This video explains and demonstrates the technology used by supermarkets in the future. In the video, many technologies are very helpful service at the supermarket. Some of the technologies that caught my attention is the technology PSA (Personal Shopping Assistant),

- Personal Shopping Assistant

PSA is a computer that is attached to the trolley. This technology greatly helps customers when shopping. One of them using future card that is integrated with PSA, the customer can see the shopping list that has been noted previously. In addition, PSA can also give clues as to the location of the goods that customers need.

- Information terminal

 Information terminal serves to provide information about a product to the customer. Such information may include funding and explanations about a product, the location of the product and the customer can also compare one product with another product.

- Smart fridge and smart trolley

 Smart fridge can scan and provide information about the products that have been depleted to the customer. So that customers can know what products to buy. Smart trolley very easy for customers to calculate and specify what products are in the trolley, thus simplifying the customer in payment.

- Comfort future payment and check-out

Both of these technologies are very helpful cashier and the customer in the payment transaction. In addition to speed up the payment process, this technology also reduces queues of customers so that customers feel more comfortable.

Conclusion

In my opinion, given the high enthusiasm for supermarket customers, improving service supermarket with advanced technological support is needed by the customer. In addition to saving time and increasing comfort in the shop, but can also attract other customers and increase profits for the owner of the supermarket.
