Checkout Manager System for Detecting Queues
Minimize waiting times – Optimize personnel deployment The Checkout Manager is flexible and can adjusted to the individual requirements of each checkout situation. Active infrared ceiling sensors detect individually definable queues at up to 16 checkouts, and if necessary emit a signal to open additional checkouts.
You decide how long the queue can be and what information the signal gives. Personnel deployment is therefore optimized and waiting time for customers minimized – an essential factor for customer satisfaction.
How the Checkout Manager works
Ceiling sensors: Define the maximum length of the queue.
Checkout situation B The maximum queue length has been reached at all open checkouts. The checkout manager gives a signal for another checkout to be opened.
Checkout situation C Another checkout is occupied. The customers standing in the queues move over to the newly opened checkout.
Ceiling sensors: Monitor the articles being set down and prevent false alarms.
Signal options for checkout opening Standard signal: One-off signal for a set, adjustable time Pulse signal: Repeated signal for a set, adjustable time ”Speaking” signal: Repeated signal, dependent on the number of checkouts already open: + One checkout open – Signal emitted twice, i.e. the second checkout has to be opened. + Two checkouts open – Signal emitted three times, i.e. the third checkout has to be opened. + etc.
