"Computer vision has seen rapid developments, and all indications show that it is becoming an industry-shaping technology with promise along the entire supply chain - for our customers, employees, partners, and certainly the environment," says Katja Busch, Chief Commercial Officer DHL and Head of DHL Customer Solutions and Innovation (CSI). "It's an exciting time for industries and logisticians to harness the potential of computer vision, helping to achieve more efficient processes as well as safer and sustainable operations." 

Computer vision is a field within artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers and systems to extract meaningful information from digital images, videos, and other visual inputs. These systems can act accordingly or make recommendations by collecting and gathering visual data using algorithms.

Klaus Dohrmann, Vice President, Head of Innovation and Trend Research, DHL CSI, adds: "In the logistics industry, we are seeing the first use cases that demonstrate the value of computer, including various health and safety applications as well as shipments dimensioning. As computer vision evolves thanks to technology advances in depth perception, 3D reconstruction, and interpretation of dark and blurred images, it will soon unlock many more opportunities and bring additional benefits to logistics companies."
