Hello,
I have a small industry here in Brazil and we process fruits and vegetables. I am a web developer somewhat out of shape - I was pretty good with PHP / javascript / CSS / HTML / MySQL / C++ and now a days I am catching up learning python. It is an impressive script language. I still need to study the AI libraries. My plan is to use computer vision to help us to improve our fruit/vegetables preparation line. I know, it is a big task.
I bought 2 OAD-D SR to the first project. There is a fruit/vegetable preparation part of the line where several employees hand pick each to check for bad parts and clean it. There are 3 moving belts. The top one takes the cleaned parts to be processed. The middle one bring the fruits/vegetable to the employees where they pick each by hand, service it and put the good part or whole in the top belt. The bad parts are deposited in a hole in front of them which connects to a slide to the bottom belt that take them outside the production area to be discarded.
As there are several employees working in the line, some of them produce more and some are not that good. The idea is to increase production by paying a prize to the ones that produce more, as well as organizing the line so there is a continuous flow of goods in the machinery, so the production flow is always good.
So the plan is to count every time a person place something in the top belt. The positions of the people in the line will be known to the system by manual input, i.e., someone will map each one.
As this is a big ask, the first part is counting, checking the quality and others in the top belt. This preparing line is long, 20 meters and 40 people work in the line, at both sides.
I start checking the luxonis documentation, but, where should I start studying? I am quite confused in where to even start reading. Any good advice is VERY WELCOME.
Thank you,
Rom Pereira
