The Vision Suite provides comprehensive statistics about the items being sorted and, through customizable policies, gives you granular control over which items should be sorted and how.
Overview
Vision Suite is a cutting-edge input-output technology designed to enhance the capabilities of automated sorting systems in parcel companies. By integrating seamlessly with your existing setup, Vision Suite enriches parcel data with advanced classifiers, enabling you to make more informed, efficient decisions.
This powerful software solution focuses on what is being sorted rather than how it's being sorted. From identifying materials and shapes to detecting potential risks like dangerous goods or damaged parcels, Vision Suite offers real-time insights and triggers based on your policies.

Classifiers
The Vision Suite includes a broad catalog of Classifiers that can be enabled independently per customer demands. Each can be enabled/disabled and in Statistics/Active mode.
/* Parcel is flagged as potential_illicit and the value is the type of infringement. Example */
{
"output": {
"is_counterfeit": true,
"is_grey_market": false,
“is_drugs”: false,
“is_guns_explosives”: false
}
}
/* Parcel Data is enriched with Senders, Receivers, and Barcodes data (lists with 0 or many items). If the setting permits, a sortation trigger can be emitted as well. Example: */
{
"output": {
"no_reads_data": {
"barcodes": [

"combined": "First and Last Name Address 1 Street 123 12345 zipcode DE Berlin"
}
]
}
}
}
/* Parcel is flagged as potential_damage. If available, info regarding the type of damage is added to the key damage_type. Example: */

}
}

In Statistics Mode, Vision Suite provides a comprehensive Parcel Intelligence Dashboard (PID), allowing you to view all scanned parcels and their enriched data within the retention period (default 30 days, extendable).
This mode offers deep insights without impacting operations, as no sortation triggers are activated.
In Active Mode, Vision Suite generates sortation events based on your custom policies. You define the rules, and the system automatically directs parcels to specific chutes or actions.
Easily add, edit, or disable policies anytime to adapt to your operational needs.
Benefits
Identify potential threats to sort performance or integrity (e.g., non-conveyable items, kettlebells, explosives).
Minimizes the need for manual intervention.
Supports higher throughput and faster processing times (e.g., by reducing No-reads or avoiding stopping the sorter due to damage).
Reduce handling costs, manage sortation risk, and optimize your cost per parcel with Countercheck's Vision Suite
Ensures high speed and data security without needing external API calls.
Provides detailed insights and control over sorting operations.
Countercheck is a link between online and offline worlds. We intercept parcels coming from e-commerce flow, but not only. While counterfeit wholesalers are misusing parcel delivery channels to fill in their brick-and-mortar stores, we detect their new routes and disrupt those supply chains.
All data remains at your facility, is your property, and nothing leaves your site. You remain the owner of your data. Everything is fully GDPR compliant.
It may vary by jurisdiction, but as a common rule, the appropriate clause is integrated in Carriers' General Terms and Conditions. Delivery partners reserve the right to open and inspect the content of the parcel if they suspect prohibited goods being transported in the consignment. A fully legal process will be presented to you by our legal team.
Normally, no, we use existing hardware and connect with the sorter or image archive without disturbing your daily operations. We’re a software company, the only hardware we provide is servers that we cover the cost of. If desired by the carrier, we can provide a hardware/ camera solution.
We place cameras over each induction point to identify anomalies. The system is trained to detect any anomaly that could cause problems, preventing these parcels from entering the conveyor. Once an anomaly is detected, the induction belt stops until the parcel is removed. If your facility has a separate belt for larger parcels, we can automatically redirect the parcel
When an anomaly enters the sorter, it risks damaging the equipment and causing stoppages, leading to delays and costly repairs. Our solution saves money, reduces downtime, and shortens lead times, enhancing customer satisfaction.
OCR allows us to detect not only external anomalies but also predict if the parcel's content is non-conveyable. For example, a kettlebell might look like a normal box but could cause significant damage to the sorter if not detected.
The OCR scans for key indicators, such as sender, receiver, weight, and shape, and compares them to our extensive database. The AI-powered system continuously improves by learning from your facility's specific challenges.
We analyse images from the camera tunnel in real time. Our models are trained to detect even barely visible LQ & ADR labels with 99.6% accuracy. If the human eye can detect the label, our model can too.
Yes, we provide a detailed real-time report through our platform, informing you of the type and quantity of ADRs in your facility.
Yes, we can overwrite the sorter's decision and direct ADR parcels to a specific area or sort different ADR classes according to your preferences.
Proper handling of ADRs helps you avoid penalties in jurisdictions where regulations are strict. Our solution reduces manual handling, aids in last-mile planning, and optimises AIR-freight logistics.
This feature identifies the external material of parcels, such as plastic or cardboard.
Understanding parcel materials is valuable for planning last-mile delivery. We can direct parcels based on their packaging material, improving the efficiency of your last-mile operations.
The detection method varies depending on the type of fraud. For example, return label fraud is detected by identifying mismatches between barcode data and label information. In some cases, we may need to connect with your internal system to identify suspicious activities. Our detection system is tailored to your specific needs.
Return label fraud can be costly due to the time spent investigating lost parcels and compensating customers. Our system shifts the burden to the fraudster. Additionally, by preventing the delivery of parcels with fake labels, we help protect your revenue and improve your capacity.
