Chinese company uses Tinker Board to enable effective tracking, sorting and distribution of packages

In 2020, the State Post Bureau of China released a report on the postal express industry. Their data showed that from January to June total express cases had reached 33.88 billion pieces, which amounts to a daily average of more than 370 million pieces.

Tracking this massive amount of data was made possible by a machine vision camera system built using the ASUS Tinker Board single-board computer platform. The system was created by Xiamen MicroMatch Electronic Information Technology Co., Ltd., from China. Leveraging their micro2100 series cameras, the system efficiently reads package codes and performs optical character recognition (OCR) and detection tasks. These intelligent functions, enabled by Tinker Board, enable sorting and distribution with incredible accuracy and efficiency.

The micro2100 series machine vision cameras integrated with Tinker Board are used in many fields, including the pharmaceutical, hardware, and mobile phone industries. They are also widely used in production lines, enabling automation using industrial robotics.
