Abstract

In the evolving landscape of warehouse management in Industry 4.0, this paper explores the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Vision (CV) for inventory tracking and stock registration. Conducted in collaboration between SIIT and KNS, a logistics
service company specializing in warehousing, the study introduces a framework that optimizes image capture conditions through real-time analysis of gyroscope values, distinguishing mobile phone movement from stationary states. Additionally, an object detection model using the YOLOv8 algorithm achieves 83% accuracy in label detection and 75% in box detection within a curated dataset. The research highlights the successful development of the phone motion detection model and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) integration. This framework promises to advance warehouse management systems by addressing current limitations with a comprehensive, efficient, and user-friendly solution.
