How it works
How AI smart coolers work
Tap, grab and go for your customers. Real-time data for you. Here is what happens inside the cooler — and in the operator app.
At the cooler
For shoppers: tap, grab, go
01
Tap
Tap a card or phone on the touchscreen POS. The door unlocks.
02
Grab
Take what you want from the shelves — browse like a fridge.
03
Go
Close the door and walk away. The card is charged for exactly what was taken.
No PIN, no app download and no account setup.
AI vision
Cameras that see every item
Built-in cameras and sensors recognise each product a customer takes the moment the door opens, at roughly 99% accuracy across every category. Recognition takes about 60 seconds, and new products can be added fast.
On a rare miss, the operator is notified in the app and can adjust the order in seconds — so your revenue stays accurate without you standing next to the machine.
