Abstract
A system for performing smart auditing of a picking sub-process of an order fulfilment process in a warehousing environment includes a set of cameras arranged to capture videos of the picking sub-process in real-time, and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based processor communicatively coupled to the set of cameras. The AI based processor includes an input component for receiving and processing the captured videos to generate a processed video, and a processing component including an order process data analysis component for analysing the processed video to detect order process specific deviations, and a historical data analysis component for analysing the processed video based on historical behavioural data of corresponding order picker. The AI based processor further includes a triggering component for triggering a quality process correcting event for one or more pallets based on the analysis performed by the processing component.
