  • Patent number: 12124951
    Abstract: A system for verifying a machine-readable label comprises a scan table processing device comprising a first input for receiving a list of items with machine-readable labels; a second input for receiving a list of stores that have an inventory of the items in the list of items and that have at least one sensing device for capturing images of the items; and an output that includes a plurality of electronic records. The system further comprises a data repository that stores the captured images of the items and that updates the electronic records to include an association to the captured images; a graphical user interface (GUI) processing apparatus that modifies the captured images in preparation for training an artificial intelligence apparatus to identify the items in the images; and a machine language (ML) model processor that determines whether the images training the artificial intelligence apparatus are correctly identified with machine-readable labels associated with the items.
