In an era where data drives business decisions, companies across industries are challenged with managing large volumes of product information quickly and accurately. Whether it’s retailers uploading extensive product catalogs or healthcare providers ensuring precise pharmaceutical labeling, the demand for efficient, automated product data management is growing rapidly. Automation is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for staying competitive and compliant in today’s digital-first economy.
At RAVA Global Solutions, we’ve developed an innovative AI-powered solution that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Azure cloud services to extract key product attributes from packaging materials. This technology not only reduces manual effort but also ensures high accuracy in capturing essential data, ultimately boosting operational efficiency and product data integrity.
What is Product Attribute Extraction?
Product Attribute Extraction involves the automated identification and extraction of critical product information from images or scanned packaging. This includes details such as:
- Brand name
- Functional name
- Country of origin
- Nutritional facts
- Ingredients
- Manufacturer information
- Compliance certifications
- Barcodes and pricing
- Fabric composition and care instructions
- Technical specifications
At RAVA Global Solutions, we combine the power of Python 3.10, GPT-4, Regex, Azure Custom Vision, Azure OpenAI Service, and Azure Durable Functions to create a robust, scalable, and customizable solution. Our system reads OCR-extracted text and uses AI to intelligently extract structured data, even from noisy or cluttered labels.
Key Industry Use Cases
Our AI-based attribute extraction technology has broad applications across several key industries. Below are some examples of how businesses are already using this solution to their advantage:
Retail and E-Commerce
Retailers and e-commerce platforms need to manage large product catalogs across multiple digital storefronts. Manual data entry can be time-consuming and prone to error.
Use Case:
Automating catalog creation and ensuring consistent product attributes across platforms like Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart. The system extracts product names, ingredients, pricing, barcodes, and other details directly from the packaging, improving search functionality, categorization, and recommendations.
Grocery and FMCG
Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) brands handle frequent product updates, strict labeling laws, and ever-changing inventory.
Use Case:
Extracting nutrition facts, allergen warnings, expiration dates, and ingredients to ensure compliance and keep consumers informed. This enables faster product onboarding and streamlines updates across retail channels.
Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare
In highly regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, capturing the correct data from product labels is critical for compliance, safety, and operational efficiency.
Use Case:
Digitizing medicine labels to extract dosage instructions, active ingredients, manufacturer information, and batch numbers. This helps ensure compliance with regulatory bodies such as the FDA or EMA and supports the automation of prescription and inventory systems.
Logistics and Supply Chain
Accurate and timely data is essential for shipping and inventory systems. Manually entering product specs and country of origin details can lead to delays and errors.
Use Case:
Automating customs declarations by extracting origin country, Harmonized System (HS) codes, weight, and packaging dimensions from product labels. This ensures proper classification and reduces cross-border shipping errors.
Fashion and Apparel
Apparel brands require detailed product tagging for filtering, sorting, and search optimization on digital platforms.
Use Case:
Extracting fabric content, washing instructions, size, and color from clothing tags to support product listing automation and enhance the online shopping experience.
Electronics and Consumer Goods
Product specification accuracy is key to ensuring customers receive correct information and support.
Use Case:
Pulling technical specifications like model numbers, power ratings, and product dimensions directly from labels to standardize listings and reduce warranty claim errors.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Tracking product certifications and regulatory approvals can be challenging without centralized systems.
Use Case:
Identifying certifications such as CE markings, ISO standards, and environmental compliance from packaging to automate audit trails and ensure legal compliance.
