PC Scales CS-2255 Self-Service with Computer Vision

PC scales in self-service format with integrated computer vision camera for recognition of the product placed on the plate.

Main characteristics
This self-service PC scale solution helps, by means of a camera and an computer vision system, to recognise the product placed on the plate, contributing significantly to the reduction of shrinkage of fruit and vegetables, and improving the customer experience in the supermarket.

The solution consists of:
CS-2200 Series self-service PC scale with computer vision kit.
gFresh system to support the identification of the product placed on the scale: when a product is placed on the plate, the system suggests 1 or several candidates depending on the certainty of detection, with a maximum of 8 candidates displayed. If the system does not detect any relevant product, it will display the conventional self-service screen.

Requirements for the correct functioning of the solution
Availability of information on the catalogue of products to be detected prior to start the implementation.
Adequate and constant lighting in the area where the gFresh scales are located.
Use of CS-2200 series self-service PC scales equipped with the computer vision kit.
Ensuring internet connection windows on the scales for learning, monitoring and updating of the system (minimum bandwidth required: 10 Mb/s).
Although internet connection via wifi is possible, Dibal always recommends a wired connection.
Use of transparent or translucent bags without printing for the products to be weighed.

Options for Computer Vision solution
Generic mode (recommended): standard model that includes the most common fruits and vegetables. It is quicker to set up.
Ad-hoc mode: specific development for the client, with training of the system from scratch with their particular products; requires a longer implementation time.
