A captured shelf with live Kanops detections annotated
The platform · the retail refinery

From photograph
to intelligence.

A single captured shelf, refined into structured truth — by twelve models that learn from one another, and get sharper with every single click.

01 The pipeline

Five stages, one photograph.

Like a refinery turns crude into fuel, Kanops refines a raw shelf photograph into structured, decision-ready intelligence — in five stages.

01

Detection

Idaten-K detects shippers & displays; Themis identifies thousands of shelf-edge labels.

02

Spatial linking

Gary maps products to labels, reconstructing the physical realogram.

03

Dual-engine OCR

Two engines extract brand, price and label text at 93.1% yield.

04

Reference matching

Matched against 138,235 products and 5,821 brands for SKU-level resolution.

05

Intelligence

Area-weighted Share-of-Shelf, price positioning and compliance — via Delphi.

These five stages draw on 15+ models built, 6+ live — Idaten-K, Themis, Zygos, Kanon, Moneta, Mercator, Vertumnus, Chronos, OCR and more — each retrained and refined daily.

02 The One Brain

One correction,
every model sharper.

Every model is wired to the others. A single human fix cascades through Mercator, Vertumnus, Themis, Chronos, OCR and Idaten-K — 1.8M+ cross-learning entries and counting, improving performance without retraining.

1 human click → 6 model improvements
Interconnected intelligence

A correction in one model provides context that improves the others — detection, pricing and classification move together.

Always improving

Models are retrained and refined daily — the platform is measurably sharper this week than last.

03 Downstream models
