AI-Powered Produce Recognition

One reason people often skip the self-checkout in favor of a cashier is to avoid the hassle of punching in codes for produce items, which can be harder to scan and slow down the process, but EDEKA Beckesepp employs Smart Vision technology from Diebold Nixdorf for automated fruit and vegetable recognition. A new EDEKA Beckesepp store in Waltershofen, Germany, integrates Vynamic Smart VisionFresh Produce Recognition, making it easier for customers to weigh their items and go, while also reducing employee assistance required at the self-service checkouts. Paired with advanced algorithms, this technology relies on a camera placed atop the scale for weighing items or bundles.

In addition to being useful for streamlining the self-checkout process for fruits and vegetables, Diebold Nixdorf's Smart Vision technology supports age verification.
