Automated Store | Data Generation - Trailer

We all know that reliable data generation is critical to maintaining an effective data economy. But how do we achieve this? And what products will best align with each of our unique needs? We』ll need to create a data generation system that is accurate and repeatable while also providing the necessary sensor quality and pre-crunching data capabilities. And that is precisely what we』re going to be exploring here today.


First, let』s look at accuracy and repeatability. And for our system to be both accurate and repeatable, we』ll need to incorporate image sensors that provide high resolution with high image quality and uniformity and environmental sensors that can provide capabilities like temperature sensing across a wide array of conditions, all while maintaining a small form factor. Considering we may not even notice how often we interact with or even rely on these sensors. We would only assume that this is simple to create. Right? But there are countless systems we can create that satisfy these simple requirements. So let』s take a look at one specific use case: creating a fully automated storefront.


So what do we need to sense?
• How many customers enter the store.
• Identify items removed from shelves
• Track items placed in a cart.
• Charge people when leaving the store.


We need a camera system in the ceiling with a high enough image sensor quality to identify customers at a range of up to 40 feet, RFID sensing systems in both the shelves and storefront, and a sensing algorithm for identifying and associating the customer with the items they are purchasing.


ON Semiconductor provides the broadest portfolio of image sensors in the industry, starting with the 0.3 ARX3A0 CMOS Global Shutter Image Sensor, all the way up to the 44.7 MP XGS 45000 CMOS Global Shutter Image Sensor. For an automated storefront similar to our example, we recommend the XGS 45000.


And no matter what data-generating application you』re designing for, ON Semiconductor』s dedicated team of Field Application Engineers will work with you to create the best possible solution.
