Ahold Delhaize is moving forward with its test of frictionless checkout with AH To Go, a portable digital store at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, reports Supermarket News. The 150-foot-square cashierless store uses AiFi’s NanoStore technology to identify the products that shoppers take off the shelves, as well as cameras and shelf-weight sensors to determine customer purchases. Products sold at AH To Go include sandwiches, wraps, salads, pre-cut fruit, bottled water, and more.
“The airport is a perfect place for autonomous stores. Travelers are very aware of their time and need food and drinks at a variety of hours. We are very happy to collaborate with Albert Heijn to bring more convenience and delight to busy travelers,” Steve Gu, co-founder and CEO of Santa Clara, Calif.-based AiFi, said in a statement. “This speaks to the original design thinking behind NanoStore: to make a plug-and-play, modular store so it can be easily placed and moved where people need it the most.” Full Story
