In this episode of Visions, VSD Editor in Chief Sharon Spielman interviews Jeff Gentry, staff engineer for Shaw Industries and Uli Palli, chief technology officer for Accella AI, about an AI vision system that replaced manual pallet checks to speed up loading dock verification, improve accuracy, and integrate with existing PLC, WMS, and ERP systems. They cover challenges in camera selection, image processing, model training, and operator adoption.

Listeners will learn practical lessons on hardware-software trade-offs, remote deployment, and how generative AI is accelerating image annotation for faster, lower-cost rollouts.
