Automatic readout procedure of weapon serial numbers: Finding a solution together with the innovation space sandbox
Within the innovation space sandbox for the Armed Forces Logistics Centre Thun (ALC-T) of the Armed Forces Logistics Organisation (AFLO) solutions were sought for scanning weapon serial numbers in cooperation with armasuisse Science and Technology (S+T). The aim was to examine technological solutions which could reliably replace the manual scanning and entry of serial numbers by humans through an automated procedure. To evaluate the state of the art, proposed solutions were sought by exploring the market using SIMAP, followed by invitations to a joint examination with the consumer.
