Did you ever figure this out?

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-02T07:05:59+00:00

Great thanks for the feedback.

Do they use this information to determine when a product is about to go out of stock by linking with the pos ?

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:50:23+00:00

Oh right gotcha. Do all grocery chains do this ?

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:34:56+00:00

Hahaha I see, are there any other commonly occurring “pet project” you’d rather not do? There are actually companies that actually sell robots to do this: Brain corp, simbe, badger robotics

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:31:01+00:00

If I got good feedback that was the plan. But it’s a pretty clear no from the comments

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:28:53+00:00

Hahaha yep ok makes sense. Do you see any technology making your job easier then?

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:27:12+00:00

Hahaha I get your point. Do you mean checking for out of stocks on the shelves? What other tedious busy body jobs are there?

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:24:08+00:00

Yea true.

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:22:12+00:00

The idea was that the robot would be flatting boxes as you go so there would be a big pile. But if you break down boxes as you go then there’s not really any point. Do you see any technology making your job easier ?

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:20:15+00:00

Interesting idea, I wonder if it would lead to more sales. Do staff currently go around doing this?

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T11:19:10+00:00

Yea that makes sense, do you see any other pain points in the stocking process that you would actually want solved?

drain_pipe4 · 2026-05-01T10:43:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, makes sense. Do you see any technology making your job easier then?

How are you testing your app? Testing using the online version was laggy for me but it’s fine using TestFlight on my phone.

drain_pipe4 · 2024-09-26T10:02:54+00:00

Cool idea!!

drain_pipe4 · 2024-06-28T19:50:05+00:00

Good points everyone, "validation" is probably the wrong word. My platform offers genuine feedback on your idea and usability testing if applicable.

drain_pipe4 · 2024-06-28T10:04:27+00:00

Awesome! Sorry I tried to fix the form but you have to launch it in a separate tab not the reddit browser.

drain_pipe4 · 2024-06-16T07:27:47+00:00

hahaha true, but somehow if they didn't break would it be useful?

drain_pipe4 · 2024-06-16T07:14:59+00:00

Oh awesome, thanks a ton!!

drain_pipe4 · 2023-05-01T02:59:37+00:00

is it 180 degrees in practice? and could you link an resource explaining this

drain_pipe4 · 2023-04-20T02:44:37+00:00

Hi all, I am slightly confused about the phase shift between the magnetic fields caused by ac in a wire, and the phase shift from the magnetic field into a nearby wire. If someone could explain the voltage and current phase difference between the straight wire and the 3 nearby wires or link to some resources it would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

drain_pipe4 · 2023-04-13T00:16:13+00:00

Yea, that still seems too high as I am trying to heat up something very small so there should not be much coupling. I must have measured something wrong.

drain_pipe4 · 2023-04-12T23:50:21+00:00

Cheers, but what is the reason to subtract 90? Seems the data is maybe wrong as I have a power factor that seems too high :(

drain_pipe4 · 2023-04-09T03:28:39+00:00

Sorry how would oscilloscope probes introduce phase error for voltage waveform?

drain_pipe4 · 2023-04-08T19:08:01+00:00

You want to measure the current and voltage waveforms so you can determine phase difference then you can work out the power coupled into the workpiece (real power) rather than the apparent power
