Erling Lyche and his daughters knock back their drinks at the family home in the suburbs of Oslo. I have my daughters sort them out. Only in the last five to six years since we began to realise how much we could earn. 120 kroners a week is about 20 Dollars. By taking it to the shop you really see that you get your money back if you take it somewhere else you wouldn't bother.
Bottles go in and the machine spits a coupon back out.
This can then be cashed in for money or a discount. But high tech 3D image recognition technology ensures the customer gets back the right money. You can see also how the imaging system works this is the picture that the machine sees but it sees it with a much higher resolution and it also it sees 25 pictures every second so this is used then for identifying exactly what kind of bottles or other objects are fed through the machine. Behind me you can see more advance backroom systems where bottles are sorted and put automatically into crates. Empty crates are fed automatically into the system.
