Introducing iD Point Image Recognition Technology For The WingScan Loadscanner

Published By Product Manager, WingScan

We’re proud to announce the development of a new WingScan feature called iD Point.

iD point uses image recognition, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to identify bulk materials in truck beds and open hopper rail cars and attach a Material Code to each measurement.

It learns from sample photos. Users upload images for any material, then run a “learning” step so the system can recognize that material in real time.

A conceptual view of how distinct materials can become recognizable classes—ready to be tagged at measurement time:

Once learned, IRA can tag measurements with a Material Code.

The Significance of iD Point Image Recognition Applications in Volume Scanning

iD Point makes WingScan a fully autonomous multi-dimensional measurement system. What’s very exciting is that this is truly a first for the volumetric industry, as no one else can offer this technology except WingScan.

This means that volume measurements can convey material context in real-time without requiring additional steps.

What Does This Change Mean For Customers?

It means, in addition to WingScan’s trusted volume measurements and volumetric data, customers also now get these additional operational optimizations:

  • No kiosk/operator/ticket step for material ID
  • Each scan can include a material code sent from the image recognition app/operator/ticket step, for instant material ID
  • Smoother and easier data entry without manual steps, so you can save time and avoid hassle.
  • No human error
