Usecase

Trailer Unloading

Extreme weather. Labor shortages. Trailer and container variations. These and other challenges have held back the automation of loose goods unloading from trailers and containers, but with mounting reasons to abandon the pallet, customers need innovative solutions.

With advanced vision AI, Fizyr OS doesn’t rely on patterns for picking; it reliably picks loose goods regardless of what may have been packed haphazardly or shifted in transport.

Items shifted in transport? We got this.

The challenge

Until recently, numerous business and technical challenges stymied reliable automation of trailer and container unloading, including:

Weather extremes
Labor availability and safety
Variation of trailers, container structures and work environments
Floor-to-ceiling stacking and varying quality of loading/stacking in general
Space limitations for cameras and robots

Lighting challenges including direct sunlight, low light and shadows etc.
Handling exceptions, including a wide variation of package types and materials

Unloading poorly stacked items, piles of items as opposed to well-organized loads

Intelligent placement of items, usually on a retractable conveyor

Fizyr’s Solution

Fizyr’s advanced vision AI brings a level of precision that surpasses human capabilities. Fizyr OS:

Our solution

High-Res 2D and 3D Image Capture

Capturing images from the best industrial cameras, optimized for the use case

Rapid Image Analysis

Processing visuals in milliseconds with optimized vision AI

Dynamic Environment Adaptation

Advanced vision is required for the more dynamic supply chain and manufacturing processes. Fizyr OS vision provides the intelligence required in a variety of environments

Precision Object Identification

Segmenting individual items, understanding their dimensions, position, orientation and classification, the vision system communicates information required for the 'next steps' in automation

Advanced Occlusion Analysis

Fizyr OS has the native ability to capture visual data on blocked and partially 'unseen' objects. This allows the system to interpret issues with picking and obstacles to pathing and successful placement

The Key to Successful Placements

Items in all industry verticals and use cases must keep moving, get 'placed' for the next step in the process. Without advanced vision, automation of operations leads to poor KPIs

Fizyr OS delivers unprecedented accuracy and efficiency, eliminates errors, and reduces time-consuming manual processes, while handling high order volumes, achieving faster turnaround times and boosting operations.
