For its latest side hustle, Amazon is selling its cashierless technology to other retailers.<\/span><\/p>\n

A new website launched on Monday invites companies to leverage Amazon’s Just Walk Out service<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tech titan has already inked “several” deals with unnamed customers, according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Late last year, Amazon reportedly entered talks<\/a> to bring Go automation to OTG’s CIBO Express stores as airports, Cineworld’s Regal cinemas, and maybe even baseball stadium concession stands.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea is to have “hundreds” of stores working by the end of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon Go stores are ideal for hungry, time-pressed shoppers: Simply scan your phone to enter, shop as usual, then walk out without ever touching a wallet or pin pad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just Walk Out technology enables shoppers to enter a store, grab what they want, and just go (via Amazon)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Relying on computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning, the company’s “Just Walk Out” technology automatically detects when a product is removed from or returned to shelves, and keeps track of them in a virtual cart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon departure, your Amazon account is charged and a digital receipt is sent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm has opened 16 branded outposts since January 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This has pretty broad applicability across store sizes, across industries,” Dilip Kumar, Amazon’s vice president of physical retail and technology, told Reuters. “It fundamentally tackles a problem of how do you get convenience in physical locations, especially when people are hard-pressed for time.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike Go stores, though, shoppers using the branded tech at other locations must insert their credit card to enter a gated turnstile (featuring the Just Walk Out logo).<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon will install ceiling cameras and shelf weight sensors and staff a 24-7 support line, Reuters said.<\/span><\/p>\n
