【2020 Application Example】 AI Bread Recognition System, machine scans, and the price is instantly calculated for you!

A brilliant idea transforming AI facial recognition technology

As artificial intelligence develops, more and more industries are embracing AI technology, even subtly entering into people's lives. As most bakeries sell freshly made bread and pastries, which typically do not have barcodes, they rely on cashiers to visually identify each item and enter the type and price of the bread. Thus, inspired by AI facial recognition technology, if such artificial intelligence could identify hundreds of types of bread, it could enhance checkout efficiency...

Diverse handmade breads delight customers but challenge clerks!

A local bakery has over 100 types of bread, regularly updating or adding new products, offering customers a variety of choices; this poses a challenge for cashiers.

It takes two months to train a cashier, but even after they start, there's still a 5 to 10% error rate due to bread recognition mistakes each month, especially during peak checkout times after work, causing bottlenecks and further errors due to the stress on cashiers. The difficulty in training cashiers and the lack of precision in the checkout process have long troubled businesses...

When baking meets artificial intelligence, it sparks a marvelous retail experience!

In typical bakeries, bread is sold 'naked' immediately after baking and then 'packaged' when it cools to room temperature. Both methods require cashiers to recognize and remember the prices and undergo two months of training before they can work the cash register. Even then, there is still a 5 to 10% error rate each month. My Dee Bakery, with its extensive range of over 100 bread types, poses a significant challenge for cashiers!

Due to Yun Kui Technology Co., Ltd.'s expertise in developing iPad POS systems, which are designed to be simple, convenient, and easy to use, they allow businesses to check out efficiently and accurately. Therefore, integrating the existing POS system with AI image recognition capabilities enables businesses to carry out transactions more efficiently and precisely.

2. Image annotation: The image data is handed over to Mu Kesi Co., Ltd. for manual annotation.

3. AI modeling and training: Managed by Mu Kesi, who adjusts AI models and training.

4. iPad POS adjustment: Simultaneous adjustments of the UI interface on the POS side and backend integration with the AI model.

5. Start testing: Once Mu Kesi reaches over 95% recognition accuracy with current data, formal integration testing begins.

6. Real scene testing: Move to the bakery to gather data and verify the correct recognition rates.

7. Planning real scene application accessories: When recognition accuracy exceeds 98%, design accessories for on-site checkout, such as remote cameras and projection light sources.

8. Official Application: Integration with electronic receipts goes live.

Advancing to Smart Logistics 5.0: Hsinchu Logistics Delivers Medical Materials with Ultra-High Efficiency

After incorporating AI technology, traditional logistics companies have seen significant improvements in transportation efficiency and reductions in transportation costs, especially in the transfer of medical materials which involves timely service and rights of hospitals and patients The implementation of intelligent logistics can save medical material businesses the cost of constructing GDP warehouses and other expenses up to millions A major domestic logistics leader, Hsinchu Transport HCT, owns a fleet of 3,500 vehicles and a storage area of 60,000 square meters, providing customized logistics solutions including logistics, commerce, finance, information, distribution, storage, and processing The company handles up to 580,000 parcels per day, with a maximum capacity reaching 900,000 parcels, making the enhancement of transshipment efficiency crucial for HCT Medical materials transportation at hospitals need optimization of current operational processes and enhancements in systematization and intelligence Especially the transportation of hospital medical materials, which encounters various challenges Medical materials suppliers need to cater to varying customer product demands, temperature requirements, and delivery times through multiple logistics providers This highly depends on the experience and careful control of operations staff Whether it is the product shipment or actual logistics process, each step must be interconnected Any human errors can impact the service timing and rights of the hospitals and patients Thus, all concerned businesses, along with the government and hospitals, are working to optimize current operational processes and elevate the level of systematization, automation, and intelligence to minimize service errors and cost losses HCT's distribution process prior to AI implementation Currently, with the government's push for standardized platform operations on the demand side of hospitals, supply-side businesses collaborate through data coordination to improve the accuracy and efficiency of product shipments, enhancing operational quality and management benefits at the demand side At the same time, some businesses are also investing in the standardization and systematization of internal operational processes, thus enhancing operational efficiency and quality In the freight logistics sector, logistics companies' warehouse staff need to expend labor to control different logistics shipment operations If they often receive emergency task notifications for shipments to medical facilities, they usually depend on small regional logistics providers to provide customized delivery services Although this improves delivery times, it does not allow for integrated informational services The new GDP regulations for medical materials require suppliers to undergo GDP compliance certification Therefore, Hsinchu Transport, assisted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' AI coaching program, not only extends existing logistics services compliant with GDP regulations but will also use data integration and optimized AI technologies to help medical material businesses streamline and improve their logistics operations Complex logistics issues are solved using the Simulated Annealing SA algorithm To meet the 'Good Distribution Practices for Medical Devices,' Hsinchu Transport is not only actively introducing new logistics vehicles but will also implement artificial intelligence-based mathematical optimization technologies to assist in intelligent scheduling at nationwide business points and transshipment stations They aim to optimize the routing of medical materials between business points or regions thereby enhancing efficiency in the distribution process Currently, during the transshipment process of medical materials at Hsinchu Transport, detachable tractor heads and containers are used Each business point and transshipment station differ in location design and staffing, impacting the throughput per unit of time Furthermore, daily cargo conditions size, destination vary, and due to these fluctuating and distinct demands, the deployment of tractor heads and containers changes accordingly Under these circumstances, Hsinchu Transport relies on past experiences to schedule departures at each satellite depot and adjusts daily according to the cargo needs Due to the reliance on empirical scheduling, it is often difficult to consider all variables and considerations, leaving room for improvement in the current departure schedules The cargo delivery planning inherently constitutes an NP-Hard problem, difficult to solve with traditional analytical methods Hsinchu Transport, in collaboration with Singular Infinity, utilizes the Simulated Annealing SA algorithm to find solutions The new logistic service introduced by Hsinchu Transport is 'GDP Container Shift Planning' This planning involves estimating future volumes of medical materials between stations and scheduling container truck shifts accordingly, ensuring timely and quality delivery of medical materials while maximizing operational benefits and reducing travel distances Hsinchu Transport introduces AI-optimized shift planning, constructing the most efficient route from its origin to destination Hsinchu Transport introduces 'Optimized Shift Planning' service, reducing transportation costs by 5 The introduction method involves using cloud software services Hsinchu Transport regularly inputs 'Interchange Item Tables' from station to station into the 'Optimized Shift Planning' service After setting the algorithm parameters, a GDP container shift schedule is generated At the same time, developing a Hsinchu Transport medical material scheduling system allows Hsinchu Transport's medical transport units to compile suitable schedules through the Interchange Item Tables Under the same level of service, it's estimated that this can reduce transportation costs by 5, saving medical material businesses millions in construction costs for GDP warehouses and distribution Due to its requirements for sanitation, temperature, and its fragility, the transportation and transshipment of medical materials should be minimized to reduce exposure and risk However, logistics efficiency and costs must still be considered AI designs the most efficient route for each cargo from its origin to destination, effectively completing daily transportation tasks In response to the future high development demand of industrial logistics, distribution and transshipment AI optimization will be a key issue Through this project, a dedicated project promotion organization will be established, staffed with AI technology, IT, and process domain talents After accumulating implementation experience, the application of AI will gradually expand, comprehensively optimizing and transforming Hsinchu Transport's operational system, and partnering with AIOT and various AI domain partners to accelerate and expand the achievement of benefits「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」
