Requirement Analysis

Challenges for Retailers
The fresh food supply chain is a fast moving and ever changing one which requires real-time quality checks.
Inaccuracy within the supply chain leads to food being damaged or wasted in stores. Lack of video evidence to check supply chain quality.
Low efficiency in checking video recordings for forensic review (normally the whole recording needs to be checked).
Manual logging of food information leads to low efficiency, longer lead time and low accuracy.

Solution Goal
The aim of the solution is to measure pick accuracy in real time, allowing forensic analysis of collected data and video imagery to improve accuracy and provide actionable operational insight.

Solution Introduction

In the fresh picking area, as each item is picked it generates a unique transaction ID through the use of the scanning terminals. The picker confirms each pick transaction, and this is mapped by both location and UTC time-stamp.
CCTV cameras are installed around the area, monitoring the real-time pallet status. They are mapped to specific pick zones and synchronised, with a Universal Time Code (UTC), to the management software.

Solution Architecture

In this way, the real-time video can be linked with the fresh warehouse management data, ensuring that HikCentral can constantly monitor pick activity and integrity through the count

Video Evidence Retrieval

The data and video can be made available for post-pick integrity checks and forensic analysis where any inventory differences occur. Real-time interventions can be made to improve accuracy. Post-pick analysis and review provides improvement and coaching opportunities for colleagues.

• Receive POS data from Warehouse
• Management system.
• Search video clips of each item by multiple kinds of data.
• Support variant filtering options.
• Bind items with certain cameras.
