Ahold Delhaize dives into cashierless checkout — no app needed
Ahold Delhaize is testing grab-and-go technology.
The supermarket giant opened a “digital” store under its Albert Heijn banner at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The store will be open for a two-month trial.
Customers scan their contactless debit card to enter. In the store, they pick out the products they want, while sensors keep track of which items have been taken or put back on the shelves. Cameras determine the position of customers without using facial recognition, allowing the store to monitor who is taking what, the company said.
Payment takes place automatically as customers exit the store, without customers having to register in advance or download an app. The payment system was developed with U.S. tech start-up AiFi and Dutch bank ING.
