Camera Box 3.0 AI appearance inspection and smart pricing for used electronics
ATRenew's AI Camera Box checks a used phone's exterior in about 20 seconds, 90% faster than manual inspection
Problem
ATRenew recycles and resells used electronics. Each device needs a cosmetic grade and a price, and manual inspection takes time and varies between inspectors.
Approach
ATRenew built Camera Box 3.0, an in-house inspection device that runs an AI algorithm to find exterior defects. A separate pricing system uses big data and AI to set recycling and transaction prices automatically from a central database, using device condition, market demand and depreciation.
Results
Takeaway
The company measures the inspection gain against manual checks and claims accuracy above 99%. It did not describe how it tested that accuracy.
