Shot-blasted DataMatrix code recovery for Industry 4.0 product traceability systems

In the Industry 4.0 era, companies improved manufacturing efficiency through the “digital world”. The purpose of the thesis is to recover the shot-blasted DataMatrix code, using the product unique identity which encoded in the DataMatrix code to build a multi-agents traceability platform, in order to obtain a complete and reliable database which contains product information and attributes, to achieve innovative Industry 4.0 product management and predictive maintenance. The main objectives are: i) product surface DataMatrix code position localization, ii) shot-blasted DataMatrix code recovery and decoding, iii) develop a smart way to collect data from the agents, and implement Manufacturing Execution System (MES) tracking.
