Real-Time Warehouse Monitoring with Ceiling Cameras and Digital Twin for Asset Tracking and Scene Analysis

Background : Effective asset tracking and monitoring are critical for modern warehouse management. Methods : In this paper, we present a real-time warehouse monitoring system that leverages ceiling-mounted cameras, computer vision-based object detection, a knowledge-graph based world model. The system is implemented in two architectural configurations: a distributed setup with edge processing and a centralized setup. Results : Experimental results demonstrate the system’s capability to accurately detect and continuously track common warehouse assets such as pallets, boxes, and forklifts. This work provides a detailed methodology, covering aspects from camera placement and neural network training to world model integration and real-world deployment. Conclusions : Our experiments show that the system achieves high detection accuracy and reliable real-time tracking across multiple viewpoints, and it is easily scalable to large-scale logistics and inventory applications.
