Companies manufacture, process, and sell steel pipes. Inventory management of pipes in an outside yard has long been a pain point for companies because of the labor-intensive, visual dependency required to check the number of pipes.
We are looking for solutions that can pass our audit procedures. These solutions must be effective and accurate. They must also help in automating this labor-intensive, manual process of counting pipes.
A typical case of specifications of pipes and the environment of pipe yard are:
Companies manufacture, process, and sell steel pipes. Inventory management of pipes in an outside yard has long been a pain-point for companies because of the labor-intensive, visual dependency required to check the number of pipes. There is a lot of room for innovation here so we are looking forward to your unusual, out-of-the-box ideas to solve the given problem. Put on your thinking cap to build solutions and features that you believe in.

2. In the case of large diameter pipes:
Given these conditions, it can be difficult to take a picture from the front. Therefore, it is necessary to go close to it in hot/cold weather and visually check it for a long duration to get accurate information.
Some examples to get you started to include, but are not limited to, using drones, RFID tags, or AI flash counting apps! These are just examples. There is a lot of room for innovation here so we are looking forward to your unusual, out-of-the-box ideas to solve the given problem. Put on your thinking cap to build solutions and features that you believe in.
