Parcel Identification and Trackability

ENGR498-F2024-S2025
Amazon is looking for an automated solution that identifies when an amazon associate places the incorrect parcel type on a conveyor. Incorrect parcel types can lead to downtime events at Amazon FCs, as incorrect parcels travel into paths that they are not designed for. A successful project will be able to:

Identify the parcel type by scanning a barcode
Identify the difference between a parcel and an Amazon tote
Communicate/integrate with existing Amazon PLC and conveyance to divert the tote to a new desired location
Track the parcel back to an associate that made the error
