DATA LABELING FOR PHYSICAL AI · MANUFACTURING

Human-grade labels for manufacturing video.

Head-mounted footage of workers assembling, fastening and inspecting parts at their stations. Labelled frame by frame by an in-house annotation team, backed by computer-vision and data engineers, working your guidelines in your formats.

THE NEW BOTTLENECK

Collecting video is solved. Labelling it isn’t.

Physical-AI teams now capture human work at a scale no one had two years ago. The constraint has moved downstream, to people who can turn those hours into labels.

PROBLEMNo annotators

→ Unlabelled hours pile up

WITH BRANDSMASHERSDedicated annotation team

→ Every release labelled on schedule

PROBLEMA rotating crowd

→ Labels drift, models learn the drift

WITH BRANDSMASHERSOne trained, scored team

→ Consistent labels, clip after clip

PROBLEMSlow hiring

→ Missed dataset releases

WITH BRANDSMASHERSPods live in 48–72 hours

→ Scale up for each drop, down after

WHAT WE LABEL

Every signal a robot learns from a human hand.

Eight label types, one team. Stack several on the same clip and get one set of guidelines and one delivery.

  • Hand pose & keypoints

    21-point hand skeletons per frame, left and right, with occlusion flags.

  • 3D pose review

    Check 3D hand and body pose outputs; flag frames that break your error thresholds.

  • Action segmentation

    Start and end of every step: reach, grasp, tighten, release, inspect.

  • Hand–object contact

    Which hand touches which object, and when contact begins and ends.

  • Tools & objects

    Boxes, masks and tracks for tools, parts and workpieces across the clip.

  • Language narration

    Step-by-step captions written for vision-language-action training.

  • Clip curation

    Score clips on hand visibility and manipulation density; drop the rest.

  • Privacy redaction

    Blur faces, badges and screens before data leaves the factory.

HOW IT WORKS

People where judgement matters, models where it doesn’t.

SCOPE A PILOT
  1. WITH YOU01

    Calibrate

    Guidelines, edge cases and a gold set, agreed with you.

  2. MODEL02

    Pre-label

    Model-assisted first pass, so people correct rather than draw.

  3. HUMAN03

    Label

    Trained annotators work in your tool or ours.

  4. HUMAN04

    Review

    A second reviewer checks every clip; a lead settles disagreements.

  5. AUTOMATED05

    Score

    Each batch is scored against the gold set before it ships.

  6. PIPELINE06

    Deliver

    WebDataset sidecars, COCO, JSON or your own schema.

  • CV engineering
  • Format & QA tooling
OPS & COMPLIANCE

Handled end to end

Contracts, NDAs, payroll, access control and offboarding, so you manage output, not people.

QUALITY YOU CAN AUDIT

You set the bar. We show you we cleared it.

Acceptance thresholds are yours. Every batch is reported against them: gold-set accuracy, reviewer agreement and per-annotator scorecards, so quality is a number you can check.

WHY BRANDSMASHERS

A labelling vendor that’s also an engineering team.

  • One team, two skill sets

    Annotators and the engineers who build your pipelines and pre-label models sit together. No hand-offs between vendors.

  • Security from day one

    NDAs, role-based access, least-privilege credentials and clean offboarding. Footage never sits on personal devices.

  • Scale with every release

    Grow the team for a dataset drop and shrink it after: hourly, monthly or full-time.

BY INDUSTRY

One playbook, tuned to every floor.

Worked examples of how we’d run a labelling programme in five industries: the footage, the labels and the rules that matter. Illustrations of our approach, not past client results.
