrial robustness
Hardware and software designed to withstand dust, vibrations and continuous production cycles 24/7, 7 days a week.
Scale and photocell.
Not good enough anymore.
Traditional counting methods have structural limitations that cost time and money. AimTrace overcomes them all.
Approximation errors guaranteed
Weight is not quantity. Shape variations, dimensional tolerances and defective parts turn every weighing into an estimate, not an exact count.
Every part is counted visually, one by one. The result is a certain number, not an approximation derived from weight.
Counts pulses, not parts
Two parts touching? The photocell counts them as one. Tilted or dragged parts fool the sensor: a single error multiplies across thousands of parts.
AI analyses every frame: it recognises parts even when they touch, overlap, or are arranged irregularly.
Slow, costly, and unreliable
An operator busy counting isn't producing. Fatigue causes growing errors throughout the shift, and the final figure depends on one person's attention — not a system.
Counting happens automatically, 24/7, without breaks and without distraction errors. Operators are freed for value-added tasks.
The vision system that counts parts
with absolute precision.
AimTrace is the industrial parts counting software powered by state-of-the-art neural networks trained on your specific parts. The result: an AI parts counter capable of distinguishing, counting and classifying with precision that surpasses the human eye.
Automatic counting works even in difficult conditions: overlapping parts, varying angles, reflections and lighting variations typical of real production environments are not a problem.
The hidden cost
of manual counting.
Every day you count by hand or by weight, you're paying operators to do something a machine can do better, faster and without ever stopping.
Manual counting
- ✕ Operators dedicated solely to counting — paid to not produce
- ✕ Errors increase during the shift due to fatigue and distraction
- ✕ Batches shipped with wrong quantities: returns, complaints, damaged reputation
- ✕ Scale or photocell: estimated data, not certain — approximation guaranteed
- ✕ Production bottleneck: the line speed depends on one person
- ✕ No reliable historical data for planning and inventory management
Full automation
- ✓ Automatic counting 24/7: zero dedicated operators, zero recurring costs
- ✓ Constant precision: every part counted one by one, regardless of the time
- ✓ Batches always correct: no returns for wrong quantities, reputation intact
- ✓ Certain data in real time, even with overlapping or irregular parts
- ✓ Continuous line at full speed: counting is never the bottleneck
- ✓ Complete history integrated with MES/ERP for planning and traceability
If you count manually today,
AimTrace automates everything.
AimTrace is already running in sectors where manual or weight-based counting is still the norm. These are the markets with the fastest return on investment.
Bolts & Fasteners
Screws, bolts, washers and nuts counted and packaged with absolute precision. Zero kit errors, zero returns for wrong quantities.
Metal Small Parts
Contract manufacturing of metal components: automatic batch-by-batch counting, always correct delivery notes, full traceability.
Logistics & Industrial Kits
Order preparation with multiple components: the system verifies the quantity of each part before packaging, eliminating picking errors.
Technical E-commerce
Product kits for online sales: automatic counting before packing ensures every shipment contains exactly what was ordered.
Do you have a manual counting process in your facility?
If you count parts manually or by weight today, this system automates the entire process — whatever your sector.
Automatic part counting on conveyor belt. In the field.

Try it in person
with your own parts.
We took AimTrace to trade shows — and the demo unit stayed. It is now installed at our facility in Castegnato (BS): come and see it in action, bring your own parts, and experience first-hand how fast and accurate the automatic counting is.

Answers to the most common questions about AimTrace.
Yes. The AI model is trained specifically on your parts: fasteners, plastic mouldings, medical components, food items, metal parts. If it moves along a conveyor belt, AimTrace counts it. Only a few training sessions are needed to teach the system a new product.
Mechanical installation on the conveyor belt typically takes one to two days. This is followed by AI model training sessions — duration depends on part variety — and configuration of the ERP/MES integration. The Imago & AMCO team handles the entire process on-site.
Yes. AimTrace outputs real-time counting data via standard protocols compatible with the most common MES and ERP systems. Integration is assessed on a case-by-case basis during the setup phase, based on your existing infrastructure.
Yes, and this is one of its key advantages over photocell systems. The AI analyses every frame and distinguishes parts even when they touch, overlap, or are oriented irregularly — conditions that fool any pulse-based system.
No. The hardware is designed for industrial environments (dust, vibration, 24/7 cycles) and the software runs autonomously. A periodic model review is recommended when new products are introduced, but no continuous operator intervention is required.
Absolutely. The demo unit is installed at Imago's facility in Castegnato (BS): bring your parts and see AimTrace running live. Contact us to book a visit — contact us or call us.
