Supermarket carts with artificial intelligence are introduced in Chile

The experience of shopping in a supermarket can change completely with the introduction of artificial intelligence. In Chile, the change is already starting.

While self-service checkouts already exist in several supermarkets, where the same user scans their products and makes payment without a person being present as a cashier, this new technology would now be applied to shopping carts.

This is the Líder Al Carro project, which Walmart Chile is implementing in select stores. This technology can automatically recognize the products that customers place in the shopping cart and add up the total value of the purchase. So when customers arrive at the checkout, they only need to scan the total value, not individually.

This system works through cameras built into a device attached to the supermarket cart and an algorithm that recognizes the products on the hanger. Users can scan a product’s barcode before adding it to the cart, or they can place it right away as it will still be recognized and appear on the device’s screen.

If the customer changes his mind and does not want to accept the product, he just needs to remove it from the shopping cart and it will be automatically removed from the account.

In addition, the device attached to the cart can scan products loaded by weight, such as fruits and vegetables.

During your tour of the supermarket, depending on the products the customer chooses, recommendations for other related products and recipes will appear on the screen.

When the user is ready to pay, he can do so by entering his payment method into the datafast (the payment device for credit or debit cards) and recording his purchases at the end.
