Makerspace Resource Management System
After a makerspace entered the locations of its equipment and tools, members can ask by voice where an item is at any time.
AI Voice Warehouse Management
Voice-directed stock logging paired with edge vision for shelf inventory
The Watcher understands spoken commands and identifies the operator, writing results to the built-in warehouse system or your existing ERP / WMS. Deploy in the cloud, on a local host or fully offline.
Keeps Your Workflow
Keep scanners and RFID; up to 20 operators recognised on-device
Runs Locally When Offline
Speech recognition, the LLM and the warehouse system can all run inside the facility; work continues when offline
Ready to Deploy
Runs in about 30 minutes out of the box, open source to modify
Scenario details
SenseCAP Watcher takes stock transactions by voice through its microphone and recognizes and verifies people through its camera; the whole stack can run on site with no internet.
Voice Stock Entry
Pain Points & Challenges
Forklift operators and warehouse pickers have hands full with bulky crates; logging entries forces them to drop goods, unholster scanners, and key in SKUs, breaking productivity and inviting typos.
Edge AI Solution
Mount voice-enabled smart terminals by racking bays, detecting wake words locally to parse spoken SKU quantities and bin locations, reading back confirmations over audio to enable completely hands-free workflows.
Core Advantages
- Inbound Entry: Spoken SKU quantities automatically log to inventory receipts
- Outbound Picking: Voice confirmation logs shipping orders and deducts stocks
- Voice Query: Forklift operators check bin quantities hands-free
Receiving
"Stock in 5 Watchers" writes the receipt and reads back the new total.
Picking & Shipping
"Ship 3 units to ABC Company" creates the outbound record for that customer.
Stock Lookup by Voice
Ask "How many items on shelf A3?" and the Watcher answers by voice while the forklift driver stays seated.
Voice-Controlled Warehouse Management
Ready to deployFace ID & Greeting
Pain Points & Challenges
Conventional RFID badge access in high-value stockrooms suffers card borrowing and buddy-punching, while cloud facial scanners fail under internet outages and fall prey to printed photo spoof attacks.
Edge AI Solution
Mount edge AI cameras equipped with depth sensing and local NPUs at storage gates, performing binocular liveness checks and facial matching on-premise within 200 ms to grant entry even during total offline conditions.
Core Advantages
- Proactive Greeting: Radar sensing triggers personalized spoken greetings on approach
- On-Device Auth: Local NPU matches face features in milliseconds without network
- Anti-Spoofing: Binocular IR liveness checks defeat photo and video replay attacks
Proactive Greeting
When the camera detects someone approaching, the Watcher greets them by voice.
On-Device Face ID
The Himax WE2 runs face recognition on the Watcher, with up to 20 face templates.
Liveness Detection
Beyond 20 people, face recognition runs gateway-side on a Hailo-8 or Jetson, with liveness detection.
Voice-Controlled Warehouse Management
Ready to deployRuns Fully Offline
Pain Points & Challenges
Logistics hubs and bonded warehouses frequently suffer fiber cuts or lightning storms; relying on cloud SaaS WMS and cloud LLMs halts physical logistics operations instantly when the connection drops, exposing proprietary trade volumes to the cloud.
Edge AI Solution
Host offline speech recognition, quantized on-premise SLMs, and local warehouse management systems entirely inside industrial edge workstations, guaranteeing 100% autonomous offline uptime with zero data egress.
Core Advantages
- Edge Inference: Speech recognition, LLM, and TTS run locally on Jetson
- Data Privacy: Warehouse inventory logs and audio streams never leave the LAN
- Offline Uptime: Stock entries and lookups proceed seamlessly during network cuts
Local Speech & LLM
Speech recognition, the LLM and speech synthesis all run on a local Jetson.
Data Stays on the LAN
Inventory data and audio stay on the local network.
Keeps Working Offline
Voice stock entry and lookups continue when the internet is down.

System Architecture
Voice HMI connected to edge WMS gateways
Smart warehouse management connects AI capabilities and warehouse systems through voice interaction terminals, letting on-site staff complete inventory lookups, stock-in/out registration, and stocktaking through natural language, with results synced to the enterprise's existing business processes.
Core Advantages
- Voice Interface: Operators speak naturally to log receipts, picks, and queries
- System Reuse: Standard REST and MCP APIs connect directly to legacy ERP and WMS
- Tiered Deploy: Flexible choices from cloud SaaS to edge hosts or full offline
| Image | Device | Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Watcher | HMI front-end | Voice and vision interaction front-end; required by all deployments |
 | reComputer R1100 Series | Entry host (R1000 class) | Tier 1: face recognition for up to 20 operators (on the Watcher) |
 | reComputer Industrial R21 Series | Industrial host (R2000 class) | Tiers 2A / 3: more than 20 operators or liveness detection (Hailo-8) |
Local Server
Edge host running on-site WMS management
The Watcher acts as the voice-and-vision interaction front-end, handling stocktaking, quantity reporting, and command entry right on the warehouse floor; a local server (reComputer) runs the warehouse management system with data kept on-premises. For up to 20 operators, face recognition runs on the Watcher and an R1000-class host is enough; for more than 20 operators or liveness detection, choose the industrial R2000 (Hailo-8). For 2–3 work points, a single J40 handles it; see the AI Server card.
| Image | Device | Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
 | reComputer J40 Series | Multi-site (Tier 2B) | Orin NX 16GB; warehouse system + face recognition + local speech, up to 3 Watchers |
 | reComputer J50 Series | Offline (Tier 3) | Local LLM and speech synthesis, paired with an industrial R2000 |
AI Server
Edge AI hosts running offline speech models
Add a Jetson host when speech or the LLM must run locally. For 2–3 work points, one J40 (Orin NX 16GB) runs the warehouse system, face recognition and the local speech service for up to 3 Watchers, with LLM calls over the internet (Tier 2B). To keep all data on-site, a J50 runs the local LLM EdgeLLM (Qwen3.5-4B) and OpenVoiceStream speech synthesis on the premises, alongside an industrial R2000 (Tier 3).

Warehouse staff run stock lookups, inbound/outbound logging, stocktaking and record queries by voice, cutting manual data entry and after-the-fact catch-up so inventory data reaches the warehouse system sooner.
It is a complete package — voice device, warehouse system, plus a cloud service or an on-premise host depending on the package. Use our warehouse system as-is, or connect it to your existing ERP/WMS.
Yes — see the wiki tutorial, or contact us for the latest demo videos.
A one-click deployment app walks you through network setup, binding, deployment and testing; Tier 1 goes from zero to running in about 30 minutes. Step-by-step guides are on the wiki.
Yes. Packages 1 through 3 connect to an existing ERP/WMS so voice operations sync back into it. The cloud edition (package 0) does not yet support ERP/WMS integration and suits lighter use of our own cloud warehouse system.
Yes. The system imports Excel, so you can tidy your current stock data into the template and load it — a fit for warehouses that have no ERP/WMS and run on spreadsheets today. Excel stock template:
Yes. Voice, barcode scanners, RFID and manual entry all work in parallel. Voice adds one more entry point on top of how the warehouse already works — nothing existing is taken away.
Yes. The Seeed devices used in this solution can be customized with your own logo, enclosure, packaging and pre-loaded firmware, and existing models can be adapted to add or drop interfaces and features. , or see Customization Service for scope and process.
