PMP Solutions Inc is an expert in developing software solutions to transform the way that sawmills coordinate their machines, staff, and operations via real-time management of production performance, scheduling, and inventory. One of the essential aspects of inventory management is tracking wood products while they are undergoing various processes. Currently, tracking methods are mainly product oriented; that is, markers of various sort (active or passive) are installed on wood packages, and handheld readers are used to check the packages as they move in the lumber yard and in between the factory buildings. These methods require time-consuming, labor-intensive, error-prone, manual operations, which can also risk the operators' safety. With this regard, CGQ will assist PMP Solutions via this project to increase the autonomy and accuracy of wood-package tracking using computer vision, inertial and positioning sensors combined with advanced geospatial analytics.This project is a follow-up to a SEP project and will focus on improving the reliability and robustness of artificial intelligence classification models and especially that of the processing of inertial data allowing to detect the moment of the taking or the deposit of a packet of wood.

PMP Solutions Inc是开发软件解决方案的专家，可以通过实时管理生产绩效，调度和库存来改变锯木厂协调其机器，员工和操作的方式。库存管理的基本方面之一是在木材产品进行各种流程时跟踪木材产品。当前，跟踪方法主要以产品为导向。也就是说，在木包装上安装了各种（主动或被动）的标记，并且手持式读取器用于检查包裹在木材院子中移动时以及在工厂建筑物之间。这些方法需要时间耗时，易于劳动，容易出错，手动操作，这也可能冒着操作员安全的风险。在这方面，CGQ将通过该项目协助PMP解决方案，以使用计算机视觉，惯性和定位传感器与先进的地理空间分析相结合的木材包装跟踪的自主性和准确性。此项目是SEP项目的后续行动，并将进行SEP项目的后续活动，并将专注于提高人工智能分类模型的可靠性和鲁棒性，尤其是处理惯性数据的可靠性和鲁棒性，从而可以检测木材包装的时刻或沉积。
