Stores in the UK are increasingly making use of cashierless payments. Grocery outlets
are deploying the latest technologies and innovative solutions to keep up with
consumers’ demands and to facilitate the way they pay for their products.
According to a recent report by Wall Street Journal, the
British grocer Tesco is planning to open a “pick and go” or “frictionless shopping” outlet to the
public by next year. It will be tested among employees first and eventually, it
might be deployed in its smaller shops. This decision was inspired by Amazon Go
grocery stores. Tesco’s plan is as follows: it will make use of 150
ceiling-mounted cameras to generate a three-dimensional view of products as
they are taken off the shelves. The company recently released a demo which
showed that its system detected shoppers as they walked around the store. It
also identified a group of items when a person stood in front of a camera
holding them to tally up their prices. The grocery firm advanced that this
project will be expanded to include an app or a loyalty card identification of
shoppers to offer a more frictionless shopping experience. As such, Tesco
consumers will be able to pay for products quickly and without difficulty.
