System and method for tracking an item on a pallet in a warehouse

A system for tracking an item on a pallet in a warehouse, comprising:

• at least one pallet;
• designated storage locations in the warehouse;
• a vehicle for lifting, moving, and setting down pallets;
• a motion sensor being provided on the vehicle, the motion sensor being wireless enabled and being capable of determining the lifting, moving and setting down of pallets, the motion sensor being configured to send lifting, moving, and setting down information when the motion sensor senses motion;
• an image processor provided on the vehicle, the image processor being wireless enabled, the image processor having a field of view capable of processing images of the pallet and the location of the pallet when the pallet is in contact with the vehicle;
• a server, the server being communicatively linked to the image processor and the motion sensor, the server having access to a database;
• an algorithm, the algorithm being communicatively linked to the motion sensor, the image processor, and the server, the algorithm being configured to direct the image processor to process images based on information received from the motion sensor about the pallet being lifted, being moved and being set down;
• the algorithm being further configured to receive processed images and to send the processed images with annotated motion sensor information to the server;
• the server being configured to organize the annotated processed images;
• and
• the server being further configured to identify and flag annotated processed images which show pallets without identifying tags and pallets which are not set down in designated storage locations.
