Implementing an Intelligent Gate Control System for Warehouses with SingTown Technology's OpenMV Machine Vision Solution to Achieve 'Understanding, Thinking, and Decision-Making' Capabilities

In modern warehousing logistics and factory automation scenarios, traditional warehouse doors rely on manual operation or simple infrared triggering, which cannot distinguish between personnel, forklifts, and loading vehicles. This often leads to false triggers, energy waste, or safety hazards.

To enhance warehouse efficiency and intelligent capabilities, industrial automation enterprises have adopted SingTown's OpenMV intelligent camera AI image recognition technology. Through machine vision and AI deep learning image recognition algorithms, precise identification and logical control of personnel, manual forklifts, and loaded objects are achieved. This system automatically determines whether warehouse doors should open, creating an efficient and secure intelligent access management system.

Industrial automation enterprises have deployed SingTown OpenMV intelligent cameras at warehouse entrances and exits, establishing an intelligent warehouse door control system based on AI machine vision image recognition algorithms.

The system can automatically determine the type of passage object:

Individual passage → does not trigger door opening;

Personnel pushing manual forklift through or personnel pushing loaded forklift through → automatic door opening.

The system is installed on both sides of the warehouse door, capturing real-time images of entry and exit scenarios. It identifies the type of entering objects through target detection and size recognition algorithms.

The AI neural network model identifies targets based on their dimensions and morphological characteristics, using forklift dimensions (approximately 1.2×1.5 metres, height 0.2–2 metres) as the standard. It combines deep learning and contour detection algorithms to determine the target category and direction of movement.

A single OpenMV intelligent camera can achieve stable recognition within a certain range without the need for additional sensors. Moreover, the system's automatic exposure, white balance, and real-time motion detection capabilities ensure stable operation and accurate judgement even under varying lighting conditions or when the target is in motion.

SingTown OpenMV Smart Camera features edge computing and I/O control capabilities. Its recognition results can directly trigger door control relays, enabling local automatic opening and closing without the need for external servers, with a latency of less than 50 milliseconds.

Leveraging SingTown's software and hardware platform, this solution offers flexible edge deployment advantages, unrestricted by warehouse door dimensions, enabling safety protection against accidental activation, energy-saving control, and intelligent logistics access management.

Through SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera edge-side AI visual recognition technology, traditional warehouse access control systems are upgraded into truly intelligent visual gate control systems with "recognition and decision-making" capabilities.
