The visioncheckout from auvisus has gone into operation in the canteen of the Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe at Campus South. After auvisus launched their now multiple award-winning product in 2020, they could now celebrate the next success. The visioncheckout will, after a successful pilot phase with a recognition accuracy of over 99%, become a permanent part of the Mensa.
Using AI-based image recognition, the visioncheckout’s camera captures the guests’ tray, recognizes all items and books them directly into the cash register. This efficient checkout process shortens queues, while staff can better attend to guests and food preparation.
The startup at KIT is not like any other for the founders of auvisus. This is where the idea for the visioncheckout was born, where the first plans were made during lunch, and where they can now, for the first time, enjoy paying for their food themselves at thes e standing cash register.
“Coming back to your “own” cafeteria with your own product gives you an enormous boost of motivation,” says co-founder Felix Schweikardt.
