Amazon "cashless" supermarket technology is coming to Brookfield

CNBC has the details regarding Amazon's new supermarket that's set to open in Brookfield.

Amazon’s cashierless checkout technology could soon be coming to its growing line of Fresh grocery stores.

Features of Amazon’s automated checkout technology, called “Just Walk Out,” appear in planning documents for a store under construction in a suburban shopping plaza in Brookfield, Connecticut. The technology allows customers to skip the checkout line by tracking any items they grab and charging them when they leave.

The documents show gated entry and exit lanes at the front of the store, where shoppers would presumably scan an app or credit card as they come in, as well as hardware to potentially house ceiling-mounted cameras that track which items shoppers pick up in the store. The documents also mention an electronic shelving system, a feature Amazon has deployed in its Fresh and cashierless Go convenience stores.

Additionally, a large staging area appears at the front of the proposed store layout. Fresh stores have a dedicated section where customers can pick up amazon.com or grocery orders placed online or return their packages for free.
