An agreement between Alimentation Couche-Tard and Mashgin will bring 10,000+ computer vision-based self-checkout machines to over 7,000 of its Circle K and Couche-Tard stores in the U.S., Canada and Europe following successful deployment in nearly 500 locations, as well as at Couche-Tard’s retail innovation lab store on the campus of McGill University in Montreal.
The agreement with Mashgin launches the global deployment of the system and represents one of the largest scale expansions of computer vision-powered checkout technology to date.
The Mashgin Touchless Checkout System is a compact countertop device that uses computer vision to recognize items presented from virtually any angle and instantly ring them up in a single transaction. Customers place their items on the Mashgin Touchless Checkout System, which uses cameras to ring them up everything. There is no need to download an app or find and scan barcodes; shoppers simply put items down, pay as they normally would, and are on their way.
