Currently, in the food industry, EDI systems are increasingly being used in ordering operations. On the other hand, purchase orders sent by fax or PDF are often used for ordering with business partners who cannot use the EDI system, for urgent orders, or for ordering products that are not registered with EDI.

Typically, the format of these purchase orders varies widely from one trading partner to another and is not uniform. Purchase orders that look disjointed require a lot of effort to read, which is one of the major factors that reduces productivity in ordering operations. Additionally, many OCR services require pre-definition of forms in order to read these non-standard forms, making them difficult to utilize.

"Flax Scanner for Food Order Form" is an AI-OCR dedicated to food order forms created by Cinnamon AI, which has developed numerous AI solutions, to solve problems in the food industry. Food purchase orders received by fax, etc. in various formats can be read without any predefined formats.

The read data can be linked to the customer's core system. It is also possible to use the master database to correct reading results and further improve accuracy.
Items to be read are "Orderer name", "Orderer's telephone number", "Orderer's fax number", "Delivery destination name", "Delivery destination telephone number", "Delivery destination fax", "Delivery address", "Product code", "Product name", "Quantity", "Order" In addition to number and delivery date, we also extract according to customer requests.

By introducing this system, we will be able to easily and accurately read food order forms, greatly improving the efficiency of ordering operations.

Cinnamon AI is a company that aims to solve social issues with the power of technology, with the purpose of ``Together with AI, we will create a world full of creativity where everyone can envision a new future.'' This system was developed by addressing the human resource shortage issue, which is a concern in the logistics and manufacturing industries, and by passing on the know-how of skilled workers who have supported Japanese manufacturing for many years. These issues are recognized as issues not only in Japan but also in other countries due to the aging of the world.

Cinnamon AI aims to have this service used by many companies in the manufacturing and logistics industries in Japan, and to increase the number of cases in which AI is used in the manufacturing and logistics industries. In addition, we will continue to further advance research and development of AI and expand solutions that solve issues in the manufacturing and logistics industry, such as improving business efficiency and lack of successors.
