Amazon Are you looking for a way to remove barcodes products it distributes, and for this it relies on a system artificial intelligence.

This mechanism will attempt to speed up the processing of shipments at distribution centers by promising products to be delivered to users in less time.

Why doesn’t Amazon want more barcodes?

In accordance with Amazon, in barcodes they need an employee to scan them. “Every time you have to take an object, find and scan it. Barcode. Sometimes it is damaged or even missing,” the company says.

Considering this, Amazon manages Multi-Modal Identification (MMID). Here, the company photographs products moving along conveyor belts. artificial intelligence analyzes your data and saves your dimensions, specifications, packaging texts and more.

After that, unique identifiers are created for each product, which are subsequently converted into vectors and thus form an automatic learning model.

This solution is already in use in the logistics centers in Barcelona and Hamburg.

“Solve the problem so that robots can pick up items and process them without having to search and scan Barcode, is key. This will help us deliver packages to customers more accurately,” says Nontas Antonakos, who led the MMID team.

“The use of force deep learning, the team was pleasantly surprised to see a 75 to 80% match rate in the initial experiments,” he notes. With further updates, the MMID reached a match level close to 99%.

still in progress

According to Amazonthe technology is still improving and it will take time for it to appear.

At the moment he is going through several difficulties. You need good lighting and the speed of light on the conveyor belt so that the cameras can take the right shots to AI do you work.

Another inconvenience that can occur is employee intervention, making it difficult to detect an object depending on how it is being held.

For this, Amazon he is also working on robotic arms to stop relying on humans for this particular task.
