Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does a vision locker bill customers?
A: Cameras capture what is taken or returned, the NPU recognises the items, and the user's linked payment method is charged for the difference - no barcode scanning per item.
Q: Why combine cameras with weight sensors?
A: Weight shelves cross-check the vision result, catching occluded or identical-looking items and pushing recognition accuracy above 99% in typical assortments.
Q: Which platform do I need - 1 TOPS or 6 TOPS?
A: 1 TOPS on RK3568 handles standard shelf assortments; dense mixed-product cabinets and multi-camera builds benefit from the RK3588 6 TOPS upgrade. We benchmark your product mix on request.
Q: Can the models be retrained for new products?
A: Yes. We supply the training pipeline, or retrain models against your catalogue photos as an ODM service.
Q: What analytics does the board report?
A: Stock levels per cell, take/return event streams, peak-hour heat maps and shrinkage alerts - everything operators need to plan restocking.
