Production line

Also known as photography production line. Category: E-commerce and workflow

A photography production line organises a studio like an assembly line: products move through specialised stations for scanning and measuring, styling, robotised capture, post-processing and publishing, so that each station does one job continuously. The approach suits studios that photograph hundreds or thousands of items per shift.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot's production line has five stages: scan and measure, sort and style, rapid shoot, post-process, and API and publish. PhotoRobot states that each workstation produces roughly one product per minute, nearly 500 items per 8-hour shift, and large halls run tens of workstations in parallel.

  • Robotic workstation: One complete automated photography station: robot, cameras, lights and controlling software.
  • Throughput: How many products a studio or workstation finishes per hour or shift.
  • Production workflow: The stages a product passes through in a photo studio, from intake to delivery and return.
  • SmartCodes: Printed PhotoRobot trigger codes that start software actions when scanned, such as starting a capture sequence.
  • CubiScan: A dimensioning system that weighs and measures items; PhotoRobot records its data with the product images.
