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

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

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

Catering enterprises have adopted SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera recognition technology to construct an intelligent dining system that integrates AI machine vision recognition, automatic 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, thereby identifying dish types and quantities, and enabling automatic pricing and settlement of trays.

Going further, 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 to the user's account through a database to achieve personalised health data management.

In environments with complex lighting and cutlery reflections, the OpenMV smart camera will automatically adjust exposure and white balance to ensure recognition stability. 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 seamless 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 progressed from "automatic settlement" to an "intelligent ecosystem for dietary management", enabling AI machine vision and embedded vision technology to genuinely empower the healthy development of smart catering.
