Four wet markets in Changning have been upgraded to better serve the people with smart services.

Three of the four are outlets of Meitian (Beautiful Day) and the other is Wojia (My Home). At the wet markets, each stall is equipped with a smart “AI” scale that can automatically identify and weigh fruits, vegetables and other groceries, making it convenient and fast. 

The digital screen on the scale can display product prices and various license information of the stall to customers in a clear and concise manner. 

The shopping receipt has an exclusive QR code, which can be scanned to check the traceability information, providing protection for food safety.

In addition to displaying real-time transaction status, pesticide residue detection, on-site traffic and other information, the smart screen of the wet market has also been upgraded to add consumer interactive evaluation function. 

“Residents can scan the code to rate the business operators, and the ranking here is clear at a glance. Residents have a sense of participation in buying groceries, and business operators have enthusiasm, promoting the construction of integrity and civilization in the market. It can be said that it is a win-win situation,” said manager of Wojia wet market.

The wet markets have also introduced advanced information technology and intelligent management models, fully utilizing technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things to establish functional modules for personnel management, business management, venue management, and operational analysis. 

Through the mobile phones of the management personnel, daily transaction data, various module work tasks, and other information will be automatically pushed to the corresponding intelligent app, effectively improving the management efficiency and level of the operator. 

The digital control of the comprehensive business process of the wet market further ensures the quality, price stability, safety and reliability of the food supply in the market.
