ABSTRACT

This disclosure provides methods, components, devices, and systems for
optimizing bulk palletization of items utilizing machine learning techniques
to perform automated inspection throughout the process. Some aspects, more
specifically, relate to a method that supports bulk palletization of items
using machine learning techniques using sensor data to perform automated
inspection of a pallet assembly. Machine learning systems analyze the
alignment of the items ensuring proper orientation and positioning for
layering. Sensors and cameras continuously capture the items layered onto the
pallet where a machine learning system can analyze the data to determine
misalignments on the layer. Cameras and sensors capture the side walls of the
completed pallet and machine learning systems can analyze the data to detect
defects along the side walls. An analysis can be performed to determine the
severity of a defect and if the severity exceeds a threshold, then corrective
actions resolve the defect.
