Once the system scans the items in the tray, a green outline indicates that the items have been correctly identified. A yellow outline is displayed if the item is not scanned properly, following which, the person at the cash register can manually enter the item name.
The system can also tally the balance, which can improve the overall efficiency, especially when there is a long queue in the store.
While the system can currently identify baked goods and sandwiches, it can be modified further to identify other food items.
Brain Corporation has initiated a trial of the system at a bakery in iTerrace mall, Tokyo, which will last until 28 July.
