EYECAN-STAFF: Expanding what staff can do, through three core functions

EYECAN-STAFF core function 1: EYE-Navi (AR guidance)

Automatically adapts the interface: for experienced staff, the system shows only the destination instead of the route arrows.

EYE-Navi
High-precision indoor positioning
Utilizes VPS and LiDAR technology to accurately locate staff mobile devices within the store with centimeter-level precision.
AR routes drawn into real space
Based on the "optimal route" analyzed by the ROBO-HI OS, the application projects AR directional arrows directly onto the floor via the staff member's phone screen.
Navigation with a "human control" mechanism
Guides human movement with precise instructions similar to robot control "turn right at the next corner and check the shelf 3m along."

EYECAN-STAFF core function 2: EYE-Scan (continuous and fixed monitoring)

Uses smartphones as "mobile security cameras and scanners" to continuously digitize in-store environmental data.

Can be flexibly integrated with EYE-Scan for stores already equipped with camera systems.

Passive Mode: Automatically detects floor stains and anomalies in the background
Passive Monitoring
While the app is running, the smartphone camera always captures the floor area as staff move around. Liquid spills, suspicious objects, and congestion are automatically detected and recorded simply through daily work activities.
Active: hold the phone up and photograph the shelf (OCR for out-of-stocks and expiry dates)
Active Monitoring
When you scan the shelf at the designated location, AI compares it with the Planogram data. The system automatically detects "out-of-stock spaces" and adds them to the order list, quickly reads package expiration dates via OCR, and immediately highlights items that are near or past expiration.

EYECAN Staff core function 3: EYE-Action (AR work guidance + emotional expression)

When an issue is detected, the system intuitively guides staff on "what to do now (CAN)" using AR and engaging emotional expressions.

Game-like UX (Stain Heat Map)
Heatmap
The "stain heat map" remains on screen until the cleaning area is completely clean. The map fades and disappears as the area is wiped clean, providing a work experience that feels like clearing challenges in a game.
Displays a virtual box (Virtual Box)
Virtual Box
At out-of-stock locations, the system projects an AR virtual box marking "where products should be placed" , minimizing restocking errors.
Emotional Interaction Interface (Emotion Interface)
Emotional Interface
For high-priority items approaching expiration, AI selects an emotional expression (e.g., teary eyes or crying) based on the "urgency of disposal." Through AR, the app instructs staff to issue and apply a "tear sticker" to the product. This naturally evokes customer empathy and encourages eco-friendly consumption to reduce food waste.

Cutting food waste through an emotional UI

Food Waste Reduction Mechanism

The result: digital data that speaks to customers' feelings, and a real reduction in food waste

Use Case: AI Automated Discounting with environmental factor analysis

AI Automatic Discount

① System instruction: Requires staff to perform expiration date checks at designated shelf areas. To prevent missed items, the system temporarily locks subsequent processes until scanning is complete.

② AI analysis: Simultaneously analyzes actual inventory status and external environmental factors (weather, temperature, and trading hours).

③ Optimal Discount Calculation: Automatically sets a 20% discount (higher than usual) to stimulate demand and offset reduced customer traffic due to rainy weather.

④ Zero-Effort Printing: The print command is automatically sent to a Bluetooth-connected handheld printer. On-site staff only need to apply the label, completely eliminating manual data entry.

⑤ Incentive Mechanism: As soon as the task is confirmed to be completed correctly, the system automatically adds 3 points to the staff member's personal account.

Task bundling and gamification: turning complicated work into a "game"

Gamification

HR evaluation built straight in: less supervisor patrolling, a real "quality assurance loop"

Personnel Evaluation
Priority Task Assignment (Dynamic Routing):
  • When the AI camera detects congestion at the checkout counter, the system immediately issues a route change instruction to Staff Member A's smartphone (who is currently restocking): "Temporarily stop patrol and support the checkout area." At the same time, the system automatically records special bonuses or points for staff who respond during peak hours.
Quality Assurance through Double-Check
  • Staff Member A reports the "stain" issue and updates the cleaning completion status in the system.
  • When Staff Member B passes through the nearby area, the app automatically issues a navigation instruction to their device.
  • Staff Member B is asked to "take a quality-check photo." AI compares the image data to provide an objective completion judgment, independent of personal judgment.
Thorough management that eliminates personal bias. The scores of "diligent staff" who do high-quality work accumulate and directly lead to skill badges and wage increases. Significantly reduces massive training and management costs.

ROBO-HI OS: managing people and robots together — a "multi-agent command centre"

ROBO-HI OS

In time, ROBO-HI OS will judge the difficulty and nature of each task on its own and assign it automatically to whichever worker — person or robot — is best suited.

What hybrid operation will look like

Hybrid Operation

Rather than jumping straight to full automation, evolve step by step while staying profitable.

The road ahead: evolving step by step

This is not about buying expensive robots and automating overnight. It is a business strategy that secures the gains one step at a time.

Evolution Strategy

Three benefits

1. Outstanding ROI, felt immediately

No major hardware investment required. With the smartphones and apps you already have, you expand capability across every site at once — effectively building a sensor network.

2. Complete standardization of task quality and motivation improvement

Eliminates personal dependence through AI-optimized guidance and AR navigation. Improves staff retention rates while reducing training costs, combining a point system that directly links to income.

3. Establishing the future store operation model (AOS)

Starting to build the solid foundation for the "next-generation store OS" today, creating a seamless operating environment where humans and diverse robots work together.

Solution

The ROBO-HI solution

Digitizes and optimizes store operations by synchronizing inventory management with shelf plans (Planograms) and AI-powered expiration date control. By replacing complex manual checks with the system, the workload on staff is minimized.

Seamlessly deploys without disrupting your existing store layout or operational workflows. The solution empowers staff to focus on high-value tasks—such as customer engagement and merchandising—directly boosting overall store profitability.
