Beyond Automated Billing, Understanding Health Management: SingTown Technology Assists in Building Smart Dining Systems

In modern dining scenarios, manual settlement methods are inefficient, particularly during peak hours in university cafeterias, corporate dining halls, and hospital restaurants, where they often lead to queuing congestion and settlement errors. To achieve rapid settlement and intelligent management, the catering industry urgently needs to adopt automated tray recognition technology based on machine vision and AI image recognition.

SingTown Technology's automated tray settlement system, built upon the OpenMV smart camera, utilises AI image recognition visual algorithms to achieve meal identification, amount calculation, and settlement linkage. This assists catering enterprises in enhancing operational efficiency and customer experience.

Catering enterprises have adopted SingTown's OpenMV intelligent camera recognition technology to construct a smart dining system that integrates AI machine vision recognition, automated settlement, and nutritional monitoring.

The system installs an OpenMV intelligent camera above the tray channel to capture tray images in real time. Using AI image recognition and visual algorithms, it comprehensively analyses colour, shape, and texture features through a deep learning model to identify dish types and quantities, enabling automatic pricing and settlement of trays.

Furthermore, the system can automatically calculate the nutritional intake information for each meal (such as energy, protein, fat, vitamin content, etc.) based on the recognition results, and link it with the user's account through a database to achieve personalised health data management.

In environments with complex lighting and reflections from utensils, the OpenMV smart camera will automatically adjust exposure and white balance to ensure stable recognition. Its embedded edge-side AI computing capability enables recognition and settlement to be completed locally, with a response time of less than one second, ensuring smooth operation during peak hours.

Leveraging SingTown's software and hardware platform, this system offers flexible edge deployment capabilities, enabling rapid and straightforward integration with various scenarios such as restaurant point-of-sale systems, membership apps, and health management platforms. It meets diverse intelligent needs, including unmanned checkout, nutrition tracking, and data analysis.

Through SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera AI image recognition technology, the catering industry has successfully advanced from "automatic settlement" to an "intelligent ecosystem for dietary management," enabling AI machine vision and embedded vision technologies to genuinely empower the healthy development of smart catering.
