The "Atol" company has added a video recognition function for weighed goods to the Frontol Selfie Pro software. The update is available from version 1.3.4 and allows you to automatically identify goods without a barcode using artificial intelligence.
According to the developers, weighed goods are traditionally considered a difficult category in retail: manually searching for a position in the catalog takes up to 15 seconds, which leads to queues and errors. The new system reduces processing time to 5 seconds per item and provides recognition accuracy of up to 98.9%.
The technology recognizes fruits, vegetables, nuts, sweets and other weighed goods regardless of packaging — without bags, in bags, in stretch film, in a net or partially covered by hand. The buyer places the goods on the scales, presses "Weigh the goods", the camera takes a picture and offers one or more options for confirmation. After selection, the product is automatically added to the receipt. Igor Vaag, Deputy General Director of "Atol", noted:
Video recognition of goods in Frontol Selfie Pro is an example of an innovative product that solves a real business problem for retail. Thanks to AI technologies, the system helps to work with weighed goods faster, as well as more effectively combat unintentional errors and fraud.
