Abstract
Techniques for predicting and preventing jams in material handling equipment are described. In an example, a device includes a camera that can generate a video including image frames showing a material handling equipment. The device also includes a computer system that can generate an input including the image frames to a machine learning model. The computer system can determine an output of the machine learning model based on the input that includes a prediction that a jam in the material handling equipment is to occur within a next time interval and a classification of the jam. The jam can involve an object being handled by the material handling equipment. The computer system can determine a jam prevention action to perform based on the classification. The computer system can cause the jam prevention action to be performed within the next time interval in association with the object to prevent the jam.
