Counting used to be easy. Take logs for example. A few large logs, stand back and count. Job done. Now, with markets accepting very small log diameters there can be over 150 logs in three bunkers - truck and two on a trailer. Counting accurately just got easier. Take a photo of each load using your smart phone or tablet and tap each log in the photo with a finger or stylus- watch the counter keep up, providing a quick and accurate tally tally. Save time in an industry where time is money - and allow drivers to do the counting out of the cold and rain- or heat and dust/wind.
The same can be used for counting products, animals, or anything where if you get a picture of it, you can count it later easily.
