Around the world, computer vision checkout is growing, both in terms of its availability and its physical footprint, despite significant cost challenges to making the retail technology worth its while. German grocer Rewe recently announced Europe’s largest-yet computer-vision-powered checkout store, with its new roughly 13,000-square-foot location in Hamburg. The so-called “PickGo” store, created in partnership with retail technology company Trigo Vision,. Offers Just Walk Out-style checkout as well as more traditional self-scanning kiosks, scan-less self-checkout kiosks and traditional, staff-supported checkout

Computer Vision Checkout Expands Globally Despite Hurdles

Digital commerce company NCR Voyix has introduced a new self-checkout offering. The NCR Voyix Next Generation Self-Checkout Solution, announced in a news release Sunday (Jan. 14), was designed with the arrival of frictionless hybrid stores in mind, letting retailers “pivot quickly between assisted and self-checkout lanes or cash and cashless lanes.”. The solution uses multiple signals — such as bar code scanning, computer vision, RFID and more — to lower shopper friction and “drive natural inclusivity,” the company said

Ncr Voyix Upgrades Self-Checkout As ‘Unattended Payments’ Jump

With the rise of eCommerce and the need for convenience and flexibility, retailers have turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the customer experience, with AI-powered self-service options becoming popular. According to data captured in a recent PYMNTS study, 84% of U.S. consumers use self-service kiosks, with 66% preferring them over staffed checkouts. And although some customers still have reservations about self-service, citing a decline in social skills and a lack of meaningful connections, this preference extends across different generations, including Gen Zs and millennials. One of the main drivers behind the rise of self-checkout options is customers’ aversion to waiting in lines. In fact, Americans spend an estimated 37 billion hours waiting in line each year, with retail stores being the primary location

While “Just Walk Out”-style checkout remains quite new to most consumers, and may not be for everyone, PYMNTS Intelligence reveals that a significant portion of shoppers are open to the payment method, creating an opportunity for grocers looking to lower their labor costs. By the Numbers. PYMNTS Intelligence’s report “How We Will Pay Report: How Connected Devices Enable Multitasking Among Digital-First Consumers” draws from a survey of more than 4,600 U.S. consumers to understand how they use their internet-connected devices on a day-to-day basis

One In Three Shoppers Interested In Frictionless In-Store Checkout

As new forms of self-checkout expanded across the global grocery industry throughout the year, key players found in 2023 that it is essential to continue to offer consumers familiar options. Even the most tech-focused grocery retailers are noting this need. Take, for instance, Amazon, which has begun supplementing its Just Walk Out computer vision systems and its Dash Cart smart shopping carts with more traditional kiosks. Over the summer, it was reported that the eCommerce giant is including traditional self-checkout lanes at new brick-and-mortar grocery stores under its Fresh concept, even at locations where Just Walk Out is available. Plus, reports throughout the year showed the company making such changes at locations in London

Grocers’ Traditional Self-Checkout Kiosks Made Cautious Comeback In 2023

It seems consumers may not be comfortable yet with fully autonomous stores, as Amazon is continuing to add traditional self-checkout kiosks to its Just Walk Out stores.In a Friday (Sept. 29) LinkedIn post, Charlie Mills, head of in-store and local marketing at the tech giant’s Amazon Fresh grocery chain, announced that at a Fresh location in London, the company has implemented traditional self-checkout kiosks in addition to its existing frictionless checkout system.“Customers get the choice of scanning and paying for items using the self-checkout, and they can still check out at the gates using our Just Walk Out technology,” Mills said in the post. “The Amazon Fresh in-store shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion and deep learning. … Using the self-checkout adds another convenient way to shop.”The move suggests that there has been demand from consumers for more familiar checkout options, indicating that perhaps the radically different in-store journey that Just Walk Out-style autonomous solutions provide may be too big a leap for many consumers.The news comes a couple months after Bloomberg reported that Amazon is adding self-checkout kiosks to several Fresh stores in the United States, and more than half a year after the company began adding manned checkouts alongside its Just Walk Out technology in London. Yet the company is also expanding its autonomous checkout system, most recently bringing it to clothing stores.Amazon did not immediately respond to PYMNTS’ request for comment about how its approach to in-store checkout is evolving.Overall, consumers seem to seek out the comfort of more familiar technologies. In an interview with PYMNTS, Jordan Fisher, CEO of autonomous retail technology company Standard AI, said changing shopper behavior requires a slow, gradual approach, allowing consumers to stick with the systems they feel comfortable with until they are ready to make the leap.“I think hybrid is the way forward,” he said
