This case summarizes an object-counting pilot at a manufacturer’s shipping ramp. Site name anonymous.
Pallets loaded by forklift were counted manually; ERP entry hours later. Variances surfaced only at day-end reconciliation.
Problem
Average 12 shipment variance records per week. Root cause (missing pallet, double count, wrong SKU) found by manual footage search.
Logistics lead spent 25–40 minutes per variance scanning recordings.
Solution
Three ramp cameras connected to object-count module. Each load compared expected pallets (ERP or operator input) vs AI count.
When variance exceeded 5% threshold, logistics lead got panel alert with timestamp and count summary archived.
30-day result
Weekly variance records fell from 12 to 5 (60% reduction). Footage search time averaged 3 minutes.
Lessons
Counting module often delivers fastest ROI in logistics; setup in 3 business days.
ERP integration completed in phase two — operator tablet input sufficed for pilot.
