On the 9th, Hyundai Department Store Group's affiliated comprehensive food company Hyundai Green Food announced that it provides an 'AI people counting' service that automatically measures the congestion of company cafeterias using artificial intelligence (AI) technology and allows real-time confirmation through a dedicated application (app).
AI people counting is a service that utilizes AI cameras installed at the entrance of cafeterias to assess waiting individuals in real time and informs users of congestion status through Hyundai Green Food's cafeteria information notification app 'H-Cafeteria.' The service was developed by Hyundai Futurenet, an ICT specialized company within the group.
In particular, it can simultaneously assess and inform the congestion status of business sites operating more than five corners, allowing employees of client companies to choose corners with shorter waiting lines through the app, thus reducing meal waiting times.
Hyundai Green Food is also considering adding additional features to the H-Cafeteria app, such as checking the remaining quantity by corner and notifying seat availability, utilizing AI technology.
A Hyundai Green Food official noted, "We introduced differentiated services utilizing AI to enhance the convenience of cafeteria use," adding, "We will actively incorporate AI technology not only in the catering business but also across all sectors to lead the digital transformation in the food industry."
