Warehouse and inventory management poses many challenges, for example in carton handling when upstream suppliers use labelling systems that are incompatible with a company's downstream system. In such cases, information is digitised using manual labour: this process can often become a bottleneck and, eventually, a source of handling errors. In this paper, the feasibility of applying optical character recognition (OCR) technology in carton handling is assessed, and a prototype based on the open-source engine Tesseract is described in detail. Its performance on both printed and handwritten text is quantified, as well as the impact of turning the problem into a matching problem rather than a pure recognition problem.
