Object detection and Image Analytics - Parts Identification Technology
Identifying thousands of plumbing parts at a Reece Plumbing Supplies Store can be time-consuming and requires years of experience, causing potential bottlenecks at the store.Reece Plumbing collaborated with Tekt Industries and AWS to develop an AI-based Parts Identification system.When a customer brings an unidentified part, the part is placed on the device. Multiple cameras capture a 3D image, and the system employs AWS Recognition to identify parts resembling the presented item.To ensure a high-quality image, the system utilizes multiple cameras, special lighting, and other sensors in a controlled environment to provide optimised parameters to the AWS Recognition Service; This ensures an accurate list of possible part identifications is presented to the user.
