Abstract

A method of monitoring operation in a material handling environment is described. The method may include obtaining a data stream representing a 3D scan of the target region based on an output from the LiDAR-based sensor. Further, the method may include obtaining operation specification data. The operation specification data may include data related to a standard operation protocol (SOP) and a predefined heuristic. The predefined heuristic may be associated with an operation to be performed by at least one of a machine and an operator in the material handling environment. Further, the method may include generating a machine learning model. The data stream and the operation specification data may be provided as inputs to train the machine learning model. Further, the method may include determining a performance state associated with an efficiency of execution of the operation by using the machine learning model.

Description

technical field [0001] Exemplary embodiments described herein relate generally to systems, methods, and apparatus for monitoring a material handling environment through the use of light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and more particularly, to using LiDAR to monitor objects in a material handling environment. operations, machines and individuals. Background technique [0002] Generally, in a material handling site such as, but not limited to, a distribution center, warehouse, storage, or shipping center, various machines such as conveyors, pallet stackers, robotic arms, truck loaders / unloaders, and / or conveyors are used top unit to perform various operations. Typically, some mechanism is deployed for monitoring operations, machines, workers, etc. in a material handling environment. For example, supervisors may use the central monitoring system to monitor various activities performed by workers. In this regard, the central monitoring system can obtain data that can be recor...
