Vision · Camera context
Existing warehouse cameras covering the configured item or consignment area.
The task
“Track the location of items, boxes, and consignments in the inventory management system. Whenever an item changes location, create a new inventory entry with its reference, observed area, timestamp, and camera evidence. Do the same for new deliveries.”
From the camera to the next action.
Language · Task and condition
Compare the item's observed location with its last inventory record, and check new deliveries against their receiving references.
Evidence
Item or consignment reference, observed location, timestamp, and linked clip.
Action · Software update
Whenever the item changes location, create a new inventory entry. Do the same for new deliveries.

Logistics & warehousing workflow · Setup
When an item changes location or arrives in a new delivery.
Connect identity, camera areas, and inventory
Associate each item, box, or consignment reference with the configured warehouse camera areas and inventory management system. Keep its last recorded location available for comparison, and link receiving records to new deliveries.
Record changes and new deliveries
After confirming a location change, create a new inventory entry with the item reference, previous and observed locations, timestamp, and camera evidence. Do the same for a confirmed new delivery, identifying it as a delivery entry. The interactive sample demonstrates the location-change branch.
Avoid duplicate and uncertain entries
Repeated observations of the same item in the same location do not create new entries. Confirm a new delivery against its receiving reference rather than treating every newly visible item as a delivery. Route uncertain identity, an obscured location, or unconfirmed delivery status to review.
When a blocked walkway needs follow-up.
Watch the route, not the storage bay
Select the marked pedestrian walkway and exclude adjacent storage areas. A person crossing the aisle briefly is different from a pallet remaining in the route.
Wait for a sustained obstruction
The pallet stays in the walkway throughout the eight-second example. The default duration is three seconds; thresholds up to eight seconds match. A threshold above eight follows the no-action branch.
Give the floor team a location
Keep the walkway reference, observed duration, and clip with the event. Create a safety task in Floor operations or add an entry to the Safety journal. The receipt confirms that software step, with the evidence available for supervisor review.
Explore the blocked-walkway sample
In the interactive example on this page, choose “Logistics & warehousing: Flag blocked warehouse walkways.” under “Explore a scenario” to compare both camera views, duration settings, and software destinations.
Another warehouse workflow
Flag misplaced or misrouted packages.
Connect package identity and assigned destination with the camera observation, then route misplaced or misrouted packages to the team that can correct them.
“When a package is placed in the wrong storage location or outbound lane, notify the operations team and create a correction task with its expected destination, observed location, and camera evidence.”
Misplaced
The wrong storage location.
Compare the observed shelf or staging area with the package’s assigned location.
Misrouted
The wrong outbound lane.
Check that the identified package enters the lane assigned to its destination.
If a package is in the wrong location → request a correction.
Connect identity to the assignment
Start with a package identifier from a barcode scan or readable label. Match it to the assigned shelf, staging area, or outbound destination in the warehouse or shipping record, and define the corresponding camera regions. Keep the observed location and expected destination attached to the same package reference.
Compare the lane or shelf
The outbound example assigns PKG-DEMO to Lane A while the camera shows it on Lane B. The storage example leaves the package on Shelf B while its assignment remains Shelf A. Each mismatch creates a correction task identifying both locations for the operations team.
Leave correct placements alone
A package entering its assigned lane or shelf needs no correction. Wait until placement is clear: briefly passing through a lane on the way to another location is not completed placement. Recheck the current assignment when a package is deliberately rerouted.
Keep uncertain identity in review
If a label is unreadable, a package leaves camera view, or its assignment is unavailable, preserve the observation for review. Do not classify it as misrouted solely from its position.
Send a correction task with context
Include the package reference, expected destination, observed location, observation time, linked clip, and assignment reference. Notify the responsible team through the configured operations system and retain the returned task reference. The team closes the task after confirming the physical correction; creating it does not move the package.
