The technology "built from A to Z in-house" by the Casino group, owner of Monoprix, is based solely on an intelligent food weighing system developed by Shekel Brainweigh. It is not essential to download an application either, as access to the container store is done directly with your bank card. The margin of error would be minimal, according to the sign, of the order of 1% after the few weeks of tests carried out by the 1,200 employees of the headquarters.

'A dozen openings on this model' scheduled for 2021

Monoprix wants to set up these new independent stores in "flow areas", such as train stations or airports, campuses or even hospital car parks. This point-of-sale format avoids the cost of renting square meters, but also personnel costs or time-consuming authorization requests. Two parking spaces, an electrical supply and a 4G connection allow the container to be put into operation, once equipped.

The technology developed is based on a weighing solution that makes it possible to identify items using sensors, which identify variations in weight, and artificial intelligence algorithms from the Israeli start-up Shekel. The device does not include image recognition of objects, the sign however indicates "an error rate of 1%".
