CPC G06V 20/64 (2022.01) [G06Q 10/06313 (2013.01); G06T 7/62 (2017.01); G06V 10/751 (2022.01)] | 20 Claims |
1. A system for determining information concerning products being carried by tote containers, the system comprising:
a first tote container, the first tote container being filled with one or more products;
at least one sensor, the at least one sensor obtaining three-dimensional image information regarding the first tote container and the one or more products, the three-dimensional image information including first dimensions of the first tote container and second dimensions of the one or more products;
a database at a central location, the database storing predetermined dimensions of the first tote container, predetermined dimensions of each of the one or more products, and a target container product fill amount;
a control circuit, the control circuit coupled to the database and to the sensor, the control circuit configured to:
compare the first dimensions of the first tote container to the predetermined dimensions of the first tote container to determine whether a first discrepancy exists;
compare the second dimensions of the one or more products to the predetermined dimensions of the one or more products to determine whether a second discrepancy exists;
analyze the three-dimensional image information to determine a product fill amount for the first tote container, and compare the product fill amount of the first tote container to the target container product fill amount to determine whether a third discrepancy exists;
wherein a cumulative amount of the first discrepancy, the second discrepancy, and the third discrepancy defines a total number of discrepancies;
when one or more of the first discrepancy, the second discrepancy, or the third discrepancy exists for the first tote container, take an action with respect to a second tote container that is to be filled subsequent to filling the first tote container, the action selected based upon a type of discrepancy and the total number of discrepancies detected for the first tote container and being one of: selecting a second tote container that is to be filled subsequent to filling the first tote container, the second tote container having different dimensions than the first tote container;
increasing a number of products inserted into a second tote container as compared to a number of products inserted into the first tote container;
decreasing a number of products inserted into a second tote container as compared to a number of products inserted into the first tote container;
or adjusting the target container product fill amount for the second container.
