Pallet Counting AI

Count pallets on the floor, cases per dock door, and packages per hour, and get an alarm the moment a count crosses the line you set.

Pallet Counting AI Across Floor and Staging Counts, Dock Door Throughput, and Threshold Alarms

  • Deploy Anywhere, Run Everywhere

    Run pallet counting on the edge, on-prem, in your VPC, or via API, wherever your dock and floor need it.

  • One Platform, Full Adoption

    Tools every warehouse and shipping team can adopt, no separate ML team required to ship and own counting models.

  • Secure, Compliant, and Audit-Ready

    Data stays safe with SOC 2 Type II compliance, encrypted data, HIPAA compliance, and an uptime SLA.

  • Pallets on the Floor & in Staging Lanes
  • Pallets and Cases per Dock Door
  • Packages per Hour at Unload and Load Doors
  • Cases per Pallet & Partial Pallet Detection
  • Dwell Time & Throughput Trends
  • Threshold Alarms & Copy-to-Every-Door Setup
“Achieving positive results using AI in a lab environment is easy, but the real challenge comes when scaling the solution across a network like ours without disrupting day-to-day operations. Our partnership with Roboflow is allowing us to do just that.”

Bring Real-Time Intelligence to Every Pallet and Package, from the Trailer Door to the Staging Lane, with Vision AI

Bring real-time intelligence to every pallet and package on the floor with Roboflow vision AI for pallet counting.

Pallets on the floor, in staging, and per door:

  • Count pallets sitting on the floor, in staging lanes, and at each dock door from existing overhead and dock cameras, and show the live count per zone on one screen.
  • Detect partial pallets, cases per pallet, and empty pallet stacks so the count reflects what is actually there, not what the last scan said.
  • Track dwell time per pallet and per lane, so a pallet that has sat in staging past its window shows up before the trailer leaves without it.

Package counting and dock throughput:

  • Count packages per hour at each trailer unload and load door, and compare doors side by side so a slow door is visible in the first hour, not in the end-of-shift report.
  • Count packages coming off a line or into a lane and alarm when the count crosses a threshold you set, so a bad run is stopped after 20 units instead of 2,000.
  • Set up one door, then copy the same counting configuration to every door in the building, and roll it to the next facility with the same model.

Alarms, records, and deployment:

  • Trigger alarms on the thresholds that matter to your operation: a staging lane over capacity, a door under its packages-per-hour target, a pallet past its dwell limit, or a count that stops moving mid-shift.
  • Keep a timestamped count history per zone and per door for OSHA housekeeping and egress documentation, ISO 9001 records, and carrier and customer SLA disputes.
  • Run on the Verkada, Rhombus, Axis, or Hanwha cameras already installed, on an edge device in the dock office, on-prem, or in your VPC, with no new camera install required to start.

Stop overfull lanes, slow doors, and runaway bad-product counts from becoming safety findings, missed SLAs, and rework.

Frequently asked questions

What is pallet counting with Vision AI?

Pallet counting with Vision AI uses the cameras already installed over a warehouse floor, staging lanes, and dock doors, plus a computer vision model trained to recognize pallets, cases, and packages, to produce a live count of what is physically present in each zone. The same approach counts packages per hour at trailer unload and load doors, cases per pallet, and dwell time per lane, and fires an alarm when a count crosses a threshold you set. Counts and images are logged with timestamps, which gives operations a physical count to reconcile against WMS transactions and gives quality and safety teams records for ISO 9001 and OSHA dock documentation.

Does pallet counting support OSHA dock safety and ISO 9001 records?

Yes. Pallet and package counts, zone occupancy, and dwell times are logged with timestamps and images, which supports OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards for walking-working surfaces, housekeeping, and means of egress, including keeping aisles and dock areas clear) and ISO 9001 (quality management systems, including monitoring, measurement, and records of process performance).

Can it integrate with our WMS, yard management system, and dock scheduling tools?

Yes. Counts, alarms, and per-door throughput publish over REST, MQTT, or direct database writes into Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Körber, and SAP EWM on the WMS side, into yard management and dock scheduling tools such as FourKites, C3 Solutions, and Descartes, and into BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Grafana for shift dashboards. Camera feeds come in over RTSP or from Verkada and Rhombus integrations, so you can run on the security system you already pay for. For door-level automation, a count threshold can trigger a light, a horn, or a message to the dock supervisor, and a count that stops moving can open a ticket automatically.
