Amazon just created the latest world’s most advanced shopping technology known as Amazon Go. It is a new kind of store with no checkout required so you will not have to wait in line. It is partially-automated, with customers able to purchase products without using a cashier or checkout station. Most people who spend any time in a grocery store understand how vexing the checkout process can be, with clogged lines for cashiers and customers who fumble with self-checkout kiosks.

The technology is often referred to as a cashier-less grocery store. It is a grocery store operated by the online retailer. It is currently located in Seattle, Washington only but in the works for Chicago and San Francisco. Just be patient as work is on to ensure that this technology gets to the nook and cranny of every city of the world. There are no shopping carts or baskets inside Amazon Go because there is no need for them. instead products are dropped straight into a shopping bag.

Mode of Operation of Amazon GO

The promotional video published by Amazon explained that the store concept uses several technologies. Which including computer vision, deep learning algorithms, and sensor fusion. These are used to automate much of the purchase, check out, and payment steps associated with a retail transaction. The ‘checkout-free’ shopping experience is made possible by these same types of technologies which are also used in self-driven cars. The store concept relies on the prevalence of smartphones and geo-fencing technology. Thus streamlin ing the customer experience, as well as supply chain and inventory management.

Customers must download the app for iOS and Android, which is linked to their Amazon.com account, before shopping at the store. The app allows users to add others to their account, so kids and a spouse’s purchases can be charged to the same bill.

Actual shoplifting is not easy at Amazon Go. The ceiling of the store has multiple cameras and store shelves have weight sensors, to detect which item(s) a customer took. If a customer takes an item off the shelf, it will be added to the person’s virtual cart. If a customer places an item back on the shelf, it is “taken out” of the virtual cart.
