On the morning of December 2, Beijing time, it was reported that Amazon had previously developed cashless settlement technology for brick-and-mortar stores, and now Amazon wants to promote the technology to more industries.

In recent years, Amazon has opened a number of stores without cashiers, equipped with cameras and sensors that can determine what consumers are taking and settle accounts automatically when they go out. Since 2020, Amazon has been promoting the settlement system to the food and snack market, deployed in airports, university stadiums and convention centers.

Amazon vice president Dileep Kumar (Dilip Kumar) pointed out that the company wanted to increase sales of cashless settlement technology and moved the team to the cloud computing division in August. "now that they are part of AWS, the team will certainly be able to reach more types of customers," Kumar said. " "if I was completely focused on convenience stores and grocery stores, there would be no reason to talk to the hospital," he said. "

Amazon has made a lot of efforts to reduce consumer waiting time, but faces many technical challenges. Amazon began to come up with the concept of cashless settlement in 2016, but until now it has not subverted the physical retail market as early as expected.

Amazon introduced cashless settlement technology at the T-Mobile Park Stadium in Seattle Major League Baseball (Major League Basebal) this year, and store sales have increased 2-3 times, Kumar said. He also said that Amazon, which bought a company called Watasale in India, is also promoting cashless settlement technology.
