Computer Vision for Industrial Process Management

Industrial Process Management is key in today's factories. It is the action of essentially monitoring and controlling all systems and machinery. One of the most recent and popular benefits of industrial process management is increasing the opportunities for automation as the field of robotics is experiencing significant research and development. By carefully observing factory operations with the intent to translate the action from a manual task to an autonomous, we gain insights into the operations and thus nature of movements that would have to be replicated by a robot. Additionally, by being more attentive to employee movement patterns, we can evaluate the plant design and overall workflow, thus creating a window for optimization. Further optimization can be made through process management as inefficiencies can be observed in terms of resource and energy allocations for the different machinery or even employee distribution.
