{"id":101496,"title":"transload – we measure freight with security cameras","tagline":"Measurement, localization and tracking of freight in warehouses using only pre-installed CCTV","body":"**TL;DR:** \n\n* Trucking companies lose billions because they don't know the actual size of the items on their trucks \n* We measure every shipment using the existing warehouse security cameras – no new hardware or process changes\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/4ZGgDSRsALo\u003e\n\n**Problem:** Over 2 million irregular items move across the US in trucks every day. Trucking companies charge based on how big each item is but rely on the sender to tell them. Senders often guess wrong or lowball, costing trucking companies revenue and truck space.\n\n**Solution:** We use the CCTV cameras already installed in the warehouse against theft and claims to measure items with computer vision. In the future we track shipment status, location and evidence for claims across the supply chain.\n\n**Ask:** Do you know any trucking company or warehouse owners? We would love to help them.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=101496\u0026key=user_uploads/3295758/23e99fb2-1112-4df1-a5d5-087daf23b720)\n\n**Team:** Nils (Computer Vision), Julius (ex-McKinsey), Jago (AI on industrial sensor data).
