Abstract: One variation of a method includes: receiving a recycled wood workpiece in an inductor volume; accessing an image of the inductor volume; based on a set of features detected in the image, detecting a first reflective elliptical object embedded in a surface of the recycled wood workpiece and deriving a first location of the first reflective elliptical object. This variation of the method further includes: identifying the first reflective elliptical object as a first metal fastener occupying the first location; triggering the stage to drive an inductor, arranged within the inductor volume, within a target coupling distance of the first location of the first metal fastener; and triggering a driver to supply a target alternating current to the inductor to heat the first metal fastener via induction heating and to reduce retention of the first metal fastener by the recycled wood workpiece.

Abstract: A method includes: receiving a recycled wood workpiece populated with a set of metal fasteners; accessing an internal imaging scan; detecting the set of metal fasteners embedded in the recycled wood workpiece based on internal features detected in the internal imaging scan; for each metal fastener in the set of metal fasteners, extracting an initial position and an initial orientation of the metal fastener from the internal imaging scan; generating a virtual model of the recycled wood workpiece based on the internal imaging scan; accessing an image captured by an optical sensor; detecting a first metal fastener in the recycled wood workpiece; deriving a first position and a first orientation of the first metal fastener; and, in response to identifying the first metal fastener analogous to an initial metal fastener in the virtual model, isolating the first metal fastener in the virtual model and generating a fastener removal schedule.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a smart counting method and system in manufacturing, specifically in custom clothing or fabric manufacturing. The smart counting method and system uses a camera to feed real-time image data of a working platform where a worker takes a unfinished clothing or fabric, processes the clothing or fabric, and puts the finished clothing or fabric in a finished pile to a processing unit. The processing unit automatically starts a new work order and counts the number of finished products in this work order by using computer vision techniques.
