AI Vision

Computer-vision AI built into a scale-software stack — driver-license OCR, license-plate recognition, material classification, and BOL/manifest reading.

## What is AI Vision in a scrap yard?

A modern scale-software AI Vision stack includes:

- **LPR (License Plate Recognition)** — see *LPR*.
- **Driver-license OCR** — auto-extract fields from a scanned ID.
- **BOL OCR** — read inbound mill paperwork.
- **Material classification** — identify metal type from a camera image (research-stage at most vendors).
- **Battery chemistry classification** — distinguish LFP from NMC from LCO for proper segregation.

## Why operators care

Every second shaved off the scale-house cycle is a truck off the queue. AI Vision compresses ticket time from 4–6 minutes to 60–90 seconds.

## How WeighPay handles AI Vision

WeighPay AI Vision runs on standard webcams and dedicated LPR cameras. Models are tuned on millions of real scrap-yard images.
