    Case study:
    80% cost reduction in stocktaking operations

    Background

    This regional logistics provider provides warehousing, distribution, and sea transport services, and more.

    Challenge

    Stock taking is a manual, labour intensive, costly operation, and can require a lengthy stock-taking procedure. This customer also holds stock for customers, with regular audits. A significant number of precious resources are dedicated to manual stock taking across all regional warehouses. These repetitive, routine laborious manual tasks can be a drain on human resources. These additional costs can be improved.

    Solution

    By mounting video cameras on forklifts, this customer has replaced manual barcode scanning with an AI based solution which outputs data on shelf and slot contents, by scanning barcodes on shelves and pallets.

    The Sentispec Access allows for 50-80% cost reduction in the stock taking operations, whilst reducing labour spent searching for misplaced pallets.

    How does the computer vision camera work?

    The stocktaking challenge

    To deliver accurate automated stocktaking at speed the Sentispec Inventory camera works using Sentispec Access AI drawing data through computer vision software. While traditional warehouse stock taking is managed by hand using a bar code reader, innovative options exist to improve operations. There is a constant trade off between the need to have accurate stock audits done on a regular basis, which are costly, with the speed and efficiency of automation.

    Sentispec unique AI computer vision

    The way the Sentispec Inventory camera works is by collecting data as it scans the warehouse aisles and shelves. Traditional bar code scanning in manual stock taking can deliver 100 units per hour on average. Accuracy and speed are both objectives of stocktaking. Imagine being able to scan 3000 units per hour accurately through automation? The Sentispec Inventory camera can do this and will identify inaccuracies, location anomalies, safety hazards and damaged labels too.

    The Sentispec Inventory camera

    The Sentispec Inventory solution works with a tailored AI computer vision camera. It is a forklift mounted apparatus that can collect data as the forklift drives down the aisles working 30 times faster than a manual stock audit. The result is fewer misplaced pallets, higher stock transparency and happier customers.

    Automated Stock Taking and Stock Audits

    With our cameras mounted on trucks and other mobile devices we can drive automated stock taking at a faster pace and with greater consistency and accuracy. This can reduce manual labour costs by as much as 95% by increasing pallet scanning rates from 100 to 3000 per hour.
