Sack Detection

Count sacks moving between people, containers and conveyors, live.

Edge AIComputer visionReal-time

Problem
Transfers were counted from recorded videos in a phone app. Every step needed a person, and results arrived after the fact.
Approach
Edge detectors at container corners and conveyors count sacks crossing a line, a central server aggregates many devices, and a dashboard shows counts in real time. Built for day, night and dust.
