Everyone is, at least, aware of Amazon Go smart stores by now, but there are a number of other seamless concepts.

• Vending machine stores: People order and shop via a touchscreen or smartphone. Robots assemble the goods in the background.
• Scan & Go: The goods are scanned by the customer in the store. The payment process is automated.
• Grab & Go: Scanning is no longer necessary. The customer identifies himself at the entrance with a QR code, takes the goods and leaves the store again. Everything is automated via sensors and image recognition.
• Stores with integrated self-checkout solution: Here, the customer is responsible for scanning the goods and the payment process.

What does smart shopping mean? You can experience the future of shopping and retail at EuroCIS in the form of smart stores.

The use of AI-based data analysis also makes strategic business decisions more precise and well-founded. At the same time, intelligent monitoring systems improve security and contribute to theft protection. As stores become increasingly connected, a robust cybersecurity strategy and the protection of IT systems and sensitive data are also becoming more important.
