Computer Vision
Automatic Data Capture
via AI-supported Image Data Analysis
With the help of AI-driven systems, companies can leverage unprecedented visibility and analytics to make data-driven decisions. Computer Vision is a valuable tool for companies in the manufacturing, logistics and warehousing industries. The technology makes it possible to analyze complex visual data, recognize patterns, track movements and monitor inventory in real time.
Advantages of Computer Vision in Intralogistics
Fully automated scanning
Fast and efficient transactions
Basis for further automated workflows
Real-time transparency
Error prevention
Documentation of the transfer of risk to the transport service provider
Use Case: Automated Scanning at Incoming and Outgoing Goods
Cameras are installed at the gates in incoming and outgoing goods, which have direct view of the goods, e.g. pallets. 1D or 2D barcodes are applied to the goods and the cameras read the content of the code when movement is detected.
The AI checks and verifies which is the correct barcode and merges it with the associated information from the WMS database. The system creates the relevant processes and transactions in the background.
Computer Vision Automates Process Steps in the Background...
Goods Receipt
Retrieval of necessary information from the database:
- To which order / shipping notification do these goods belong?
- Do the goods have to be depalletized or can the entire pallet be stored directly?
- Where should the goods be transported to?
Automatic creation of transport steps:
- Generation of transport order with target storage location in the background
- When the pallet is picked up by the forklift, the system recognizes the "connection" between the forklift and the goods.
- The transport order is sent to the forklift terminal via push notification and appears there as a notification.
- After parking at the target storage location, the transaction is completed and the receipt of the goods is reported to the WMS.
Goods Issue
Retrieval of necessary information from the database:
- Are the goods at the right gate, on the right route?
- Is damage visible?
- Optional: is the load sufficiently secured?
Automatic creation of transport steps:
- Conditions met - the goods are automatically booked on the tour, loading status is changed
- Conditions not met - system reports deviation, thus errors will be avoided
...and thus Replaces Manual Steps during Loading / Unloading
Goods Receipt
- No manual scanning and comparison with order notifications
- No generation of the transport request
- No rescanning for confirmation
Goods Issue
- No scanning when picking the goods
- No manual scanning and checking of the loading location
- No rescanning to confirm
- Recognition of multiple barcodes & QR codes on an image or video stream
- Identification of relevant barcodes (customizing)
- Optical processing of the identified relevant barcodes (minimization of bandwidth + better readability)
- Capturing up to 30 barcodes per second
- Queuing of the barcodes for transfer to the interface system / feedback
- Recording of forklifts / relevant objects in warehouses is possible
- Scalability: multiple cameras increase capture capacity
