A competitive company should possess the ability to rapidly adopt to changes and the new era of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) puts forward an incredible reshaping of the entire manufacturing sector. The primary goal of Industry 4.0 should be to transform the massive production lines from a system-based scheme to a product-based one, while individuals and cyber-physical systems (CPSs) should interact with each other and with objects. This advantage can be achieved in a smart factory, so as to allow product tracking all the way through manufacturing by interacting with any other factory component via cloud computing. Towards this end, in this paper we propose a vision-oriented method, which utilizes detection and tracking along with a cloud-based platform to facilitate product tracking and interaction. The proposed method make use of a panoramic camera composing a CPS, which a part of a …
