AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Large-scale supermarkets are too large and have a variety of products, causing customers to get lost among the shelves, unable to quickly obtain all the products they need, wasting time, and the "quickness" that physical shopping should have is becoming more and more difficult to reflect

Due to the constant changes in the placement of goods in supermarkets and the untimely replacement of prompt signs, the indication function of traditional supermarkets is not humanized enough, causing customers to go the wrong way when they are very close to the target.

Today's supermarkets are mostly warehouse-style management, and the tall shelves make it difficult to find products

Nowadays, the promotion methods of supermarkets are also too backward. Most of them still rely on leaflets to notify fresh products or price reductions, so that customers cannot keep abreast of some preferential activities in supermarkets.
