Annotation Services for Manufacturing and Logistics

The data types manufacturing and logistics teams send us most often. Every service starts with a free pilot.

How We Deliver Your Project

From your first sample to production volume, every project follows the same six-step path, with no commitment until the pilot proves the quality.

  1. Step 01

    NDA and Discovery

    We sign an NDA first, then clarify your goals, taxonomy, edge cases, and target accuracy for your dataset.

  2. Step 02

    Free Pilot

    We annotate a sample of your data at no cost, so you can judge quality, speed, and edge-case handling first-hand.

  3. Step 03

    Proposal and Agreement

    Based on your pilot feedback, we finalize scope, timeline, pricing, and the Service Level Agreement.

  4. Step 04

    Team Setup and Training

    We assemble a dedicated team, train it on your guidelines, and agree on communication channels and progress tracking.

  5. Step 05

    Production Labeling

    Our team runs annotation to the agreed plan, with throughput and accuracy KPIs tracked for every annotator.

  6. Step 06

    QA and Delivery

    Your labeled data pass multi-stage quality review before delivery. Your feedback feeds straight back into the guidelines.

    Manufacturing and Logistics FAQs

    Can you label very small defects?

    Yes. We work at full resolution with zoom-level guidelines and define minimum defect sizes during the pilot.

    What if defects are rare in our data?

    We flag and prioritize rare classes, and can review model predictions to find hard examples faster.

    Do you sign NDAs for production imagery?

    Always. Every project starts with an NDA and runs in access-controlled environments.

    Can you support multiple factories or lines?

    Yes. Guidelines are versioned per line or product so labels stay consistent across sites.
