Abstract
The present invention discloses a smart counting method and system in manufacturing, specifically in custom clothing or fabric manufacturing. The smart counting method and system uses a camera to feed real-time image data of a working platform where a worker takes a unfinished clothing or fabric, processes the clothing or fabric, and puts the finished clothing or fabric in a finished pile to a processing unit. The processing unit automatically starts a new work order and counts the number of finished products in this work order by using computer vision techniques.
