Solution
Deploy a Store
AiFi developed a custom NanoStore tailored to Albert Heijn’s needs. Dubbed ‘AH To Go’ the 250 square foot staff less store used AiFi’s AI Powered autonomous platform with
machine learning, edge computing and scalable computer vision technology to provide a checkout free shopping experience.
AiFi seamlessly identifies the products that shoppers are taking off the shelves and uses cameras to determine their purchases. No
personal data is retained, and all servers are located on site.
“It works simply: When the customer shows a payment card at the entrance, the door opens and the store starts to register the purchase of products that the customer takes from the shelves. When the shopping is done, the customer stands at the exit and sees the total amount on a display.”
Roel Popping, director of payments at ING Netherlands.
