Abstract:
A system, method and computer program product provide inventory tracking and management. The operations may include analyzing images captured by a mobile camera secured to a forklift operating within a warehouse to identify that the forklift has performed a first loading event, analyzing images captured by a stationary camera that is located in a receiving area of the warehouse to identify the forklift and identify an inventory item that is loaded on the forklift moving from the receiving area to a storage area of the warehouse, and analyzing images captured by the mobile camera secured to the forklift to identify that the forklift has performed a first unloading event and identify a storage location within the storage area associated with the first unloading event. The operations may further include storing an entry in an inventory database to indicate the identified inventory item is stored in the identified storage location.
