Hendrik Ohse, Director of Global Software Sales at Bizerba, is convinced: “Customers at the supermarket are offered a one-of-a-kind shopping experience with our software solutions. From hassle-free in-store ordering and intelligent shelves to a self-service area that's effortless to use and an AI-based self-checkout – everything can be done intuitively, easily, and without long lines."

Among the top exhibits at EuroCIS is the revolutionary Bizerba SmartShelf with integrated weighing technology. Here, each product removed from the shelf is detected and recorded with gram and centimeter accuracy. This means that the intelligent shelves create entirely new opportunities for efficient inventory management and can also be used in non-staffed stores for reliable monitoring. Thanks to continuous digital inventory monitoring, customers can also be guaranteed to always find fresh products such as fruit, vegetables, or pastries. What's more, the SmartShelf makes a notable contribution to waste reduction by providing insight into how sales of certain products vary depending on the day of the week, the time of the day, and even the weather.

Making an appearance on the big stage as well is the Supersmart Scan & Go Loss Prevention System powered by Bizerba. The solution features a validation process unrivaled on the market, which checks in just mere seconds whether customers have scanned all products correctly using cameras and weighing sensors at checkout. Featuring not only intelligent hardware components but also artificial intelligence-based software, Supersmart streamlines checkout times and processes at the point of sale - dramatically reducing lost sales due to shrinkage. Tudor Andronic is responsible for the Supersmart solution and explains: "In self-checkout, many mistakes happen that lead to tremendous losses. This is precisely the problem we address with Supersmart. Retailers can either complement and improve their existing Scan & Go solution with our validation process, or they can get everything from us as a one-stop-shop."
