Multi-sensor wood-package tracking in lumber yards

PMP Solutions Inc是开发软件解决方案的专家，通过实时管理生产性能、调度和库存，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，追踪方法主要是以产品为导向;即在木材包装上安装各种标记（主动或被动），并使用手持阅读器在木材场和工厂建筑物之间检查包装。这些方法需要耗时、劳动密集、容易出错的手动操作，这也可能危及操作员的安全。在这方面，CGQ将通过该项目协助PMP解决方案，利用计算机视觉提高木材包装跟踪的自主性和准确性，惯性和定位传感器与先进的地理空间分析相结合。该项目是一个遵循-直到SEP项目，并将专注于提高人工智能分类模型的可靠性和鲁棒性，特别是惯性数据处理的可靠性和鲁棒性，从而可以检测取出或存款一包木材的时刻。

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 computer vision, inertial and positioning sensors combined with advanced geospatial analytics.This project is a follow-up to a SEP project and will focus on improving the reliability and robustness of artificial intelligence classification models and especially that of the processing of inertial data allowing to detect the moment of the taking or the deposit of a packet of wood.
