Some Frequently Asked Questions about the Case

How does Viscovery visual recognition system work?

We use state-of-the-art AI computer vision and deep learning technologies to train our models to visually identify items,

If NEIGHBORS BREAD's staff are already handling the bread, why is AI image recognition still needed?

Generally, unlike typical bakeries, NEIGHBORS BREAD has its staff select items for customers, allowing them to know each customer’s choices in advance. This reduces the need to verify items at checkout, which might seem to make AI unnecessary.

However, after a thorough evaluation, NEIGHBORS BREAD decided that a well-integrated AI tool would be beneficial to enhance checkout speed and ease the workload on staff.

Traditional manual checkout requires staff to manage multiple tasks simultaneously—identifying bread types, operating the POS system, handling payments, and issuing receipts. At NEIGHBORS BREAD, the staff take on even more responsibilities, such as getting bread and focusing on personalized customer service. This multitasking can lead to errors and is time-intensive.

Here, AI not only optimizes the checkout process but also helps new employees quickly learn the products, lightening their load amidst various complex tasks.

Can AI identify products without barcodes?

Certainly. One of the most important advantages of integrating AI with the checkout system is that AI can identify products without barcodes, especially baked goods.

Can the AI system recognize baked products even with minor differences in appearance?

We use generative AI and self-supervised AI to train models with the ability to smartly differentiate among similar items or items with variations in appearance, much like how humans recognize things.

If humans can tell the difference, AI can too.

Therefore, the Viscovery AI-powered recognition system can identify a wide range of products sold in bakeries, cake shops, micro-markets, convenience stores, supermarkets, cafeterias, canteens, and self-service restaurants.

My store sells not only bread but also juice and milk. Can the system recognize all of these at once?

Yes! The Viscovery AI image recognition system can identify various types of products simultaneously. As long as the items are within the camera’s view, they can all be recognized in a single scan!

How is this case being used?

NEIGHBORS BREAD implemented the Viscovery AI image recognition system in March 2024, integrating it with their existing POS system. Data shows that this AI-assisted checkout system helps NEIGHBORS BREAD staff reduce up to 1,000 POS clicks daily, cutting checkout times by 50% per transaction.

How does Viscovery's AI image recognition system integrate with NEIGHBORS BREAD's checkout system?

Viscovery AI image recognition system can integrate with various POS operating systems, including Android, iOS, and Windows.

In this case, there was no need to modify NEIGHBORS BREAD’s existing iPad POS; we simply added a tablet with the Viscovery AI software. It’s just like installing an “image-based barcode scanner”!

Can I import my product menu items from my POS system to the Viscovery AI system?

We provide various methods to easily import product catalog from POS system.

Does Viscovery AI system handle financial transactions and payments?

Our system focuses solely on AI object recognition services and does not handle any transactions or payments. However, it can integrate with various POS systems for transaction and payment services.

Will Viscovery AI system access my transaction records or any personal data?

We only provide AI object recognition services and do not store any payment or personal data.
