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 dedicated operators, 24/7, with reliable part-by-part counting.
Automatic part counting
in three steps.
From capturing the part to data in your management system, with no manual steps.
High-speed acquisition
The system handles conveyor belts up to 6 m/s: the 200 fps camera captures every 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 reaches your management system in real time and is printed on a label together with the batch data, with no human intervention and no weight-based estimates.
The part counting software
built for industry.
Every aspect of the AimTrace AI parts counting system is designed for demanding industrial environments.
AI trainable on any part
AimTrace's artificial intelligence 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
Fast belts are no longer a problem: 200 fps acquisition keeps up with production, even at 6 m/s.
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, moulded parts, medical components, food: the AI is trained on your part, whatever its shape, colour or size.
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.
Weighing scales and photocells.
Not good enough anymore.
Traditional counting methods have structural limitations that cost time and money. AimTrace overcomes them.
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 an actual count, 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 free for value-added tasks.
Vision AI that counts
every part, one by one.
AimTrace uses state-of-the-art neural networks trained on your specific parts. The result: an AI parts counter capable of distinguishing, counting and classifying with a consistency the human eye cannot match.
Automatic counting works even in difficult conditions: overlapping parts, varying angles, reflections and lighting variations typical of real production environments are not a problem.
Finally, an integrated printer produces a label with the batch information, including the count: the figure that matters travels with the container.
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, taken away from production
- ✕ 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 verified
- ✕ Production bottleneck: the line speed depends on one person
- ✕ No reliable historical data for planning and inventory management
Full automation
- ✓ Automatic counting 24/7: no operators dedicated to counting
- ✓ Constant precision: every part counted one by one, regardless of the time
- ✓ Batches with verified quantities: fewer returns and complaints, reputation protected
- ✓ Verified 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 built for sectors where manual or weight-based counting is still the norm: the markets where the return on investment can be fastest.
Bolts & fasteners
Screws, bolts, washers and nuts counted and packaged with precision. Fewer kit errors, fewer returns for wrong quantities.
Small metal parts
Contract manufacturing of metal components: automatic batch-by-batch counting, delivery notes with verified quantities, 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.

AimTrace is the result of a collaboration between Imago S.r.l. and AMCO: industrial vision and precision mechanics, both rooted in the Brescia manufacturing district.
Imago S.r.l. specialises in industrial vision systems for demanding manufacturing sectors. On AimTrace, the Imago team developed the high-speed camera setup, the recognition software and the artificial intelligence. “Born to look beyond.”

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 a part is clearly visible on the belt, AimTrace can be trained to count 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 MES/ERP 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 pulse-based systems such as photocells.
Not on an ongoing basis. 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.
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.
