Impacts of digital-technology adoption on workers: A simple model and evidence from China

This paper examines the impact of point-of-sale (POS) adoption on training to investigate firms' requirements of employees. We construct a two-sector general model and find that the adoption of technology drives firms to increase training activities and decrease their labor-income share. Based on the data of 2451 firms from China's Small and Micro-sized Enterprises Survey in 2015 with an instrumental variable approach, we document that a one year increase in POS use increases the likelihood of firm training by 18.5–32.6%. In addition, the added training results from the demand for professional competence rather than simple needs for operating the POS system. Correspondingly, POS service intensifies the polarization of internal wages and worsens workers' welfare. The plausible underlying mechanisms for this are technology use, financial constraints, and operational efficiency.

Development of a POS System with Computer Vision for Automated Retail Checkout

A Point-of-Sale (POS) is a computerized system of hardware and software utilized by businesses to complete sales transactions. In conventional POS setups, cashiers manually scan individual product barcodes, before processing the totals. This manual procedure is laborious and often leads to long queues and waiting times, especially during peak hours, ultimately affecting customer experience and retention. This work seeks to automate the product scanning procedure with a computer vision approach, thereby expediting the sales process. An efficient YOLOv4 object detection model was trained on a custom dataset of common products found in Malaysian retail stores. 550 images were initially acquired and split 80:20 into training and validation groups; further augmentation tripled the size of the training group to 1,320 images. Training was conducted for 10,000 epochs, at 0.0013 learning rate. During training, the model achieved 99.19% mAP, 87.42% average IoU, and a 0.40 average loss. Subsequently, the model was deployed on a low-power single-board computer running a transaction notification program. To evaluate its performance, 10 instances of shopping carts with random product combinations were processed using the system. The system autonomously identified and quantified all products through its video feed, generating itemized bills in real-time. Fixed with a 0.9 confidence threshold, the system yielded a 98% average accuracy across all object classes. On average, transactions, from product detection to delivering the itemized bill to the system administrator, were processed in just 14 seconds. This POS system holds potential for integration with unmanned stores, offering a seamless shopping experience.

Point of Sale System Using Convolutional Neural Network for Image Recognition in Grocery Store

The history of point of sale already has been told from a long time ago. The business nowadays is opting for the point-of-sale transactions because it was easy to sell the item to people face to face. This will build some trust between the cashier and the customer. The popular store that always customer need was the grocery store. However, the grocery store nowadays still not has a good feature for the point-of-sale system. The cashier still needs to scan the item through barcode scanner. This idea was led to make the point-of-sale transactions easier in the grocery store by applying the machine learning to the system. The problem for this project is the customer wait for a long time for their point-of-sale transactions to finish when bought the grocery items. The aim of this project is to detect the grocery items with convolutional neural network model for image recognition through camera within the main user interface. The Agile Development Life Cycle (ADLC) method is used in the development of Point-of-Sale System using Machine Learning for Image Recognition in Grocery Store. Moreover, this project is to evaluate the usability of the system using Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) approach. The PSSUQ evaluation is evaluated by the users of the system. The results of PSSUQ stated that the users satisfied with the system. The future research for this project is to make the point-of-sale system with a better model in the future. In conclusion, the system is works well and machine learning image recognition model also can detect the grocery item clearly.

Analyzing Grocery Items Inventory and Managing Stock

Perancangan Sistem Informasi Point of Sale Berbasis Website pada Toko Azam Grosir dengan Metode Waterfall

The sales process at the Azam Wholesale Store is still done conventionally with manual recording. The manual recording system is less efficient because it requires a lot of books and orders that must be recorded into the books manually. This condition also causes errors in entering/recording sales data. Making reports takes a long time because they have to find and collect the necessary data from the notes in the book. In this study, we proposed to develop a POS (Point of Sale) application to solve existing problems so that store work activities can run smoothly. The method used in this POS system is the Waterfall method. The Waterfall method is a method used to develop software sequentially (such as a waterfall) that goes through several stages, namely planning, design, implementation, and testing. The application developed shows that the Point of Sale (POS) system can facilitate Toko Azam Grosir in recording, calculating, making documents and sales information to manage and recapitulate sales reports.
