4:40 PM – „Multimodal Approaches for Information Extraction from Industrial Product Labels“

Thesis by Jannes Nitzsche in collaboration with Telekom MMS

Industrial product labels contain structured information such as item numbers, descriptions, or quantity details, and the automated extraction of this information poses a major challenge in logistics and warehouse automation. This thesis compares various approaches to extracting this information in terms of extraction quality, robustness, and processing speed. The collaboration with Telekom MMS demonstrates a real-world use case for the productive deployment of current AI technologies in an industrial setting.
