PIGG: Product Information Generation & Gathering

Categories: Product · AI Technology · Automation Technology · Intellectual Property

PIGG is Charon Laboratories' proprietary AI-driven engine for the retail and inventory management sectors. It is a vision-based system designed to bridge the gap between physical products and digital data.

The Problem

For retail businesses, especially those dealing with diverse or high-volume inventory (like grocery stores or marketplaces), the process of identifying products, gathering their attributes, and entering them into a digital system is a massive operational bottleneck. It is slow, prone to human error, and expensive.

The Solution: PIGG

PIGG is a mobile application and supporting backend process that allows users to capture images of physical products and automatically generate structured, usable product data.

Core Capabilities:

• AI-Driven Identification: Instantly identifies products from raw images using advanced computer vision.
• Data Synthesis: Gathers and generates relevant product information (name, brand, size, ingredients/specs, etc.) from identified images.
• Automated Organization: Organizes generated information based on user-defined category structures, ensuring data consistency.
• System Integration: Users can select from connected platforms (e-commerce sites, ERPs, inventory systems) and upload the generated information directly—placing products exactly where they belong with minimal friction.

The Future of PIGG

Beyond simple identification and data entry, future releases of PIGG will introduce:

• Market-Level Intelligence: Real-time comparison and monitoring of pricing across leading competitors and market participants.
• Competitive Insights: Helping businesses understand where they stand in the market for any given product category.

PIGG is a core component of our Centralized IP Strategy, providing the data-gathering foundation for our logistics and retail subsidiaries.
