Description of the assignment

To optimize the logistics process of our retail distribution center customers, the Vanderlande system collects a lot of data about the products that our customers send to the stores. The equipment that handles these products is heavily depending on the quality of this data for correct processing. The collection of this data is largely a manual process executed by a trained operator. However, we see that with different operators this can result in different datasets for similar products.

As a result the equipment does not handle similar products the same way, which can lead to interruptions during the logistic processes. The product data consists of measured and calculated properties of the product in an Oracle database augmented with image captures. The assignment is to investigate the options for assisting the operator (possibly with an AI application) by suggesting one or more already known ‘look-a-like’ products that are similar to the new product that the operator is entering.
