With social distancing driving an urgent consumer demand for touchless micro-market self-checkout, Shekel, provider of AI-powered advanced weighing solutions, brings to market the Fast Track.

It is marketed as a touchless, machine-learning, cloudless self-checkout solution enabler. Shekel’s Fast Track eliminates the need for consumers to enter product codes via touch screens by automatically recognizing produce, bakery and specialty items.

“The global COVID-19 pandemic brings the need for a new self-checkout model into sharp focus,” said Mike Valenti, senior research consultant at Frost & Sullivan in a press release. “Shekel’s Fast Track solution answers the demand for grocery and supermarkets to provide safe, touchless and easy-to-use self-checkout solutions to protect both employees and customers.” Valenti noted that the seamless integration of the Shekel solution addresses retailers’ concerns about lengthy installation downtime as well.
