Ink fade, seal, label UV system.

Abstract

To provide a seal or a label which is stuck to a food article or an exhibited article exhibited in a store and makes it possible to know a discount without wasting manpower and time.SOLUTION: Red and yellow which are easily faded by ultraviolet rays are mainly dyed to form a seal and a label.SELECTED DRAWING: None

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] These are fade-resistant stickers and labels designed by SGETIS to encourage customers to buy fresh food, daily necessities, bento boxes, rice balls, bread, prepared foods, etc., which are consumed on the same day and sold out, by discounting them over time, giving them a sense of value and encouraging them to consume the items on the same day and prevent them from being left unsold. [Background technology]

[0002] When the store opens, any consumable items (items that would be a problem if left over) that are put on display must be discarded, so to prevent this, employees (clerks) must go around the store to put discount price tags on old food items, which takes time and manpower, so we developed a system that uses UV-faded stickers and labels that can be detected by AI and discounted at the register, so that there is no need to put discount stickers on items that have already been put on the store.Also, there are sticker labels that have numbers printed in black or dots that do not fade underneath the fading ink. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] When the store opens, the stickers and labels on the food and other items displayed in the store are faded using a black light that emits ultraviolet light (which also sterilizes), and as the items are displayed, AI detects this and calculates the discount at the register, preventing customer discomfort. This eliminates labor shortages and time wastage, and the black numbers or dotted prints underneath the faded items, which do not use AI, are visible on the front, making it clear that the price has been discounted. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The price tags and labels for food products are dyed mainly in red and yellow, which are easily faded by ultraviolet rays, and the price tags can be seen over time.If the store opens at 10:00, the tags will fade and discolor over the next 7 or 8 hours, when customers are returning home in the evening.This will allow AI to calculate discounts based on the fading and discoloration, contributing to the labor shortage and SDGs. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] This fading and discoloration, especially the red and yellow, are warm colors that give a good impression to food products, lunch boxes, rice balls, and other food-related items.

[0006] Ultraviolet light (black light fluorescent lamps) that emit ultraviolet light do not take up much space on store shelves, are simple to install, and are inexpensive. [Example]

[0007] Although there are no examples, the results of tests and theories have been well received. [Industrial Applicability]

[0008] There are hundreds of thousands of supermarkets and convenience stores across Japan, so we came up with a solution that would alleviate labor shortages, save time, and contribute to SDGs without requiring capital investment. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

Claims

1. The ink is exposed to ultraviolet light to fade its color.

2. The time can be determined by shining ultraviolet light on the ink and seeing how it fades.
