SIMPLE AND FAST
Automatic optical identification of articles that are difficult to distinguish
Smart Klaus® Ident identifies items within seconds using optical features - even without a barcode, QR code or RFID. No more time-consuming browsing through catalogs and tedious searches for part numbers.
Request identification solution
Is SK Ident the right solution for you?
SK Ident was developed for companies that face the daily challenge of quickly and reliably identifying similar items or items that are difficult to distinguish. Companies with a complex variety of parts, repair service providers, logistics companies and all those who require reliable item identification even without barcodes or with damaged labels benefit in particular.
Companies with a complex variety of parts
Ideal for businesses that need to quickly and reliably identify many similar items without clear labeling.
Repair and service provider
For companies that need to identify components quickly when repairing machines and systems.
Companies with returns management
Perfect for quickly identifying and classifying returns.
Storage and logistics areas
Supports the reliable allocation of items without or with damaged labeling.
Company with changing personnel
Enables even new or untrained employees to identify items reliably without specialist knowledge.
Quality assurance functional areas
For precise identification during outgoing goods inspection or during production.
Three core functions for perfect article identification
SK Ident makes identifying a complex variety of parts child's play - quickly, reliably and fully documented.
Reliable optical identification
SK Ident identifies articles within seconds based on their visual characteristics such as shape, size, color or surface - and that from thousands of different variants.

Immediate provision of information
After identification, the system immediately displays relevant master data such as item description, item number or storage compartment or prints a label if required.

Reproducible, documented results
All identification processes can be documented automatically, including image verification, time stamp and user ID for complete traceability.

How SK Ident revolutionizes your article identification
Confusion-proof - even without legible labeling
SK Ident clearly identifies items based on visual features - even if barcodes are damaged, faded or not present at all. Processes remain secure and traceable, even under difficult conditions.


Inexperienced employees? No problem!
Identification is reliable even without a drawing or specialist knowledge - this reduces training time and makes you flexible in personnel deployment planning, especially in times of a shortage of skilled workers.

Knowledge remains in the system, not in the heads of individual employees
Articles that have been learned remain permanently available - knowledge is documented, not lost. The system can also be used across locations and forms a genuine digital knowledge repository.
The most common problems with item identification - and how to solve them
Time-consuming manual parts search
Searching for part numbers in catalogs or databases costs valuable working time. SK Ident identifies components in seconds - without looking them up or asking questions.
Incorrect article identification
Mixing up similar parts leads to considerable follow-up costs. Smart Klaus® identifies each part precisely and eliminates costly mix-ups.
Dependence on specialized knowledge
If only a few employees can reliably identify parts, bottlenecks and risks arise. SK Ident makes this specialist knowledge generally available and reduces dependencies
Lack of traceability
Manual identification often lacks documentation. Smart Klaus® documents every identification process seamlessly and audit-proof.
Inefficient processes for unmarked parts
Parts without barcodes or readable identification slow down processes considerably. SK Ident enables fast, reliable processes even for unmarked items.
High training costs for new employees
Training new employees in article recognition is time-consuming and costly. With Smart Klaus®, even new employees are immediately productive - without a long induction period.
SK Ident proves itself in complex industries

Safely mastering the variety of parts
- In the mechanical engineering sector with its enormous variety of parts, SK Ident ensures the reliable identification of components - even for parts without labels or in repair processes.

Prevent mix-ups with similar components
- In electronics production with many similar components such as resistors, capacitors or connectors, SK Ident enables precise identification and prevents mix-ups.

Maximum precision for complex components
- In the automotive industry, with its complex components and strict documentation requirements, SK Ident ensures error-free identification and seamless traceability.

Quick assignment even without labeling
- In the spare parts business with thousands of similar parts, SK Ident speeds up identification considerably and ensures correct allocation even for returns without legible marking.
How automatic identification works
From component placement to complete documentation - three simple steps for item recognition in seconds.
Place article
The employee places the item to be identified under the Smart Klaus® camera. The position or orientation is not important - the system recognizes the item regardless of its position or rotation.
Automatic detection
SK Ident analyzes the component based on its visual characteristics, compares these with the stored database and identifies the item within seconds - even from thousands of different variants.
Information display & documentation
The system immediately displays all relevant information about the recognized item - from the item number and storage location to technical details. If required, a label can be printed and the process automatically documented.

Frequently asked questions about SK Ident
How does SK Ident differ from conventional identification systems?
Unlike conventional systems, SK Ident does not require barcodes, QR codes or RFID tags. The system identifies items purely visually based on their shape, color and other optical features - even if they look very similar or have no label.
How reliable is the identification of components with a similar appearance?
SK Ident is specially optimized for differentiating between similar components. The system recognizes even the subtlest differences that are barely perceptible to the human eye. During set-up, specific identification features are defined for each item, which enable unique identification.
Can we link SK Ident with our existing master data?
Yes, the system can be seamlessly linked to your existing master data. After identifying an item, SK Ident displays the relevant information from your database - from the item number and storage location to specific properties or installation instructions.
How easy is it to teach in new articles?
Teaching in new items is user-friendly and requires no programming knowledge. An article is placed under the camera, photographed and the characteristic features are marked. This process only takes a few minutes per item.
Can SK Ident also work reliably in changing light conditions?
An RGB underlight can be used to optimize the contrast and readjust the colour balance if necessary. The detection algorithms are also robust against slight fluctuations in lighting.
