Glossar

Computer vision refers to the automated processing and interpretation of image and video data by computer systems. It enables machines to recognize and analyze visual information and to independently derive decisions or actions from it.

In logistics, computer vision is used to automatically detect objects, contours, labels, and conditions. Camera systems combined with artificial intelligence and deep learning enable, for example, the detection of packages, quality deviations, or hazardous materials labels. The technology supports automated measurement, contour inspection, and process monitoring, and helps reduce manual inspections while making processes more efficient and transparent.

Practical example:

A camera system analyzes a pallet during transport and automatically detects protrusions, damage, or missing labels.
