As the study ‘Self-Checkout: Market Survey 2023’ by the EHI Retail Institute shows, the proportion of stores with self-checkouts in Germany has risen by more than 150 per cent in the last two years: Retailers have long recognised the considerable potential of self-service technology. At the same time, retailers are recording an increasing number of inventory discrepancies. To counteract this trend in the self-service area, Diebold Nixdorf now offers its customers one of the most comprehensive AI-powered solutions to protect against shrinkage in the self-service area and beyond.<\/p>\n

Self-service checkouts offer numerous advantages. They enable greater customer convenience, optimised sales areas and better staff deployment options, for example, in customer service. Nevertheless, retailers are confronted with a number of challenges around self-checkout that need to be solved. One problem is the possible loss of goods due to unintentional or deliberately missed scans, the manipulation of barcodes or when customers leave the checkout zone without making a payment. According to Statista, inventory discrepancies in German retail have risen slightly in recent years. In 2022 alone, retailers lost revenue of 4.6 billion euros as a result. Part of the shrinkage is attributable to the checkout area.<\/p>\n

To help retailers tackle this problem, Diebold Nixdorf has introduced Vynamic\u00ae Smart Vision | Shrink Reduction, an AI-powered solution for fraud prevention at self-service checkouts. The software, first introduced in early 2024, uses Smart Vision technology to detect unconscious and deliberate operating errors during self-checkout. It provides store employees with the information they need to react accordingly. The software complements the AI-powered solutions for automated age verification \u2013 Vynamic\u00ae Smart Vision | Age Verification \u2013 and fruit and vegetable recognition, Vynamic\u00ae Smart Vision | Fresh Produce Recognition, which has already been successfully introduced by Diebold Nixdorf. The three solutions are part of Diebold Nixdorf’s Vynamic\u00ae Smart Vision AI platform.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
