Built right, even by your newest operator.

One photo shows how it is. Two show what’s wrong.

Gearbox covers, plugs and oil levels, terminal box wiring, workstations at the end of the shift. One photo before the part moves to the next station: Precisino checks it against the reference photo and shows what’s missing, right away. No manual to read. The operator just takes a photo.

  • One screw is missing: at the bottom there is only the empty threaded hole, and just five can be counted.
  • The torque seal is missing where the screw isn't fitted: finish tightening and draw the line on all six.

  • The drain plug at the bottom is not screwed home: it sticks out of the hole — screw it all the way back in.

  • The brass link bar is missing from the three upper terminals — fit it and tighten the nuts.
  • The green-and-yellow lead is loose with its ring terminal off the earth stud — refit it under the earth screw and tighten.

  • Three spanners and a hammer have been left on the bench: hang them back on their outlines on the board.

Four real cases, and the verdict your team would see.

These are real photos, and the engine wrote each verdict by looking at them, once. If it had failed a “good” photo, you’d be reading that here.

Questions

Questions, answered in full.

What’s a 5S audit, and how do you run one with a photo?

5S is the method for keeping a workstation in order: Sort (out with what isn’t needed), Set in order (every tool in its place), Shine (clean at the end of the shift), Standardise (write the rule down) and Sustain (check it’s followed). Step four, the rule, is almost always a photo already pinned to the board: “this is what right looks like”. Precisino takes that photo as its reference and does step five, the check, every time an operator photographs the workstation at the end of the shift.

How do I write a work instruction without an engineering department?

You don’t write it. You photograph a correctly built sub-assembly, once, and Precisino reads the photo and proposes the checklist: “six screws with washers”, “gasket seated”, “torque seal on every screw”. You correct it with a tap if you need to. From then on, that photo is the instruction: someone new looks at it, builds the part, takes a photo, and knows straight away whether it’s right.

We already have machine vision on the line. Do we still need this?

On an automated line with fixed cameras and a recipe for every part number, you don’t need us. Precisino is for everything else: manual lines, assembly stations, benches, workstations. The places where there’s no fixed camera and never will be, because the part changes every hour or the volume doesn’t justify one. There, the sensor is the operator’s phone.

How do I train a new operator on a workstation?

Give them the photo of how it should look, and ask them to take a photo when they’ve finished. The verdict tells them what’s missing before the part moves on. Their first few days are all in the log, so you know when you can leave them to it — without standing over them.

Does it help with health and safety? What does it actually record?

It records that the workstation was left the way the procedure says, shift by shift, with the photo, the date and the label of whoever took it. PPE in its place, bench clear, escape routes free. It doesn’t replace your risk assessment and it isn’t a certification: it’s the log that shows the procedure is being followed.

How much does it cost, and how do we pay?

Two plans, both set out in full on the Pricing page: €69 a month for one site, €499 a month for unlimited sites. We invoice by hand at the end of the month — there’s no credit card and no automatic payment in the product. And going over your included photos never means a surprise charge.

Do I need to install or buy anything?

No. There isn’t even an app to download. The operator opens the browser on the phone they already carry, takes the photo, and that’s it: nothing to install, no devices to buy, no training courses. It works on older phones too, because the photo is processed on our server, not on the phone.

Who can see the photos, and how long do you keep them?

Only people in your company, and the API keys you create yourself. No other customer sees anything. Photos are kept in a private archive in Europe, and every link to view one expires after an hour. We keep them for as long as you need the log, and delete them when you ask. What you photograph is the workstation and the part, not the person working there. Recognisable people add nothing, so keep them out of shot.

Does the photo check ever get it wrong? What happens then?

Yes, sometimes — a screw in shadow, a dark sleeve on a dark background or a reflection on the oil can leave it unsure. That’s why a verdict never closes anything on its own: it’s a flag that a person confirms or disputes with one tap, and every correction stays in the log. If one checklist item keeps giving wrong verdicts, you rewrite that item: it’s two lines, and the change applies from the next version of the reference photo. Precisino decides nothing. It does the groundwork for the person who decides.

Does it connect to the QMS or MES we already use?

Yes — that’s how Precisino is built. The web app you use is a client of the same public API you can call yourself. Create an API key in Settings, call POST /verdicts with the photo, and you get the result back item by item. Webhooks tell you when a verdict is ready, or when someone disputes one. The API reference is at /en/docs. The integration with your own system you can write yourselves, or we can build it with you as a project.
