"Just Walk Out" (JWO) is a new and innovative service at stores across stadiums, airports, convenience, and more! Just Walk Out technology allows shoppers to enter a store, grab whatever they want, and quickly get back to their day, without having to wait in a checkout line or stop at a cashier.
Customers enter or exit the store with a payment method, bypassing a checkout-line. The technology uses camera vision and sensor fusion, or RFID technology which allows them to simply walk away with their items.By removing the checkout, retailers can increase merchandising space, move more customers through the store, and provide a frictionless shopping experience.
