Manual rounds
Checking price labels and product information requires repeatable rounds and takes staff time.
The project is implemented with the support of the Innovation Promotion Fund under the Student Startup programme of the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform of the Technologies federal project.
Product information control
Robot scanner for price label control
Pilot stageWe are developing an autonomous mobile robot scanner for checking price labels, barcodes, QR codes, and related product information in retail and warehouse environments.
How it works- Price labels, barcodes, and QR codes
- Retail and warehouse environments
- Project status: pilot stage
Challenge
Manual price label checks require regular rounds
Price labels, barcodes, QR codes, and other product information require regular comparison with actual shelf conditions. The project is aimed at automating recurring control rounds and preparing data for further review.
Checking labels and codes
Price labels, barcodes, and QR codes need comparison with actual shelf conditions.
Control in different environments
Retail floors and warehouse environments require routes and rules for recording visual information.
Use cases
Product information control in retail and warehouse environments
The platform is intended for repeatable routes, collecting visual information, and preparing data for subsequent review.
01
Retail floor
Checking price labels, barcodes, QR codes, and related product information on shelves.
02
Warehouse environment
Checking labelling and related visual information in storage and picking areas.
03
Pilot validation
Pilot-stage validation is planned to review how the mobile platform, navigation software, and visual module work together in conditions close to actual use.
Product

03
Preparing data for subsequent review
Functions and configuration are refined during development and pilot-stage validation. Only agreed and verified materials are published on this website.
System
Robot system: platform, navigation, and visual checks
The system under development combines a mobile platform, route-control software, and tools for preparing visual information.
A
Robotic platform
A wheeled base and modules intended to move along a route in retail and warehouse environments.
B
Navigation and route
A software layer for planning routes and the sequence of operations in a working environment.
C
Visual control
Collecting and preparing visual information about price labels, barcodes, and QR codes.
