AI Produce-Recognition Systems

Pixevia's AI Technology Recognizes Perishable Produce

— May 17, 2021 — Tech
A European grocery store has successfully implemented Pixevia's AI Technology, making it the first of its kind to hit European grocery store markets. Some in-store technology trends like biometric checkout and scan-and-go systems have accelerated in retail popularity since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This cutting-edge AI system distinguishes fresh produce like fruits and vegetables and evaluates product freshness.

Pixevia eliminates the need to scan each perishable item individually and minimizes customer contacts. As it continuously monitors product freshness, the dynamic pricing algorithm alerts the store manager when a product is approaching its expiration date or showing any signs of staleness. The AI-based system successfully recognizes fruits, salads, baker goods, meat, and dairy products to ensures that consumers are sold the freshest produce.
