Reverse Logistics

Global reverse logistics market will be worth more than 1.3 trillion USD by 2025, and it’s expected to quadruple by 2035(1).
In retail, nearly 17 %(2) of sales are returned, generating increasing costs and complexity for the industry actors.

Cosmic Solution

Balea, in partnership with Zebra, developed an intelligent vision solution in order to optimize performance and reduce reverse logistics costs.
The Cosmic Machine Vision solution successfully combine a Zebra industrial camera with an artificial intelligence algorithm (OCR model).
The system can transform any textual information, such as non-barcoded information (batch codes, expiration dates, etc.), into usable data accurately and quickly, even in difficult conditions (partially erased or slanted characters, etc.).
No need to set up, it continuously adapts itself with specific product characteristics in production thanks to the system’s learning capability.
