LaneHawk BOB is a visual scanner that recognizes items without having to read the UPC code. Our solution easily integrates with any POS system, including self-checkout.

Proprietary image recognition technology sees and identifies BOB items

The UPC codes of the recognized items are sent via Ethernet to the POS and automatically added to the transaction

The cashier accepts or clears the detected items to complete the sale

A smart camera is flush-mounted in the checkout lane, continuously watching for items. When an item is detected and recognized using our patented ViPR® technology, its UPC information is sent directly through an Ethernet connection to the POS. The cashier verifies the items that were found under the basket and continues to close the transaction. The item can remain under the basket, and with LaneHawk BOB, you are assured to get paid for it.

LaneHawk BOB consists of an Intelligent Lighting and Camera Unit (iLCU), Ethernet cable, and mounting hardware for each lane. LaneHawk BOB has been ruggedly designed to work in the demanding retail checkout environment. The components mount on the inside of the lane. A LaneHawk back-office server processes grocery item images and is integrated with the store's POS controller.

LaneHawk BOB is reliable because the system is trained on the items each retailer determines it should recognize. This enables LaneHawk BOB to virtually eliminate false alarms for personal items like handbags, backpacks and umbrellas.
