Trigo’s computer vision algorithms --running off data produced by ceiling-mounted cameras and shelf sensors-- create a 3D "digital twin" of the store. The system logs shoppers' movements inside the store and correlates that with data on items they pick from the shelves. The algorithms can also be used to monitor inventory levels in real time, and detect items that have been misplaced or stolen.

Key Points: 
  • Trigo, an Israel-based computer vision company that builds systems for autonomous checkout and retail analytics, has rolled out Germanys first fully-autonomous cashierless supermarket in partnership with German grocery giant REWE Group.
  • The system logs shoppers' movements inside the store and correlates that with data on items they pick from the shelves.
  • Whereas in those stores shoppers can also use conventional checkout if they wish, the Munich store is fully cashierless, making it Germanys first fully automated supermarket.
  • The first fully autonomous REWE store marks the beginning of the second test phase of REWE Pick&Go, the companys innovation project.
