In a landscape where artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly common, SACMI chose to follow a different path—one that leads, not follows. The result is CLASSY-AI, an innovative application developed entirely in-house, designed to tackle a fundamental question in manufacturing: "What are the defects in my production?"

Unlike standard market solutions that rely on commercial AI libraries to solve isolated inspection tasks, CLASSY-AI was conceived to reflect SACMI’s deep-rooted expertise in artificial intelligence. It’s not just about using AI—it’s about owning it. With CLASSY-AI, SACMI didn’t aim to merely offer another inspection tool. The goal was to provide a smarter, more holistic solution that delivers value far beyond defect detection.
When CLASSY-AI launched four years ago, its primary users were quality control personnel, focused on a single mission: removing non-conforming parts to ensure compliant batches. But the game has changed.
Today, the focus is on automated feedback in cap and preform production lines. Thanks to advanced sensors and intelligent systems, machines are no longer passive players—they learn, adjust, and optimize processes in real time.
This is where CLASSY-AI becomes a game-changer. It automatically names defects and identifies drifts, without the need for data scientists or technical interpretation. The result? Actionable insights, immediately accessible, with no wasted time or complexity. This streamlined approach adds value not only for SACMI customers, but also for the performance of SACMI’s own CCM and IPS machines, where vision systems powered by CLASSY-AI are installed.
In an industry where staying ahead is vital, CLASSY-AI enabled SACMI to make a bold leap forward—four years ago. Today, that decision proves more relevant than ever.
And most importantly, CLASSY-AI is not just a concept.
After extensive internal validation, the solution has been installed at some customer sites, where it’s integrated with new anomaly detection algorithms for even more easy defect identification and process drift monitoring. Following a one-year beta testing phase, customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
Key benefits reported include:
• Significant reduction in false rejects
• Faster root-cause identification
• Improved machine setup time and production stability
• Reduced reliance on specialized personnel for data interpretation
With CLASSY-AI, SACMI not only delivers innovation—it delivers results.
