1. Introduction: A New Era in Retail – Scales with VISION-AI
Technology is rapidly changing the face of retail in Uzbekistan. One of the most striking examples of automation is the VISION-AI video recognition system for weighed goods, implemented in MERTECH scales. This innovative solution helps stores speed up customer service, minimize personnel errors, and improve inventory accuracy.
MERTECH is a manufacturer of retail equipment certified for official use in Uzbekistan. Our scales with VISION-AI are already in operation in retail outlets across the country, helping store owners save resources and increase profits.
Automatic scales with product recognition are more than just smart equipment. They are your tool for creating a modern, efficient, and customer-focused store.
2. How VISION-AI technology works: a simple explanation of the complex
The VISION-AI system uses a camera and computer vision algorithms to analyze the image of a product placed on the weighing platform. Artificial intelligence instantly compares the product's appearance with a trained database and suggests the most suitable options. This solution is ideal for vegetables, fruits, nuts, candies, dried fruits, and other weighed products.
Even if a product is partially covered by packaging or the customer's hand, the system can correctly identify it with up to 99% accuracy. This reliability is achieved through continuous neural network training—each weighing makes the algorithm even smarter.
Recognition occurs in a split second: the customer or cashier selects the desired item from the list, and the system remembers the choice and takes it into account the next time a similar situation occurs.
Then the scales automatically transmit the information to the POS system or print a barcode label. This process completely eliminates errors associated with entering incorrect codes, speeds up service, and eliminates misplaced items.
3. What problems do VISION-AI scales solve in retail?
Smart scales with VISION-AI technology are designed to solve common problems faced daily by stores in Uzbekistan.
Problem #1: Long lines for packaging
In self-service stores, customers often waste time searching for products in the scale catalog. This slows down customer flow and reduces customer loyalty. The VISION-AI system identifies products on the scale in a fraction of a second, increasing the store's throughput to 17,000 people per year.
Problem #2: Slow Cashiers
Employee turnover, forgotten PLU codes, and weighing errors slow down checkout processes. The M-ER 828 series smart scales help newcomers quickly get up to speed and help experienced cashiers maintain momentum. Recognition occurs automatically, saving up to 1,500 work hours per year.
Problem #3: Incomplete Product Selection and Losses
Errors in manual product selection lead to incorrect inventory counts. Customers may intentionally weigh more expensive items as if they were cheaper. VISION-AI identifies products with 99% accuracy, eliminating the risk of loss and fraud.
Thanks to intelligent weighing equipment, retailers increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the customer experience without overpaying.
4. How MERTECH scales with VISION-AI work
MERTECH scales with VISION-AI use computer vision and neural network technologies to instantly recognize products on the platform.
Artificial Intelligence
Recognition algorithms are trained on thousands of images. They reliably identify vegetables, fruits, nuts, dried fruits, and confectionery products—even if the product is partially closed or in transparent packaging. The scale operates reliably even in challenging lighting conditions.
Learning by doing
Each new weighing makes the system more accurate. The user selects the desired product from the available options, and the system remembers this choice—this is self-learning in real time.
The user chooses—the scale remembers
After analyzing the image, the scale displays a list of suitable products. The user selects the desired product, and the neural network refines its model. Recognition accuracy approaches 99% every day.
VISION-AI technology turns the scale into an assistant, not just a weighing device. It improves accuracy, speeds up service, and minimizes human error.
5. Advantages of VISION-AI Models
Integrating VISION-AI technology into MERTECH scales offers businesses tangible advantages in retail. Here are some of the key benefits:
Speedier Service
The system instantly recognizes products, eliminating the need to search for items manually. This is especially important during peak hours, when every second impacts the overall store speed.
Fewer Errors and Restocking
The human factor is eliminated. The scales automatically "recognize" the product, reducing the risk of code selection errors. This reduces the risk of shortages or surpluses during inventory.
Simple Staff Training
Cashiers and salespeople don't need to memorize PLU codes. You can learn how to use a smart scale in just 5 minutes, which is especially useful when staff turnover is frequent.
Increased customer loyalty
Shorter queues, accuracy, and speed improve the customer experience. Customers are comfortable and return to the store more often.
Compatibility with inventory management systems
The product catalog is easily loaded from 1C or other inventory management systems. Weighing information is transmitted directly to the POS system or cash register software.
Important: MERTECH scales with VISION-AI are officially certified for use in Uzbekistan. They fully comply with legal requirements and are suitable for stores of all formats.
6. VISION-AI scale models in the MERTECH catalog
MERTECH offers three serial solutions equipped with the VISION-AI video product recognition system. All models are fully adapted to the needs of retail in Uzbekistan and are certified for official use.
M-ER 725 — for self-service
