We are living in the computer vision era, where computer vision solutions are evolving rapidly in people’s daily lives and are providing easiness in their lives. The researchers are spending their lives making this field more useful and helpful for not humans only but also for multiple domains, that include but not limited to agriculture, medicine, security, etc.
If we compare use cases of computer vision applications in warehouses with other areas, there are very less developed applications of computer vision applications in warehouses. So what is the reason behind and how we can use Computer vision to save multiple people’s lives in warehouses?
In this article, I will discuss the mentioned modules below.
- Why do Computer Vision Products need in Warehouses?
- Applications you can Offer to Warehouse Businesses
- Why Developer will need to understand the Overview of the Warehouse?
