**The significance and functions of using a foot three-dimensional laser scanner in retail stores in

A foot three-dimensional laser scanner uses laser principles and is applied in in-store foot assessment, service upgrades, and customer retention. It usually has the following significance and functions:

1. High scanning accuracy, more precise customer assessment, with data accuracy up to 0.5 mm.

Based on laser principles, by using laser reflection, it acquires three-dimensional foot data of in-store customers. The scanning results are detailed, with small errors.

The measured three-dimensional data can be applied to the precise implementation of services such as customer foot type classification, footwear fitting, and custom insole production.

2. High service efficiency and more convenient customer experience.

Generally speaking, using a foot three-dimensional laser scanner for assessment only takes 5–25 seconds to complete the scan and obtain complete foot assessment data of the customer.

If traditional measurement methods are used, not only is the data error relatively large, but the process also takes a longer time—seven to eight minutes or even longer.

3. Non-contact measurement, suitable for various in-store customer groups.

The foot three-dimensional laser scanner measures through the reflection between laser beams and the surface of the customer’s foot, without direct contact with the foot, and therefore belongs to non-contact measurement.

This measurement method can avoid hygiene risks caused by contact during the assessment process and can also prevent foot discomfort resulting from contact-based measurement.

It is especially suitable for groups that emphasize hygiene protection, have sensitive foot skin, or are resistant to contact-based measurement.

4. Ability to obtain personalized foot shape characteristics of customers.

Through laser scanning, personalized morphological characteristics of different customers’ feet can be captured, enabling subsequent fitting services to better match customer needs.

It is particularly suitable for stores and application scenarios with high requirements for foot data accuracy, such as footwear customization stores, foot care stores, and sports equipment stores.

5. Low operational threshold, high safety, suitable for long-term in-store use.

The equipment adopts laser non-ionizing radiation technology, has no harmful radiation, is harmless to the human body, and is simple and easy to operate. It can meet the needs of stores for multiple daily customer assessments and long-term stable use.
