Case Study: Standard Cognition achieves scalable ground-truth data and improved model performance for autonomous checkout with Scale AI

Standard Cognition - Customer Case Study

Standard Cognition, a retail company building an autonomous checkout platform that identifies shoppers by shape and movement, needed large, varied labeled image data to improve its vision-first deep learning models. Lacking the workforce and annotation tools to handle high volumes of image classification, Standard engaged Scale AI (using the Scale Image classification service) as a scalable data-labeling partner.

Scale AI supplied its platform and skilled annotators to perform high-volume image classification, allowing Standard Cognition to scale ground-truth data creation, improve model performance, and reallocate internal resources to data collection and customer support. By outsourcing annotation to Scale AI, Standard accelerated development of its autonomous checkout system and focused on perfecting the in‑store shopping experience.
