A new species, from raise in boudoir nobody ask, become famous to in one day the world knows, used the time of a few months only. So strange thing, happening on body of unmanned and convenience inn. Recently, unmanned and convenience inn became investment to encircle the hottest circuit, the brand of 78 unmanned and convenience store such as Bin fruit box rises to surface early or late, the heat that causes the outside is discussed. One of controversy of core, it is a technology.
Unmanned inn technology is very arrogant really
Walk in bonus of convenience inn times, and have the aid of is new retail below this more grand times big trend, be based on below the line many setting more convenience and demand, contented, pass the unmanned inn that technology of relatively mature already wireless radio frequency is born, angle of the person that stand in traditional retail trade, this pure line issues species, accord with the great majority expectation of transition of traditional retail trade.
Use Internet technology namely, transform pattern of condition of original course of study, inn of lever gear door serves efficiency, reduce cost expenditure, buy client discharge enters the mouth before, rise buy lead and answer buy rate. The key is, can duplicate the gender is strong, accord with set up shop of traditional retail trade to extend those who grab territory under one's control to manage inertial.
We see the development course of unmanned inn first:
One, in December 2016, yamaxun opened business in Xiyatu a revolutionary line leaves convenience store -- Amazon Go. Amazon Go abandoned thoroughly the process of settle accounts receiving silver of traditional supermarket, clients need to carrying shopping basket to await settle accounts no longer, need to take the thing that you mean only, walk out of a shop next, from now on, unmanned inn goes into everybody slowly eye shot.
2, went up in mass rally of sesame seed credit in Feburary 2017, ability of close the orchid family hand in hand the Takego that sesame seed credence rolled out them to study more than two years in home unmanned inn system, the client needs to sweep a hand to take the door only, took go. A retail storm is raised in home, accomplished a lot of person that follow likewise.
3, at the beginning of June 2017, the large supermarket such as hair of Ou Shang, big profit begins to try mode of unmanned inn of box of BingBox Bin fruit in succession, the client sweeps a code to take the door, took a thing to be put on the counter, sweep the junior travel that piles up 5 commodity to pay every time, the door can be opened, the client can take commodity to leave.
4, on June 25, 2017, shanghai " artificial intelligence change is retail " exceed the peak of 500 people to be able to go up, sponsor ability of square close the orchid family to combine ant gold to take, pay treasure, ying Weida released 3 TakeGo unmanned inn technology, shanghai TV station, the first finance and economics, sina, tecent, sohu, end the media such as extensive network traces a story in succession, so far domestic retail trade also entered rising state commonly as driving the boiling water of boiler to the attention of unmanned inn, dig keyword discovery, a few seconds of press of an unmanned inn last a week still is continueing more.
5, recently, the be in harmony of 30 million yuan of A+ annulus that innovation workshop announces to finish pair of F5 future shops, this is a mechanical arm that relies on own research and development and tiring-room management system come compose builds 24 hours of unmanned values to guard convenience store. Before this, f5 ever obtained achieve big sth used to one's own advantage 2 million yuan angel annulus financing, and TCL achieves 10 million yuan of Pre-A that cast annulus financing. After the financing that finish, f5 plans to be in 3-6 a 30-50 door store opens inside the month.
So the unmanned inn of domestic so much, what core technology to use?
The main base technology of this kind of unmanned inn that sends with Ou Shang, big profit is RFID technology, data analysis implementation wins online on the business of new retail report that combines below the line develops shopping system technological process main component is 5 paces:
1, the fact that sweep a code renown attestation opens the door enter;
2, choose goods;
3, put goods scanning response division;
4, shift pays settle accounts;
5, open the door leave (if did not pay, the door will maintain shut condition) .
At present the common unmanned inn on home market one mainstream is these two kinds, one kind is RFID technology unmanned inn, one kind is machine vision technology unmanned inn, still have partial automat combination.
What is RFID technology after all?
Radio frequency identifying, technology of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) , say wireless radio frequency identifies again, it is technology of a kind of communication, can identify specific target through radio question mark and read keep relevant data, and need not identify machinery or optical contact are established between system and specific target. RFID technology is the earliest traceable England, application discerns in the Second World War enemy portion of my flying airframe, 60 time begin 20 centuries business is used. RFID technology is a kind identify a technology automatically, hind be controlled at identity document, entrance guard by wide application, supply catenary and inventory to dog, the car collects fees, the respect such as control of guard against theft, birth, asset management. This technology uses in the retail trade enterprise such as Walmart, Metro hind, the development of RFID technology also entered golden age!
Avoid identify (the identity) mode is to show the user need not undertake identity identifying can undertake commodity shop. General this kind of unmanned inn can set entrance guard system, consumer passes physical switch to be able to enter store directly inside, after consumer is entered, entrance guard is locked up automatically dead, consumer is in shop finish and after paying a success, entrance guard square but new open. (Commodity all deserves to have RFID ticket, form sheet of corresponding electron Zhang)
A standard-sized sheet puts pattern, it is to show the user can come in and go out freely inside inn, can choose goods freely, commodity contains RFID and 2 dimension code to pay tag, consumer is choosing goods and sweep a code to finish store can give after paying. But be like half-baked when pay and giving store, entrance guard system can detect automatically and call the police. A standard-sized sheet of RFID puts the advantage of mode to depend on, can solve problem of much dot shopping settle accounts, at the same time door inn is transformed can accuse relatively.
The advantage of RFID depends on, can solve problem of much dot shopping settle accounts, at the same time door inn is transformed can accuse relatively. Defect is RFID congenital problem, identify to metal and liquid bad, fall off easily, another it is cost taller, allegedly label of a RFID needs 0.5~1 yuan differ.
Because this is current if the unmanned inn of technology of this kind of RFID is united in wedlock 3 in if RFID mode tries to provide a few service personnel again, suit convenience inn, supermarket to form the new pattern that somebody, unmanned union uses more, can reduce a few labour cost namely, but accomplishing devoid person to change is not best choice.
See from the outside and the inside above, amazon Go and TakeGo use the technology such as machine vision.
What is machine vision?
Machine vision is a branch that artificial intelligence is developing quickly. Say simply, machine vision replaces person eye to do with the machine namely measure and judge. Machine vision system is to carry machine vision product (namely image absorbs unit, cent CMOS and CCD two kinds) change the end that be absorbed into picture signal, convey appropriative image processing system, get the configuration information of the target that be photographed, wait for information with brightness, color according to distributinging like element, change becomes digitlization signal; Image system undertakes to these signal all sorts of operation come the feature of draw-out target, dominate the equipment action of the spot then according to the result of differentiate.
The difficult point that understands visual identifying technology depends on unique algorithm, the company that matures quite at present outside the algorithm besides the foundation, auxiliary still introduced other black science and technology, pay close attention to commodity itself not only, also undertake an analysis to other and associated information at the same time, if to consumer the action that buying gives,pay close attention to, synchronism undertakes posture is calculated, very old rate promoted identified semen to be spent definitely.
All unmanned technologies still are built go up in immature foundation, should try to pay close attention to ability to cause at the same time a series of development, very old rate has been a kind of progress, but still have a paragraph of leg from development, need society is not a regulations that the masses accepts, likeness is spent too tall, a purpose before cannot be being achieved, the technology that should combine abroad tries to develop again. Make more heart benefit follower, no longer confine and retail primary level, category needs to increase, promotion identifying is spent, achieve the final result of gain.
