The Okay Compact store in Belfortstraat in the centre of Ghent is accessible to customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The assortment comprises about 700 products for daily needs. Staff is only required for replenishing the goods and for cleaning. Technology to operate the store has been developed within the group itself.<\/p>\n<p>Colruyt founded start-up Smart Technics in 2020. The unit develops innovative solutions for automation and digitalisation of processes within the entire value chain. Currently, 40 employees are working on key topics in the areas of artificial intelligence, robotics, logistics, software development, product recognition, digital twin, and project management. Solutions developed here are used both within the Colruyt Group and marketed externally.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>QR codes open doors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Customers gain access to the store with help of the Colruyt Xtra app or their customer card. After scanning the QR code from app or card, the door to the store opens. The goods are stored in locked cabinets that can also be opened via QR code. This applies to both refrigerated and ambient products. When a customer removes an item, it is automatically added to the shopping basket. The system recognises products by their weight and its respective location. Corresponding sensors are installed in the bottom of the shelves.<\/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-42c6404 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"42c6404\" 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-49fa5d0\" data-id=\"49fa5d0\" 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-580fc6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"580fc6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2021\/11\/Okay_Compact_3_1024.jpeg.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7600\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2021\/11\/Okay_Compact_3_1024.jpeg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2021\/11\/Okay_Compact_3_1024-300x225.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2021\/11\/Okay_Compact_3_1024-768x576.jpeg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The so-called Smart Fridge, developed by Colruyt Group's Smart Technics team, opens its doors using QR codes.
