The item-scanning smart cart has 3 advantages 

Item-scanning smart cart is a kind of smart shopping cart that is widely deployed and applied in retail stores and supermarkets. An item-scanning smart cart asks customers to scan items’ bar codes by themselves while they are shopping, this item-purchasing way seems not so intelligent, but it has its advantages.

Superhii.com is a leading provider of smart shopping carts, it has designed and developed a series of smart shopping cart products, including the S600 model, S700 model, and S800 model. They have the same feature, that is, they all have barcode scanners. The S800 model smart shopping cart even has 2 barcode scanners, one is fixed, and the other one is flexible that is convenient for customers to buy large-scale items.

Generally speaking, the item-scanning smart cart has the following 3 advantages.

(1) Items’ recognition rate can be up to 100%.

You may think that an item-scanning smart cart recognizes items based on items’ bar codes. An item-scanning smart cart reads items’ bar codes, but it recognizes items based on bar codes + items’ image + other multiple algorithms. The items’ recognition rate can be up to 100%.

Another kind of smart cart -image recognition smart cart seems popular. Customers no longer need to scan items’ bar codes anymore, they just select and throw items into the smart cart basket. The smart cart identifies items itself. But this is not accurate, there may be an error in the identification. When one certain item’s package was changed, the smart cart needs to learn this item’s appearance again.

（2）Item-scanning smart cart has a relatively low cost.

Since Amazon debuted its smart cart in July 2020, smart shopping carts have acquired a lot of attention. Retailers are curious about the smart cart functions, features as well as cost.

Retailers usually compare smart shopping cart prices with ordinary shopping cart prices, and they used to think that smart shopping cart price is too high. Surely, a smart shopping cart is more expensive than an ordinary shopping cart. The item-scanning cart price is different from the image-recognition smart shopping cart.

Compared with the image-recognition smart shopping cart, the item-scanning smart cart has a relatively low cost.

(3) Item-scanning smart cart is convenient to use and has a low error rate.

Normal shopping carts can date back to 1937. From that time, customers began to use shopping carts for shopping, and shopping carts are becoming more and more widely used.

In recent years, customers feel annoyed about the long queues at the cash counter, but they are still satisfied with shopping in a supermarket or physical retail store. They just want a convenient shopping way to provide self-service shopping and self-settlement shopping.
