Intelligent vending cabinet: a new way for unmanned new retail industry

The Internet economy is just a gust of wind, and it may be in which area it will burn. In the past two years, the sharing economy has been on fire, ranging from shared umbrellas, shared power banks, shared shelves, to shared bicycles, shared cars, and other shared products or services. The touchstone of the quality of residents, that is the fact! Due to the lack of risk control and supervision, most of these sharing economies ended in failure! Take shared shelves as an example. The loss rate of goods is very high, and businesses suffer heavy losses. This is still in the case of semi-enclosed places such as office buildings. If it is in a public place, it is estimated that it may cause looting! The low-cost shared shelf has failed, and the cost of traditional unmanned vending machines is so high. How to develop new retail is a problem that many practitioners in the retail industry worry about. In this case, a new type of unmanned self-service vending equipment was born, that is, smart vending cabinets. The work flow is very simple. Customers open the door by scanning the code or swiping their face to verify the product. After the product is taken, the smart vending cabinet automatically judges which products the customer has taken and automatically settles. The biggest technical focus is how the machine judges which products the customer has taken. There are mainly three technical methods as follows: 1. The heavy judgment of the high-precision electronic scale. This is also a relatively primitive and clumsy method, simple and rude, suitable for selling different products with different weights or the same product with the same weight. The disadvantage is that the cost of electronic scales is relatively high, and different commodities of the same weight are difficult to judge, and there are certain limitations. 2. RFID electronic tag identification. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the abbreviation of Radio Frequency Identification. Its principle is to carry out non-contact data communication between the reader and the tag to achieve the purpose of identifying the target. In this way, the corresponding RFID electronic tag is pasted on each product, and when the product passes through the door of the smart vending cabinet, the information of the product will be recognized by the reader above, so as to know which products the customer has taken and conduct accurate settlement. The advantage of this method is that you can sell any product without being restricted by weight and packaging shape. The disadvantage is that you need to attach a corresponding RFID electronic tag to each product. The cost of the tag alone is about 0.1 yuan, which is more. Will consume a lot of manpower and material resources! 3. Visual recognition. The principle of this method is the same as that of face recognition, but this time it is the product that is recognized instead of the face. The camera is used to model a product in a three-dimensional all-round 360-degree photography, and retain the visual information of the product from all angles to the back-end product library. After the customer takes the goods from the smart vending cabinet, the back-end system will check the visual information before and after, so as to determine which goods the customer has taken and automatically settle the settlement. The advantage of this method is high recognition rate and low machine hardware cost. It is much more advanced than the above two methods, and will become the mainstream recognition method for smart vending cabinets. Compared with unmanned vending machines, smart vending cabinets have a simpler structure. There is no complicated shipping mechanism and there is no possibility of cargo jams. This greatly reduces the labor cost of handling non-shipment and improves the customer's shopping experience. The smart vending cabinet has a certain risk control and supervision mechanism, and the camera can also keep the customer's operation record. The security is still very high. It is suitable for placing in various places where people are guarded and unattended in the early stage. This will mean that there will be no one in the next few years. Trends in retail development.
