CPG firm wanted to automate the inventory counting process to improve efficiency and reduce plant downtime
Businesses running huge supply chain operations need to do an accounting of inventory rigorously. Manual counting of inventory is an unreliable and slow process, delaying operations and increasing operational expenses. The movement of SKUs and color-coded palettes, both inbound and outbound through the exit docks, is often prone to errors. These errors arise due to manual dependency on scanning the labels. The client needed an automated inventory accounting process to address these challenges.
Challenges
- Generating data from video feeds
- Dynamic product placement across the warehouse
- Multi-angle video coverage of warehouse space
