SandStar Showcased State-of-the-Art, Unmanned Store at the EuroShop 2020

DUSSELDORF, Germany, February 22, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​​​SandStar, the AI startup which constantly explores the edge of new retail, showcased its unmanned store at the EuroShop 2020, the world’s biggest retail trade fair in Dusseldorf Germany, from February 16-20. 

The eyes of the retail world were on Dusseldorf, with 2,300 exhibitors from 60 countries and 114,000 trade visitors. EuroShop is an indispensable meeting point for retail professionals, offering insight into future trends and presenting state-of-the-art innovations in retail technology.

SandStar presented the grab-and-go shopping experience, built with computer vision and semantic action recognition technologies. Customers just take three simple steps to complete shopping: scan QR code to open the door, select products and leave. The bill will be paid automatically on the phone. Hundreds of multiple SKUs from food and beverages to clothes and toiletries are displayed in the store. Even if you hide the products in your pockets, cover them with your hands or return things you don’t want to different shelves, the system can still identify correctly.

The store no longer uses traditional RFID and sensor technologies. This helps to dramatically reduce the cost of building the hardware systems of an AI-based unmanned store while increasing the possibility of fast expansion. Prior to the EuroShop, SandStar has worked with multiple clients around the world to build up unmanned store retail experience. 

SandStar also unveiled its advanced technology which can track the human skeleton. It helps identify customer in-store behaviors and generate insights for retailers. With a deeper understanding of customer profiles, loyalty program, traffic tracking by section and area, inventory monitoring and staff management, retailers can make data-driven decisions on product selection, display optimization, as well as customized promotion and advertising.

SandStar opened its North American office earlier this year and has been actively performing global growth. Its business has launched in 12 countries, serving 20+ Fortune 500 companies globally. The award-winning team has over 220 tech experts now.
