Smart price tags can
interact with applications on customers' smartphones. For example, sensors
installed on shelves can tell when you are approaching them, so they can show
the price of the same bread you bought last week. In addition, if you use a
store application to create a shopping list, the smart shelf can interact with
the list and tell you where to find the goods you want. Although there are
privacy and data collection issues, some consumers share their personal
information and purchase history to conclude transactions.
Radio Frequency Identification Reader (RFID)
usually has a tag, which contains a microchip, reader and antenna to transmit
and receive data. It uses radio waves to identify objects and transmit
information about them. In supermarkets, RFID technology can help retailers manage
and track inventory. RFID tags can alert shop assistants when the shelves are
empty, need to be re-stocked, or someone puts the wrong goods on the shelves.
The combination of RFID tags on each item and robot checkout can automatically
scan your purchases and make shopping faster.
Internet of Things (IoT) sensors have
many potential uses in supermarkets, among which temperature control is the
most basic. Internet of Things sensors can detect temperatures in refrigerators
and boxes to make sure they are correct, lest fluctuations destroy all ice
cream or make all meat sales dangerous. The Internet of Things can also collect
data from smart shelves and transmit it to storage partners for analysis. This
technology can help supermarkets understand which products are attractive to
consumers and how stores arrange display.
Electronic shelf labels will change the way you shop
in the future. From digital displays showing real-time price changes to ads
linking to shopping lists, you can expect this technology to become more
personalized.
