Kroger's Camera-Ready Checkout
Kroger supermarkets are battling long checkout lines with infrared cameras that
detect body heat at the entrances and above cash registers at many of its 2,400 locations. The QueVision system is rolled out in about 95% of Kroger stores, including Kroger, King Soopers and Dillons banners. The software predicts, for each store, how long customers will spend shopping based on the day and time, as well as the number of lanes that need to be open. The information is displayed on monitors above the lanes so supervisors can deploy cashiers accordingly.
