"Borlas" automates the quality check of goods in the supermarket chain "Verny"

2022: Automation of goods quality check

On June 6, 2022, the Borlas group announced the completion of a pilot project to automate the process of checking agricultural products in the acceptance zones of regional warehouses of the Verny supermarket retail chain.

The retail chain headed for an increase in the share of fresh fruit and vegetable products in the range offered. The key task in this process is to check the quality of the goods received from suppliers.

Verny already has over 1100 retail outlets and regional warehouses, and the network is constantly growing. The geographical location of the facilities is such that it became more and more difficult to provide detailed operational control over the work of personnel at each point.

As part of the project, the Borlas team created a system for monitoring and documenting the acceptance of fruits and vegetables for the Vernoy retail chain and implemented it in a pilot mode. Equipment was installed at several regional warehouses of the Customer, which made it possible to connect the expert group of the Central Office with direct contractors on the ground. The system built on distributed servers allows you to ensure event recording, stable transmission and long-term storage of data, video and audio communication with the operator's AWS, which is constantly located on the territory of the central office in Moscow. In addition, the system allows you to form a documentary evidence base in case of violation of delivery conditions and issue complaints to suppliers of low-quality products.

Upon completion of the first phase of the project, the customer received:

• systematic and centralized quality control of the obtained products;
• improving performance while reducing time and requirements for local personnel

After analyzing the results obtained in the framework of the pilot, the Customer and the Borlas Group are negotiating further replication to the regional warehouses of FROV.

"We consider it a priority to respect the interests of buyers and are betting on the sale of fresh and healthy products. Inspection of goods arriving at the warehouse is carried out using special devices for 10 indicators. The system automates the control process and helps employees of our retail network to prevent acceptance of food of improper quality containing harmful and hazardous substances, " told Sergey Pashchenko, Director of the Directorate of Information Technologies of the Verny Network

"We have been able to help with the supermarket chain, which focuses on affordable consumer consumer products. Product quality control is a routine but important task that should be automated and understandable for the user, " noted Maxim Tarasyuk, Director of the Department of Digital and Engineering Systems of the Borlas Group
