With this step, Schwarz Group&#8217;s discount retail division is promoting a seamless self-scanning journey for its customers in the fresh produce department. Lidl has already equipped around 250 stores across Germany with two scales per store in most cases, according to information provided to <em>The<\/em> <em>Retail Optimiser<\/em> by project staff at the retail company. These AI-supported scales from Mettler Toledo had previously been tested in Lidl stores in Poland.<\/p>\n<p>Driven by the Europe-wide introduction of Scan&amp;Go self-scanning via the Lidl Plus loyalty app \u2013 developed on the basis of GK&#8217;s POS software platform \u2013 Lidl is integrating Mettler Toledo&#8217;s AI-supported scales into a seamless process. The devices from the weighing technology specialist are designed to ensure that shoppers can scan loose fruit and vegetables faster and with fewer errors. Customers simply place the products on the scale. They do not need to scan labels on the shelf or enter product numbers.<\/p>\n<p>The integrated camera in Mettler Toledo&#8217;s system uses AI to identify items and displays the correct match or a small selection of possible products on the display \u2013 regardless of whether fruit and vegetables are placed on the scale loose, in plastic bags, or in nets. Shoppers then confirm the correct item and receive a barcoded label, which they then scan with their smartphone using the Scan&amp;Go function. This AI-powered scale marks an important milestone in the continuous shopping process, significantly simplifying the handling of fresh produce during the customer&#8217;s self-scanning journey.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lidl speeds up Scan&amp;Go<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To use Scan&amp;Go, customers first must check in to a participating store via the discounter&#8217;s loyalty app, either by sharing their location or by scanning a QR code at the store entrance. Once they have checked in, the Lidl app synchronises regional price differences. Shoppers can then scan items with their own smartphones, can keep track of their shopping cart in real time, activate coupons and automatically redeem discounts. Finally, they can pay at the self-checkout terminals.<\/p>\n<p>At a store in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen, the <em>Retail Optimiser<\/em> team transferred Scan&amp;Go purchases to a staffed checkout for payment via the Lidl Plus app, as the four new self-checkout terminals from the provider 4POS and an exit gate were not yet fully installed. According to Lidl&#8217;s website, store employees carry out random checks to help reduce shrinkage in self-scanning areas.<\/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<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4a7b3d8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4a7b3d8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9bd82bf\" data-id=\"9bd82bf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a42fe5 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5a42fe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07477eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"07477eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Retail Optimiser Picture Gallery<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdfba0b elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"cdfba0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Bild Karussell\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 3\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/11\/Lidl_ScanGo_1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Lidl advertises Scan&amp;Go directly on shopping trolleys and equips them with a holder for customers&#039;
