WORKFLOW

Our Annotation Pipeline for This Industry

A structured, domain-specific workflow — from data ingestion to delivery — designed for your industry's unique requirements.
1

Logistics Taxonomy & Label Schema

Package types, carrier formats, document layouts, and warehouse zone definitions cataloged. Barcode and label degradation categories defined (torn, faded, partial, angled, occluded).

2

High-Speed Imagery Processing

Conveyor belt camera feeds processed at frame rates matching sorting speeds (3-5m/s). Motion blur detection and image quality filtering applied before annotation.

3

Package Detection & Measurement

Bounding boxes and instance segmentation for packages on conveyors, shelves, and pallets. Dimension estimation annotations (length, width, height) for volumetric weight calculation training.

4

Label & Document Annotation

Barcode regions, shipping label fields (sender, recipient, tracking number, weight), and waybill entities extracted. Multi-format support across carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, and regional).

5

Warehouse Spatial Mapping

Warehouse imagery annotated for slot occupancy, aisle identification, rack position, and inventory type. Navigation waypoints and obstacle regions labeled for AGV/AMR path planning.

6

Operations-Ready Delivery

Labeled data delivered with WMS-compatible formats, carrier-specific field mappings, and real-time processing benchmarks. Integration tested against client's sorting and inventory systems.

Data Types We Handle

  • Conveyor belt & sorting system imagery
  • Warehouse interior photos & video
  • Shipping labels & waybills
  • GPS trajectory & route data
  • Pallet & container inspection photos
  • Last-mile delivery proof-of-delivery images

Use Cases

  • Package detection & dimension estimation
  • Barcode & label reading annotation
  • Warehouse slot occupancy mapping
  • Vehicle load optimization data
  • Damage detection during transit
  • Document extraction from shipping paperwork
EXPERTISE

Why Domain Expertise Matters

Generic annotation vendors can label data. Domain experts label it correctly. Here's why the difference matters in your industry.

High-Speed Processing Demands Precision

Packages moving at 3-5m/s on a conveyor belt create motion blur, partial visibility, and overlapping scenarios. Our annotators are trained on high-speed logistics imagery — achieving 98%+ detection accuracy in conditions where standard annotation quality drops below 85%.

Label Variation Is Global

A FedEx label looks different from a DHL waybill, a Chinese customs declaration, or a Brazilian postal form. Our annotators handle 20+ carrier formats with field-level extraction schemas — supporting global supply chain operations across regions and carriers.

Warehouse Robotics Need Spatial Context

AGV and AMR navigation requires more than obstacle detection — it needs aisle identification, rack position mapping, and traversability assessment. Our spatial annotation pipeline produces navigation-ready data that powers warehouse automation systems.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions — Logistics

Yes. Our pipeline processes conveyor camera feeds at sorting speeds (3-5m/s). We apply motion blur detection and quality filtering before annotation, and our annotators are trained on the specific visual challenges of high-speed logistics environments.
20+ carrier formats including FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, Royal Mail, Japan Post, and regional carriers. Each format has a custom extraction schema with field-level validation for sender, recipient, tracking number, weight, and dimensions.
Yes. We label warehouse environments for AGV/AMR navigation: slot occupancy, aisle identification, rack positions, obstacle regions, and traversability zones. Our spatial annotations integrate with WMS and fleet management systems.
Yes. We annotate package dimensions (length, width, height) from multi-angle imagery for volumetric weight calculation model training. Annotations inclde reference scale calibration for dimensional accuracy validation.
