How to Build a CPG Inventory Cataloging System
Blog post from Roboflow
James Gallagher outlines a method for developing a consumer packaged goods (CPG) inventory cataloging system using Roboflow's Workflows, a low-code platform for building computer vision applications. This system allows users to take photos of products, such as coffee bags, and automatically extract and register structured data like product name, ID, and SKU. The process involves using the YOLO-World zero-shot object recognition model to detect product packaging, followed by cropping detected images and using GPT-4o to extract specific information from these images. The workflow returns results in JSON format, which can be visualized and processed further, and can be deployed on various platforms, including the Roboflow cloud and edge devices like NVIDIA Jetson.
