Delek US to install touchless self-checkout at 70 c-stores
AI-powered self-checkout will be available at more than 70 Delek DK convenience stores in Texas by late summer 2021.
Delek US Holdings will implement AI-powered self-checkout at more than 70 Delek DK convenience stores in Texas by late summer 2021, through a partnership with Mashgin. The solution will let customers walk in, select the items they want, place them on the Mashgin kiosk tray and have all items recognized and totalled without the need to scan any barcodes.
Delek is adopting the technology to speed up the in-store shopping experience and improve safety, which remains a concern even at the tail end of the pandemic. Customers can pay with a mobile wallet, credit card or debit card, letting them complete the transaction in as little as 10 seconds with no need to touch anything but their purchased items and their form of payment, according to the company.
“[Our] mantra is prominent on the front signage of all of our new and reimagined stores as a commitment to our brand promise. Mashgin’s autonomous self-checkout is 300% faster, frictionless, and social distance-friendly. Mashgin is the first initiative of a comprehensive innovation strategy Delek is employing to create a unique shopping experience for its customers.” said Tony Miller, EVP at Delek US in a statement.
Delek US Holdings, Inc. is a diversified downstream energy company with assets in petroleum refining, logistics, asphalt, renewable fuels and convenience store retailing.
