Docomo said that this AI system can recognize products on shelves without special arrangements or even when they are stacked together. Previously, shelf analysis technology required products to be placed in the front row and forward to ensure identification with higher accuracy. This new change means that almost any product possible in the database is identified by the AI.

The operator expects this AI system to be widely used in the distribution and retail industry to manage products and manage sales. Specifically, companies will use the system to check inventory faster.

Docomo said it intends to partner with many different companies to use this system to improve its sales and inventory management capabilities.

Japanese cloud company Cyberlinks is the first company to adopt an AI system with an application that allows devices including smartphones to be used to quickly analyze store shelves and create Data needed to create a graph, an image representing the product in a store.
