The future of purchase: No crates, no money (Video)

To revolutionize the way we buy food, the Amazon has opened a supermarket without ark operators.

The purchase is billed to customers' credit cards when they leave the store.

Amazon Go store uses hundreds of cameras mounted on ceilings and electronic sensors to identify every client and to follow the items they choose.

When they enter the shop, buyers pass through the gates scanning Amazon Go app on their phones.

They're free to take their drinks, cookies, bread and everything by filling up their shopping bags. That way they don't need a basket or a cart, because they won't pass their products through the register.

With the help of sensors on shelves, products are added to Amazon Go's client account while they select food and erase it when they put it back on the shelf. An electronic bill is met when they leave the supermarket.

The mode “take-and-ik” of shopping is thought to be the future of sales. But Amazon believes it's the right time, or at least the innovation should be tested worldwide.

You scan a QR code as you enter the store. After that, you're free to make purchases that you only want thanks to Amazon Go app on your phone.

There are weight sensors on shelves to see whether an article was taken or put back in place. And some articles carry a visual code, like a code bar, to help cameras identify them.

Amazon has not provided any information on how accurate the system is. However, a journalist tried to steal several cans of drink, but the system dictated it and added it to its bill.

The company still has no plans to introduce this technology to other food store chains. Meanwhile, vendors say that the sooner they buy customers, the more likely they are to return to the store.

Brian Olsavsky, the Amazon's financial director, has indicated that competitors should expect more Amazon stores in the coming months and years. You'll see more developments from Amazon. It's still early, so our plans will develop over time,” he said in October.
