“Mashgin provides a better way for companies looking to innovate and adjust to shifting consumer behavior, even more so in the wake of a global pandemic,” said Abhinai Srivastava, CEO and co-founder of Mashgin. “Computer scientists have long dreamt of the possibilities of what artificial intelligence (AI) could help humankind achieve. Today, Mashgin helps lead the way to realize that dream in the retail sector by giving people back precious time that would have been otherwise wasted in line.”
The Mashgin Touchless Checkout System identifies items from virtually any angle and instantly rings them up in a single transaction with a 99.9% accuracy rate, even for produce and plated food. It doesn’t need barcodes or RFIDs, perfectly consistent packaging, or particular orientations to work correctly. Consumers simply place their items down, pay, and go — in 10 seconds or less.
Mashgin widened its lead as the most vetted computer vision-powered checkout system over the course of the past 18 months, expanding to over 700 locations, and further optimized the time it takes to launch a new location — dropping from several days to under an hour.
