亚马逊开发智能购物车，实现无收银结账

亚马逊公司开发出了一款带有屏幕的智能购物车Dash Cart，它可以帮助消费者更加方便快捷地结账。该公司周二表示，Dash Cart将于今年晚些时候在洛杉矶伍德兰山附近，亚马逊开设的新型超市中首次亮相。这家电商巨头其实一直试图在竞争激烈的实体零售市场中脱颖而出，它家现状最引人注目的就是拥有自动结账流程的便利店Amazon Go。但是相比之下，Amazon Go技术要在现有的商店中安装，这需要先关闭商店再安装，花费时间较长。相比之下，智能购物车Dash Cart的安装较为简单，可以在不影响运营的情况下进行投放。但实际上这款智能购物车已经有了竞争对手：Caper和Veeve都是可以自动扫描产品支付的购物车。纽约长岛市的Ctown和Foodcellar就已经在自家超市里使用起了Caper。目前还不清楚亚马逊是否会将Dash Cart卖给其他商店还是会自营。

Amazon.com Inc. has developed a smart shopping cart that will ring up purchases and let consumers check out more speedily. Equipped with a flat screen, the Dash Cart will debut at a new kind of supermarket Amazon is opening later this year in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, the company said Tuesday. The e-commerce giant has been trying to stand out in the competitive physical retail market, most notably with its Amazon Go convenience stores that automate the checkout process. Installing Amazon Go technology in existing stores would require shutting the location down for an extended period. By contrast, smart carts can be deployed without disrupting operations. It’s unclear if Amazon plans to license the Dash Cart to other retailers, but it already has competition: Caper and Veeve both sell carts that let shoppers scan products as they roam the aisles. Caper, for instance, is used in Ctown and Foodcellar in Long Island City, New York.
