This technology is an integral part of the applications used throughout storage and logistics, as well as from robotic capture systems to drone monitoring of inventory for quality control and inspection systems. Especially in the warehouse, these tools have become an essential component of increasing vision within the four walls of the facility.

In essence, the computer’s vision is what allows machines to determine patterns in visual data and extract important visions – the use of sensors, cameras and programs to analyze and explain their surroundings.
“The computer’s vision is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that applies machine learning to images and videos to understand media and make decisions related to it. With a computer vision, we can, in some sense, give a vision of programs and technology,” according to an article about the content and technical content based on Chicago. “The ultimate goal of seeing the computer is to enable machines to see and visualize the world similar to humans. Once the machines are equipped with the computer’s vision and training them to refine their capabilities, they can use the computer vision to detect abnormal cases, self -driving cars,, [and] Equipment monitoring … among other cases of use. “
These capabilities feed the “interconnected” warehouses today, and help to improve vision, accuracy and efficiency of the workflow, according to the data “Study Vision 2025” by logistical service technology supplies. The study shows increasing interest among decision makers in warehouse in implementing these types of systems-especially data capture techniques in actual time such as fixed industrial scanning and machine vision systems. The majority of respondents in the poll says they are planning to implement such solutions over the next five years – 57 % and 65 %, respectively. The tools allow for accurate elements while reducing errors and creating a smooth flow of information through the warehouse. Examples include scanners that can track and track the elements while moving from receiving to storage to loyalty, and the camera vision systems based on the camera used in inspection and quality control.
The warehouses also integrate artificial intelligence -based vision systems into mobile devices to achieve similar goals. According to the zebra study, approximately 80 % of the respondents say they are planning to do this as a means of enhancing safety – that is, using devices to detect potential risks and issue alerts to prevent accidents. In addition, 78 % says they will use technology to monitor quality, and 77 % say they will use it to improve inventory management, 77 % say they will use it to improve the choice – to improve roads, reduce errors, and retrieve speed orders.
“Empowering the workforce using advanced tools is also a major axis” in the warehouse, according to the study. “Decision makers adopt artificial intelligence applications on mobile devices to improve safety, simplify inventory management, promote quality control, and improve selection accuracy.”

Cooperation between a third -party logistics service provider (3PL) CJ Logistics and Warehouse Openinging System OneTrack.AI explains how computer vision systems help companies gain a greater vision in their warehouses. Companies have been partnership since 2019, when they implemented the ONETRACK warehouse operating system (OS)-which combines AI’s launch cameras on the spinal leverage and sensors with actual time video alerts and customized analyzes-in a single logistical facility from CJ to improve safety. Today, the system operates in more than 40 3PL sites in North America and is used to enhance productivity as well.
Basically, the cameras installed on the spinal lever provides clear in the actions of the operators, recording each step of the process while moving the platforms loaded around the facility and sending live video alerts to managers and unsafe behavior. This allows managers to address safety problems with workers immediately. The system analysis platform provides additional visions that can help managers to develop safety and avoiding risks.
The regime has resulted in major safety improvements: 3PL has witnessed a decrease of 73 % in the total safety events across the American network since its implementation, as some sites have achieved a reduction of up to 98 %. Onetrack spokesman explains that the term “safety event” indicates both actual and potential safety accidents. Actual events include things like a spinal lever that strikes a shelf column; Possible events include risky behaviors such as using a mobile phone while running a fork lever or failure to look before backup.
Now the teams deal with labor and productivity. They use OneTrack to track work performance automatically in different sites, measure performance against work goals, and make alerts in actual time when these sites fail to standards. Alerts also determine the three most needy employees to help every day, including video clips that determine the tasks that slow performance – opening the door for training opportunities and improving operations.
“This detailed insight enables the supervisors to provide specially designed training, improve the efficiency of the workforce and enhance more vulnerable operational culture,” according to a statement issued by companies describing the project.
To date, CJ Logistics has seen an 11 % increase in units per hour (UPH) treatment and a 60 % decrease in product damage.
“For us, it is all about keeping the employees on the mission [and] Laura Adams, Vice President of Technology, Engineering, Systems and Solutions, said in the statement that the motivation behind roadblocks for them.[The system provides] The following alerts and the following steps are directed, which allow our driving teams to focus their resources and make the most intelligent decisions on how to improve operations for our employees and our customers. “
Partners are planning to apply the following system to quality and predictive analyzes – the expansion of these smart decisions throughout the work.
