Keylabs: driving AI innovation in logistics through accurate data annotation.
One of the key components of successful AI in logistics is accurate and reliable data annotation. This is where KeyLabs comes in.
KeyLabs is a data annotation platform that offers a wide range of tools for data annotation and data validation for different industries, including logistics.
Data annotation tools
Some common applications of logistics AI include:
Barcode recognition
Barcode recognition is a critical component of modern logistics, enabling efficient tracking and management of containers and parcels. Keylabs Data Annotation Platform provides an ideal solution for training AI models to recognize barcodes on containers and parcels.
One key advantage of Keylabs is its ability to handle large volumes of data, including annotated images and videos. This allows logistics companies to train their AI models on a diverse range of scenarios, improving accuracy and reducing errors.
Parcel sorting
Keylabs, a sophisticated image and video labeling platform, is the perfect solution for logistics companies seeking to optimize their operations through AI. One of Keylabs' primary benefits is its object tracking technology that can significantly increase the precision and efficiency of data annotation. Machine learning requires vast amounts of accurately annotated data, making Keylabs an essential tool in the logistics industry's digital-transformation.
Warehouse robots
In the case of warehouse robots, data annotation plays a vital role in enabling the AI algorithms to accurately identify and classify objects, such as products, shelves, or obstacles. This allows the robots to navigate the warehouse environment seamlessly, avoiding collisions and making informed decisions about picking and packing tasks. With precise data annotation, the robot can identify and handle delicate items with care, ensuring customer satisfaction and reducing potential losses.
Document annotation
Logistic document annotation involves labeling and tagging various types of data in logistics documents, such as invoices, packing slips, and bills of lading. With AI assistance, logistics companies can automate and optimize key processes related to document retrieval, data extraction, and decision-making.
Accuracy is key when it comes to identifying and extracting crucial data points, such as customer names, addresses, product details, and quantities. Misinterpretation or misclassification of this information can lead to errors, delays, and costly mistakes in the supply chain.
Key features
There are several key features that a robust data annotation tool for logistics should possess:
Versatility
The tool should be capable of handling different types of data, including 2D and 3D images, videos and point clouds generated by LiDAR sensors.
Precision
High-quality annotations are crucial for the accuracy of AI models in aerial management and disaster management. The tool should enable precise labeling of objects and features, minimizing the chances of misinterpretation.
Scalability
A data annotation tool should be scalable to handle large datasets efficiently, streamlining the annotation process and reducing the time required for model training.
Automation
AI-powered data annotation tools can leverage machine learning algorithms to automate parts of the annotation process, speeding up the workflow and increasing overall efficiency.
Collaboration
A good data annotation tool should facilitate collaboration among team members, enabling multiple annotators to work together on the same dataset. This ensures consistency in labeling and accelerates the annotation process.
Quality control
To ensure the highest level of accuracy, the tool should have built-in quality control features that allow for easy review and verification of annotated data. This helps maintain data integrity and improves the overall performance of the AI models being trained.
Customization
The annotation requirements may change or become more complex. A flexible data annotation tool should allow for customization to meet the unique needs of each project and adapt to new challenges in the industry.
Integration
The data annotation tool should be able to integrate seamlessly with various machine learning frameworks and platforms, making it easier for developers to use the annotated data for model training and evaluation.
Data Security
A data annotation tool must prioritize data security and privacy, ensuring that the information is protected at all stages of the annotation process.

Magic wand
Magic wand
Speeds up the annotation process by automatically detecting closed shapes of the same color or color gradient in a highly precise manner.
Object interpolation
Object interpolation
Object interpolation in the data annotation process is used to accelerate the annotation of objects across a sequence of frames in video annotation.
Annotators label the shape of an object in the first and the last keyframe of desired sequence and the object interpolation algorithm automatically generates the labels for the object in the intermediate frames.
It saves time and also ensures consistent labeling across frames.
A-Z order
A-Z order
Objects can be placed on different leveled layers, which allows operators to correctly detect and work with those objects and their boundaries.
Multilayer annotation
Multilayer annotation
Multilayer annotation is a complex yet valuable process in data annotation where different types of materials are layered onto a single item.
This allows the addition of multiple, diverse annotations to a single piece of data such as an image or video frame.
Each layer might provide a different dimension of information, enriching the dataset with multiple facets of detail.
This allows the addition of multiple, diverse annotations.
Object linking
Object linking
Object linking in the data annotation process is a valuable function that connects different instances of the same object across multiple frames or images.
For example, in video annotation, an object appearing in different frames is linked throughout the video, ensuring the continuity and consistency of the annotation.
Hierarchical atributes
Hierarchical atributes
The attribute is a type of tag that can be applied to a class or property to provide metadata about it.
Using attribute hierarchies, it is possible to define structures of metadata for each item in dataset.
It is achieved by using dependent attributes, which allows logical forming of metadata information for frame or object individually.
Workflow and task distribution
Workflow and task distribution
Workflow includes custom stages of one of 4 project stage types: annotation, verification, miscellanious and final.
Good workflow and task distribution ensure that the data annotation process is smooth, efficient and completed within the required timeframe.
Data management
Data management
Data management in the context of the data annotation process is about strategically handling and organizing the data throughout its lifecycle.
Effective data management helps to uphold data integrity and ensure that the final annotated data is accurate, consistent and ready for use in AI and machine learning projects.
Attributes interpolation
Attributes interpolation
Attributes metadata can also be interpolatable (changed) between the frames. For instance, In a self-driving car video annotation, this can label a car as a "sedan" going "30 mph" in the first frame & automatically estimate its type & speed in subsequent frames until the next key frame. This eliminates the need for manual annotation in each intervening frame, saving time & effort.
