Trigo, an Israel-based computer vision company disrupting retail with frictionless checkout technology, has partnered with one of the world's largest grocery chains Tesco PLC to open its first fully autonomous checkout-free grocery store in one of London's busiest commercial centers.
Located in High Holborn in central London, the Tesco Express store is 225 sq m, and outfitted with cameras on the ceilings, will allow customers to walk in, pick their desired items, and walk out without stopping at the checkout. Payments and receipts are settled digitally. This will be the first time anyone other than Amazon is rolling out frictionless checkout grocery stores in the world, and comes as the US giant pursues its grocery strategy globally, which also includes Just Walk Out technology.
Trigo transforms existing supermarkets and groceries into fully autonomous, digital stores. Trigo's GDPR-compliant AI solution is built with a privacy-by-design architecture which anonymizes a shopper's movement and product choice data. No biometric or facial recognition data are gathered or analyzed.
