How modern stores work without salespeople

[rakhirhif8963]

The capabilities of modern video analytics systems equipped with artificial intelligence not only ensure the safety of the seller - in large cities it is naive to hope that all buyers will be honest - but also make the process easier for the client. He does not need to stand in line at the checkout, put purchases on the conveyor belt, pay for them, and then put them in a bag. However, despite all the obvious advantages, such stores are not very common yet.

In the stores of the future, as they are sometimes called, cashiers have been replaced by an advanced video surveillance system. Upon entering such a store, the buyer identifies himself - scans a fingerprint, or registers using a mobile application or card. After that, hundreds of cameras installed throughout the premises track his every move. They know exactly what product he takes from the shelf and write it down on the receipt. If the buyer turns the product in his hands and puts it back - the purchase will not be on the receipt.

When the customer leaves the store, the software brazil mobile database the receipt and writes off the required amount from the account. No additional actions are required - no scanning of purchases, no talking to cashiers about the weather outside.

What does technology consist of?
In order to launch such a store without salespeople, it is necessary to implement an advanced video analytics system. First of all, it includes a large number of surveillance cameras (for example, in a hall area of ​​about 40 square meters, there can be up to a hundred of them). Interestingly, to identify a buyer, it is not necessary for the cameras to remember and recognize his face at every movement. For example, in the Amazon Go store there are so many cameras that they ensure continuous surveillance. After the store “recognizes” the buyer at the entrance, he is constantly in the field of view of the system, linking images from different cameras. They, in turn, constantly see every square centimeter of the room from different angles.
