Jubilant FoodWorks Limited

Computer vision-based road and driver analytics platform to reduce vehicle breakdown and improve the distribution process compliance and reduce food safety risk

Computer vision-based road and driver analytics and alert systems to keep the driver awake while driving. The camera feed used for driving analysis for better feedback and training. The video of road and driver available for post-accident analysis. Along with this, Temperature monitoring and deviation alerts along with Computer vision based real-time monitoring of vehicle loading/unloading process, any deviations against process are highlighted.

An analysis of factors therein is hence imperative to understand what transpires enroute, determining actions for reducing/eliminating such losses.

The proposed Enterprise Innovation Challenge with three (03) pre-identified problem statements tries to tackle challenges related to Analysis and reduction of in-transit breakages by 50% or Asset Register through bar code/RFID and Computer vision-based road and driver analytics platform.
