There has been a clear investment by the various sectors of activity in self-checkout systems and kiosks. In order to improve the customer experience, there is a simultaneous investment in artificial intelligence (AI), which provides more autonomy to consumers.
As the various industries and customer expectations are shaped by the resources of today’s online world, establishment owners also try to offer a shopping experience that meets the digital needs and expectations of the consumer.
Examples are the self-checkout systems with AI technology, which aim to increase revenues as well as streamline all purchasing processes. This innovative technology allows customers to scan products, pay and receive the receipt, quickly and without queues.
These self-checkout systems, supported by artificial intelligence, allow us to recognize objects as easily as our eyes. That is, they identify products almost instantly and from any angle.
This innovative technology provides more convenient and personalized consumption experiences, in addition to allowing more automation and less physical contact. In many cases there is even no need to digitize each product individually, which allows people to go their own way quickly.
With personalized content and services a click away on all social media, entertainment and e-commerce platforms, consumers expect the same level of customization to happen in the offline world and more specifically in physical stores.
The autonomy provided by self-checkout systems with artificial intelligence guides consumers through the buying journey and helps them to save time.
In addition to this computational vision, AI technologies allow this experience to occur flawlessly, since they control everything the customer puts in the basket – more specifically through cameras and sensors. Image recognition software is also available so that businesses can quickly identify recurring customers and their consumption behavior. Consequently, you may be recommended products or you may be provided with guidance on some product in stock.
PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS multimedia kiosks and digital billboards, for example, can integrate the Real Catcher system, an application based on innovative image analysis techniques and facial recognition biometrics. Real Catcher system is a software that detects one or more human faces, using a standard webcam, IP camera or special video analysis systems such as Kinect, PrimeSense and others.
By recognizing and registering products, self-checkout systems with artificial intelligence can guarantee that no product passes through the box without being paid for – thus reducing the risk of theft.
