Cheng Kun: A persistent smart shopping cart developer

When consumers and retailers were both anxious about long queues at the cash counter and the difficulty of cashier settlement, Cheng Kun had the idea of creating a smart shopping cart that can support consumers' do self-service settlement . At that time,  many supermarkets were already using self-service checkout counters, Cheng Kun discovered that self-service checkout counters could not fundamentally solve the problem of queuing at the cash counter.

Just do it. Cheng Kun, who is a technical professional, started to make a smart shopping cart with an ordinary shopping cart, and started with a flat-screen display, cutting machine, etc., and built the hardware of the smart shopping cart by himself.

This "simple" smart shopping cart is the prototype of today's Superhii smart shopping cart. With the hardware, Cheng Kun began to form his own technical team to develop software for smart shopping cart.

At that time, there was no clear user portrait and user requirements. Therefore, the original smart shopping cart only had the function of supporting users to conduct self-service settlement.

However, once the smart shopping cart emerges in the market , it will immediately face the problem of shopping loss prevention. After many attempts, Cheng Kun and his team adopted multiple loss prevention algorithms including fused sensors and other technologies. The smart shopping cart can do loss prevention and theft prevention very well. In the shopping process, if there are products that have not been scanned and was put in the cart directly , the smart shopping cart will remind customers to perform the correct operation.

After being put on the market, Cheng Kun and his team received many feedbacks from consumers, and also had a clearer list of smart shopping cart functional requirements, and then continued the long R&D work on smart shopping carts. Just as Cheng Kun's said: "The technological innovation of smart shopping cart has no end, and all our efforts are to provide users with a better shopping experience."

After that, Cheng Kun and his team equipped the smart shopping cart with a 4G+wifi dual network module, a panoramic camera, a rear HD camera, etc..The smart shopping cart can track the user's shopping process, collect and quantify the user's behavior during the shopping process .Also ,the smart shopping cart can transform the unmonitored and unintelligible shopping behavior into insightful and monitorable behavioral data and provide these data to the supermarket ERP system .

For consumers, smart shopping cart can provide related product recommendation, coupon push, mobile phone charging and other functions, which really brings consumers a better shopping experience.

After the Covid-19 outbreak, Cheng Kun and his team held an emergency meeting to determine the technological innovation direction of the smart shopping cart, and added a new antibacterial smart handle to the smart shopping cart, which has a new antibacterial and antiviral nano silver ion. The coating can effectively block 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, ensuring the safety and health of customers' shopping.

Cheng Kun is such a persistent smart shopping cart developer, using his practical actions to create a smart shopping cart that can truly change the entire offline retail. (Author : Superhii , Cindy Xin )
