Aifi’s proprietary sensor fusion technology combines deep learning, computer vision and various shelf sensors to precisely track each customer’s journey and behavior in the store, recognize the products they pick up, and automatically generates a receipt as they checkout.
As a result of rising overhead costs in retail store operations which has led to the major ones downsizing globally due to automation, and some moving their staff to areas where they will be able to perform efficiently, the disruption of the traditional retail store is here. It is expected that more retailers will shift to retail store technologies like Nanostore thereby reducing the need for more human-driven operations.
