Problem statement – automating inventory management systems
A bookstore would like to automate part of its inventory management system. In particular, the bookstore will receive book shipments from various publishers, and normally, a staff member of the bookstore verifies the shipment content against the invoice and then enters the invoice information into the bookstore’s inventory system. In our example, we would like to automate the entering of the information by teaching the machine to read the invoice and extract shipment details from it.
