Abstract

This paper introduces an innovative Automated System for Material Return from Customers (ASMRC), designed to streamline and enhance the process of returning goods. The ASMRC employs cutting-edge technology, including computer vision, machine learning, and robotics, to automate the identification, inspection, and restocking of returned items. Customers can initiate returns through a user-friendly interface, and the ASMRC efficiently manages the entire return process. The system employs advanced image recognition algorithms to identify returned items, ensuring accuracy and reducing manual handling. Inspection modules assess the condition of returned goods, categorizing them for appropriate disposition, whether restocking, refurbishing, or recycling. Robotics are integrated for seamless handling and transportation within the facility, minimizing human intervention and optimizing efficiency.
