«Клиенты приходят не только из-за курса»: как РНКО «Металлург» 10 лет живет без ручного ввода паспорта

Привет, Хабр! На связи Smart Engines. Недавно мы провели открытый диалог с Егором Карасевым, первым заместителем Председателя Правления РНКО «Металлург», и обсудили наше сотрудничество длиной в 10 лет. Все это время компания использует технологии Smart Engines для распознавания паспортов клиентов в отделениях. Получился разговор не столько об OCR, сколько о том, как автоматизация меняет потоковое обслуживание, снижает нагрузку на сотрудников и помогает бизнесу не терять клиентов из-за ручного ввода данных.П Read more

Дисплеи с парящим изображением существуют уже множество лет; они используются, например, для управления лифтами без касаний. Также их можно встретить на ресепшенах, в банкоматах и других местах. Узкая область видимости идеально подходит для безопасного ввода данных, например, PIN-кодов. А со времён пандемии такие концепции обратили на себя большое внимание, поскольку они обеспечивают максимальную гигиену.
