Abstract

A computer-implemented method (900) for identifying packages (116) to be discarded and sample packages (302) for quality assessment in a package flow (300) is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining (902) a package ID related to one of the packages of the package flow (300), obtaining (904) sensor data (810) associated to the package ID, applying (906) a multi-output model designed for multitask learning on the sensor data (810), wherein the multi-output model is configured to output a discarding prediction as well as a sampling prediction, forming (908) a decision whether to remove the package from the package flow (300), pull the package from the package flow (300) to conduct quality assessment, or allow the package to proceed in the package flow (300) based on the discarding prediction and the sampling prediction, in case the decision (910) is to remove the package or pull the package from the package flow (300), generating (912) control data (816, 818) reflecting the decision, wherein the control data (816, 818) comprises command signals, and transmitting (914) the control data (816, 818) to a reject mechanism (820) arranged for removing the package from the conveyor system (308) or to a sampling mechanism (824) arranged for pulling the package from the package flow (300) to a quality assessment station (814).
