Self-Service solutions leverage A.I., computer vision and edge computing
- Toshiba’s Vision Kiosk bypasses barcodes completely by automatically identifying and validating items, typically in convenience, pharmacy and specialty stores. The computer vision self-service kiosk offers the ability to buy items quickly and easily using contactless and biometric payments, powered by PopID.
- The TCx® SMART Self Checkout offers multiple customisation options including wall-mounted and freestanding solutions, designed to meet changing self-service expectations across retail segments including grocery, specialty and convenience.
- Toshiba’s Self Checkout System 7 integrates edge computing cameras to minimize shrink while providing consumers enhanced checkout experiences and reduced friction. For produce recognition the TCx EDGEcam leverages A.I. and computer vision integrated with Intel technology to identify produce accurately and fast. Based on retailer data, Toshiba has found that shoppers save as much as five seconds per produce item lookup during checkout. Furthermore, the TCx EDGEcam+ utilizes Qualcomm® System-on-Chip (SoC) technology to enhance loss prevention capabilities, ensuring comprehensive security measures.
A.I.-enabled Connected Services powers operational efficiency in stores
Toshiba’s recently opened Command Center in Brussels is ready to deliver A.I.-enabled Connected Services for retailers. At EuroCIS, retailers will experience the Retail Command Center in real life, showing how A.I.-enabled analytics can identify failure patterns of hardware components and software processes, enabling retailers to drive technology management decisions instantly, changing the store support model from reactive to proactive, minimizing downtime, and lost revenues.
Unified Commerce brings agility to mobile and in-store touchpoints
Modern consumer shopping journeys are constantly evolving, moving from digital to physical, mobile to in-store, and vice-versa. Mobile solutions are a given for shoppers and are essential for in-store staff. Toshiba’s unified commerce makes this easy, leveraging a unified single basket architecture across multiple touchpoints.
Composable and modular software solutions enable retailers to accelerate change
Retailers looking to transform their business and to adopt innovative technologies to meet their consumer expectations can consider solutions to replace a complete platform, as well as composable technologies when wanting to introduce innovative applications step by step. Everything is available in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model to ease affordability and speed of deployment.
