CATAPULT® AI-Assisted Produce Recognition
Eliminate Thousands of Keystrokes During Every Shift.
Move produce checkout from memorization to recognition.
Key Features At–A–Glance
Take the Work Out of Produce Checkout
Produce identification can create added work at checkout. Cashiers memorize PLUs or manually enter item codes. At the self-checkout, shoppers are left searching through unfamiliar produce menus. Across a shift, those repeated steps add up to thousands of unnecessary keystrokes, slower transactions, slower lanes, and avoidable frustration.
Three Steps. One Keystroke.
For the Cashier
The Fastest Keystroke is the One They Never Have to Make
Vision Match reduces repetitive produce entry by identifying items at the scale and presenting the most likely matches. With less time spent searching for items or memorizing PLUs, cashiers can stay focused on the customer and keep the lane moving.
For the Shopper
The Fastest Produce Lookup Is the One They Never Have to Make
No searching through categories. No scrolling through produce menus. No memorizing PLUs. Vision Match presents the most likely matches, allowing shoppers to quickly confirm their selection and keep checkout moving.
At the Scale
Weighing and Labeling Made Even Faster
Vision Match makes it easier than ever to weigh, label, and pre-price items with AutoScale Max™. Whether it's a self-service or attended scale, Vision Match saves keystrokes and tedious produce look-ups when weighing and pricing items.

What Retailers Should Know About Vision Match Produce Recognition
Q: How does Vision Match simplify produce checkout?
A: Vision Match recognizes produce and presents likely matches for confirmation, reducing PLU memorization, manual entry, and produce-menu searching. The technology can eliminate thousands of keystrokes during each shift.
Q: How does Vision Match improve the self-checkout experience?
A: Vision Match reduces the need for shoppers to search through produce menus or identify PLU codes themselves. Instead, it presents likely matches for confirmation, simplifying one of the more manual and uncertain parts of self-checkout.
Q: Can Vision Match identify produce through a produce bag?
A: Yes. Vision Match can recognize many produce items through produce bags. This helps the technology fit naturally into how customers already shop and how produce reaches checkout.
Q: Does Vision Match require a cloud connection to recognize produce?
A: No. Vision Match can operate offline and is not reliant on the cloud for its core produce-recognition functionality.
Q: Does Vision Match integrate with the POS?
A: Yes. Vision Match is embedded within CATAPULT and connects recognition with the retailer's existing produce items and PLU structure.
Q: Where can retailers use Vision Match?
A: Vision Match supports traditional POS checkout lanes, QuickCheck self-checkout lanes, and AutoScale Max workflows.
Q: Does adding produce recognition require retailers to replace existing checkout hardware?
A: Not necessarily. Vision Match supports compatible camera-equipped scanner scales, and retrofit options are available for qualifying existing hardware.
Q: Is AI-powered produce recognition affordable for independent and regional retailers?
A: Yes. Affordability was a key consideration in the development of Vision Match. ECRS designed the technology to make embedded produce recognition accessible to more retailers without requiring a costly standalone recognition platform.
