📋 Overview

TrackIQ operates 12 large-scale warehouses across India. Manual barcode scanning, paper pick-lists, and spreadsheet inventory were causing 8% error rates and 4-hour processing cycles. We deployed a computer vision-powered WMS that cut processing time by 60% and errors by 90% — with no forklift driver retraining required.

⚠️ The Challenge

12 warehouses processing 50,000 SKUs each. 8% error rate on picks meant 4,000 wrong shipments per day. Average order processing time was 4.2 hours. Manual cycle counts took 3 days and shut down shipping. RFID retrofitting quotes came in at $4M — way over budget. Staff turnover meant constant retraining.

💡 Our Solution

We deployed overhead fixed cameras and forklift-mounted cameras paired with a custom YOLO-v8 object detection model trained on 200K+ warehouse images. Items are identified and counted automatically. Pickers receive audio instructions via earpiece connected to a React Native app, guided by the optimal pick path generated by our routing algorithm.

Key Features

👁️

Real-Time Vision Counting

Overhead cameras identify and count items as forklifts move them — no scanning required.

🗺️

Optimal Pick Routing

TSP-based routing algorithm generates the shortest pick path per order, displayed in the app.

🎧

Hands-Free Picking

Audio instructions via earpiece with voice confirmation — pickers never look at a screen.

📊

Live Inventory Dashboard

Real-time stock levels, location heatmaps, and low-stock alerts across all 12 sites.

Edge Inference

NVIDIA Jetson modules run inference on-site for <50ms latency with no cloud round-trip.

🔗

ERP Integration

Bi-directional SAP and Oracle NetSuite sync with sub-minute data freshness.

Project Timeline

01

Warehouse Audit & Data Collection

6 weeks

On-site visits, camera placement planning, 200K+ image dataset collection for model training.

02

CV Model Development

14 weeks

YOLOv8 training, TensorRT optimisation for Jetson, accuracy benchmarking across SKU types.

03

Backend & Integration

12 weeks

WMS core, Kafka event streams, SAP/Oracle integration, real-time inventory engine.

04

Mobile Picker App

8 weeks

React Native app, BLE device pairing, audio TTS instructions, offline resilience.

05

Hardware Deployment

10 weeks

Camera installation across 3 pilot warehouses, Jetson edge deployment, network hardening.

06

Full Rollout

14 weeks

9 remaining warehouses, staff training (minimal — system is intuitive), full SLA handoff.

The ROI calculation was simple — we were losing $2M a year in errors and reprocessing. The system paid for itself in 11 months. What impressed me most was how little we had to change for the warehouse workers — they just put on the earpiece and started.
