The unmanned supermarket is on fire

Ma Yun's unmanned supermarket is here! Alibaba's unmanned supermarket 'Tao Coffee' debuted in Hangzhou a few days ago. There are no cashiers, no long lines, and you can leave after shopping. When entering the store for the first time, open the 'Mobile TaobaoSweep this electronic admission ticket when you pass the gate, you can shop after you enter the store, and you don't have to pick up your mobile phone for the whole journey. Since the unmanned store completely subverts traditional physical retailing, in the future, consumers only need to pick up what they need, and they can leave without queuing to check out. The accounts will be automatically deducted from the account, which reduces the number of checkout staff and saves a lot of store opening costs. , This also makes sanitary ware businesses around the corner to have the idea of u200bu200bestablishing an unmanned store. If a sanitary ware company wants to build an unmanned store, it must use new technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, including the use of lens photography, sensors and software for visual recognition, first to confirm the identity of consumers, and then the price on the shelf must be able to be ready at any time Update, as for goods, RFID electronic tags may also be applied; finally, deduction functions such as online payment must be used.　　Experts said that the rapid expansion of unmanned stores in China has benefited from the widespread use of mobile payments and the government's request for real-name systems for social media users, which helps prevent theft and collect valuable user data. In the future, the promotion and application of facial recognition technology will provide more benefits, and things will not be smooth sailing. Last month, an unmanned convenience store in Shanghai was forced to close because the hot temperatures deteriorated the quality of snacks in the store and the store had to install additional air-conditioning equipment. Therefore, the unmanned store model is not yet mature in China, and it will take time for sanitary ware companies to infiltrate.
