How does it work?

1. Positioning on the Scale: When the customer completes the purchase, he arrives at the iaCarry-Station scale, the customer places his shopping cart.

2. Start of Recognition: Once positioned, a quick aerial photo of the cart begins the recognition process.

3. Processing with Artificial Intelligence: Powerful artificial intelligence, developed with Google-TensorFlow and computer vision from Facebook, comes into action to identify each product in the cart.

4. Detailed Data Association: Each product is associated with its barcode, price and weight, generating a detailed and accurate list of the items in the cart.

5. Continuous Customer Communication: Throughout the entire process, the customer receives visual and audible signals on the station screen, from initial loading to confirmation of product recognition.

6. Efficient Electronic Payment: With the list complete, the customer makes payment electronically at the associated dataphone.

7. Automatic Pass Through: Once the transaction is completed, the pass through signal is automatically activated, allowing the customer to push the cart to the exit without delay.

Bulk Product

How is bulk product managed?

Fruit, as iaCarry manages fruit, meat and fish, today the scale combined with Machine Learning vision is not able to distinguish a Reineta apple from a Golden one. It requires weighing, as in current express checkouts, next to the iaCarry-Station or in the fruit section (consumer function). If you want iaCarry to manage the bulk product, the QR or barcode fruit label must be placed visible to the ceiling camera. Useful to detect fraudulent weighing by displaying the message “120 grams are missing for the account to be valid, and fruit has been detected, is the weighing correct?” “

Picaresque

What if you place the cereal box on top of the toothpaste?

This scenario is very real, to avoid this scam, the user will be informed on the screen that 130 grams are missing, with a friendly suggestion of which products weigh close to that amount (cookies, drinks, toothpaste, creams).
On screen: “The weight of the cart does not correspond, the camera is not capable of reading all the products, please replace 130 grams, that weight could correspond to these products…”

iaCarry proactively addresses scamming by detecting weight discrepancies, interacting with the customer via screen, offering friendly suggestions, and providing information on similar products. With a positive and transparent approach, iaCarry improves the integrity of the purchasing process and the customer experience

Advantages

Advantages over other fast-cashing technology products

Without thousands of Machine Learning cameras following the client, without major camera wiring works in the facilities, just one in a box.
Without cameras and computers inside the car, the screen and camera system inside the shopping cart itself makes the maintenance, support and purchase of the shopping cart extremely expensive. You go from having a computer in an iaCarry-Station box to having a computer in each cart (add +-1200 computers to the company network per purchasing center). Shopping cart batteries need to be charged constantly. A support, cost and maintenance nightmare.

What is the shopping cart like?

The shopping cart is a totally passive subject, without any electronics, without extra maintenance

The cart has a smaller handrail to prevent the customer from tending to put some products on top of others. The current equivalent would be the wheelchair-adaptive cart. Surface for 594mm x 640mm products (+-30 products)
If desired, there is also a medium cart Surface for 660mm x 840mm products (+-58 products)
Ask about him soon. Large 2-story cart with small railings. 960mm x 1340mm (+-105 products)

It is strongly recommended not to recycle conventional carts (with railings greater than 15cm) for iaCarry-Station

Fast cash boxes

But, I have already implemented the conventional "fast" cash boxes

The "fast" checkout means that the customer has to: go up, scan, take down, weigh and put each product in the trolley. It is a "heavy" technology for the user, and many customers actually prefer to be checked out if there is not much of a queue.
Any competitor who implements iaCarry or an equivalent fast-cashing technology system will render the investment in "fast" checkout totally obsolete.
