REWE Tests ‘Pick & Go’ Technology In Cologne

Germany’s REWE Group is testing a new ‘Pick & Go’ technology in a market in downtown Cologne to enable shoppers to purchase their groceries easily and with minimal contact.

Customers opting to use the autonomous checkout in stores can register using the Pick & Go app, complete their shopping, and walk out of the store.

Intelligent cameras and sensors in the shelves and other high-tech components such as servers, switches, and around six kilometres of high-speed network cables are at the heart of the system.
