Introducing BakeryScan: A Revolution in Bakery Self-Checkout Technology for Stores

BakeryScan: The Future of Bakery Shop Checkout

As the demand for efficiency and convenience in retail continues to grow, Brain Inc. has unveiled its latest innovation aimed at bakery shops—a full self-service AI checkout system named BakeryScan. Set to debut at RetailTech Japan 2026, this advanced solution promises to simplify operations and enhance customer experience.

Addressing Common Challenges

Bakery shops often face unique challenges due to the diverse range of products they offer. These include the following:

- High Labor Costs: Rising prices and labor expenses put significant pressure on bakery operations.
- Training of New Employees: New staff often require 2 to 3 months to learn product names and prices, raising training costs.
- Long Queues: Slow checkouts can lead to long lines, causing potential customers to abandon their purchases, thus losing sales opportunities.
- Limited Focus on Core Tasks: Staff often find themselves preoccupied with the POS system, diverting attention from baking and customer service, activities that should receive priority.

Key Features of BakeryScan

1. Seamless Product Registration
With the BakeryScan system, customers can effortlessly register products. Simply placing their selections on a tray allows the AI to automatically recognize and register the items without any manual input required. This innovation leads to a fast and user-friendly checkout experience.

2. Enhanced Image Recognition AI
The new and improved BakeryScan system features advanced AI that can identify individual bread products despite their varying sizes, shapes, and even when they are grouped closely together on a tray. This upgraded system ensures that each type of bread is accurately recognized, even if they are stacked or oddly shaped.

3. Compatibility with Existing Trays
Gone are the days of needing specialized trays for AI recognition. The new BakeryScan can accurately assess products placed on standard trays, addressing customer demands for flexibility and compatibility.

4. Comprehensive Support System
To ensure that users enjoy a seamless experience, Brain Inc. has ramped up its support infrastructure. With service points available in over 120 locations nationwide, customers can expect exceptional assistance from installation through operational use.
