The first cashier-free supermarket in the region inaugurated in Dubai: Epta is at the helm of change with remote-controlled counters

“The world of Retail is evolving and digital transformation will be the engine of change. Customers are increasingly demanding and they are asking for a fast, pleasant and safe shopping experience. The innovation will support Retailers in this paradigm shift: among the different technologies available, those that stand out are artificial intelligence and Scan & Go devices, to simplify in-store shopping and guarantee social distancing. Countries such as the United States, France and Sweden, but also China, Japan and South Korea are focusing on the so-called unmanned stores”, stated Matteo Dipentina, General Manager of Epta Middle East. "Advanced stores require solutions capable of guaranteeing constant performance: an example is the counters of our brands that can be equipped with a new latest generation monitoring system capable of responding perfectly to the needs of AI-powered stores. Several successful applications of the Group both in France and, more recently, in the United Arab Emirates with the inauguration of the first cashier-free store were designed from the earliest stages in collaboration with Epta."
