Abstract : This research paper tackles the challenges associated with manual pallet counting within industrial environments and explores the integration of deep learning techniques to enhance operational efficiency. YOLOv8, recognized as a leading object detection algorithm, serves as the foundational framework for this study. The initial phase involved the extensive collection of images and videos from diverse warehouse settings to curate a comprehensive dataset, instrumental for training and refining the YOLOv8 model. Dataset annotation was meticulously carried out utilising the Roboflow platform. Subsequently, the YOLOv8 model was trained with the custom dataset, achieving an impressive average precision of (insert percentage). The optimal model weights were meticulously saved, facilitating deployment in real-world scenarios. To extend the practicality of this research, the model was seamlessly integrated into a user-friendly web application powered by Flask, enhancing the accessibility of this technology. The implementation of the model yielded substantial enhancements in efficiency, substantially mitigating the occurrence of operational errors within warehouse management. This study underscores the remarkable potential of deep learning algorithms, not only within the realm of warehouse management but also in a broad spectrum of real-world applications. The implications of this research extend beyond the domain of pallet counting, illustrating the transformative impact of advanced technology in streamlining industrial processes and contributing to the broader landscape of automation and optimization. In conclusion, the successful integration of YOLOv8 in this context underscores the transformative power of deep learning, promising ground-breaking solutions for enhanced efficiency and precision in various operational domains.
