PMP Solutions Inc is an expert in developing software solutions to transform the way that sawmills coordinate their machines, staff, and operations via real-time management of production performance, scheduling, and inventory. One of the essential aspects of inventory management is tracking wood products while they are undergoing various processes. Currently, tracking methods are mainly product oriented; that is, markers of various sort (active or passive) are installed on wood packages, and handheld readers are used to check the packages as they move in the lumber yard and in between the factory buildings. These methods require time-consuming, labor-intensive, error-prone, manual operations, which can also risk the operators' safety. With this regard, CGQ will assist PMP Solutions via this project to increase the autonomy and accuracy of wood-package tracking using multiple visual, inertial and positioning sensors combined with advanced geospatial analytics.

PMP解决方案公司是开发软件解决方案的专家，通过对生产绩效、调度和库存的实时管理，改变锯木厂协调机器、员工和运营的方式。库存管理的一个重要方面是在木材产品经历各种过程时对其进行跟踪。目前，跟踪方法主要是面向产品的；即在木质包装上安装各种标记(主动或被动)，并使用手持读取器检查包裹在木材堆场和工厂建筑之间移动时的情况。这些方法需要耗时、劳动强度大、容易出错的人工操作，这也可能危及操作员的安全。在这方面，CGQ将通过这个项目帮助PMP Solutions使用多个视觉、惯性和定位传感器结合先进的地理空间分析来提高木包跟踪的自主性和准确性。
