Residual-Item Detection
Identify parcels, envelopes, boxes and other objects remaining inside reusable logistics bags after unloading, reducing the risk of missed items continuing into bag return, storage or recirculation.
Logistics Inspection & Automation
Automated residual-item detection and handling for reusable logistics bags.

Inspection Priorities
Bag Status & RFID Verification
Verify bag identity and RFID status during the inspection process, identifying unreadable or damaged tags and linking inspection results to the corresponding bag record.
Abnormal Bag Condition Detection
Identify abnormal unloading conditions where items remain attached to or trapped inside the bag and may not fall out during normal emptying.
Sensing & System Configuration
THz Imaging · RFID · AI-Assisted Recognition · Automated Sorting & Handling
Inspection, identification and downstream handling are integrated into a configurable workflow according to bag type, throughput requirements and existing logistics operations.
| Capability | Configuration & Purpose |
|---|---|
| Terahertz Imaging | Transmission-based THz imaging inspects the bag without opening it, providing image contrast for residual objects concealed within the bag. Examples include residual envelopes, small boxes, water-filled bags and bubble-mailer-type items. |
| RFID Identification | RFID reading associates each bag with its inspection record and identifies abnormal or unreadable tags for separate handling. |
| AI-Assisted Recognition | Image-analysis algorithms classify empty and non-empty bag conditions and flag suspected residual items for further handling or review. |
| Automated Sorting | Bags are routed according to inspection results, allowing normal empty bags, suspected residual-item bags and RFID-abnormal bags to follow different downstream paths. |
| System Integration | Inspection, RFID, sorting and handling modules can be configured as a standalone station or integrated into an existing conveyor and logistics workflow. |
Reference throughput of approximately 2,400 bags per hour for the automated inspection concept; achievable throughput should be confirmed against the actual bag dimensions, conveyor arrangement, inspection criteria and site workflow.
Results & Deliverables
Deliverables are defined around the selected sensing configuration and your maintenance workflow.
Inspection Images & Residual-Item Alerts
Inspection images and automated pass/fail results identifying bags with suspected retained items, supporting rapid localisation and targeted manual review.
Bag Identification & Traceable Records
Inspection results can be linked with RFID information to create traceable records of bag status, inspection outcome and subsequent handling.
Automated Sorting & Handling Workflow
Configured routing for normal bags, suspected residual-item bags and RFID exceptions, with optional downstream folding, stacking and bundling.
Custom Inspection Systems
Application-specific inspection stations integrating THz imaging, RFID, AI analysis, conveyors, sorting mechanisms and bag-handling modules around agreed site, throughput and interface requirements.
