Automatic commodity weighing device, system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of automatic control, in particular to automatic commodity weighing equipment, system and method.
Background
At present, the commodity structure of the supermarket is that food and beverage occupy the vast majority, and the bagged snacks are taken as main materials to meet the instant demand of people. However, for fresh fruit commodities which need to be purchased by a user, the current supermarkets generally adopt the modes of manual packaging, price tag attachment and the like before the commodities are put on shelves. For example, in the case of fruit such as apples, which are relatively large in size, the labor cost is increased by selling the fruit individually or packing the products in boxes for sale. In the existing supermarket, the RFID (radio frequency identification technology) technology is mostly adopted as a commodity identification and settlement form, each commodity/box needs to be attached with an electronic tag, and the packing cost of the commodity is correspondingly increased.
Particularly, for some small and scattered commodities such as preserved plums, preserved fruits, bulk chocolate, jelly and the like which need to be purchased twice, it is not suitable to attach an electronic tag to each commodity from the aspects of cost and implementation. At present, the supermarket is inconvenient for selling scattered commodities.
