Picky Packers
Inspiration
GateGroup handles hundreds of products daily for different airlines. When errors happen, nobody knows where or why. We built a system that breaks down complex workflows into digital, measurable steps.
What it does
Module 1: Alcohol Compliance
- Input flight number and bottle conditions
- Gemini AI analyzes against airline policy
- Get instant decision: KEEP, REFILL, REPLACE, or DISCARD with reasoning
Module 2: Production Line Assistant
- Shows step-by-step instructions
- Validates with weight sensors (simulated)
- Computer vision model recognizes items
- Alerts immediately on errors
- Auto-advances when correct
How we built it
- React + TypeScript frontend
- Google Gemini 1.5 Pro for AI decisions
- Computer vision model for object recognition
- Google Cloud Platform + OAuth
- Aviation Edge API for flight data
- Simulation environment for workflow testing
Challenges we ran into
- Training computer vision to recognize items accurately
- Designing weight validation logic that handles real-world scenarios
- Creating UI that's fast enough for production workers
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- AI compliance decisions in 10 seconds
- Working computer vision model that identifies items
- Weight-based validation simulation
- Clean modular architecture ready for integration
What we learned
Building modular systems from the start makes everything easier. Real-time feedback systems need to be fast and clear. Combining multiple validation methods (weight + vision) creates robust error detection.
What's next for Picky Packers
- Integrate computer vision model with weight simulation
- Connect real hardware (scales, scanners, cameras)
- Build analytics dashboard
- Add more modules (inventory, quality docs)
