Shekel’s smart cart technology is a flexible and powerful frictionless shopping solution that increases the efficiency and safety of retailers’ daily operations. Comprising secure scales and Shekel’s product identification technology, the Smart Weighing System measures and identifies fresh produce and packaged items at high speed with exceptional accuracy.

When customers shop, Shekel’s smart cart system automatically carts and weigh them quickly and accurately. Shoppers can simply select their products and walk out the door without waiting in long lines at the checkout.”
Smart trolley technology features a plug-and-play configuration, ensuring the solution can be installed on all common shopping cart designs and can be retrofitted to existing trolleys in less than a minute by installing an NTEP approved scale on the built-in trolley mechanism . The modular SKU identification feature is based on Shekel’s legal trade scale, utilizing the company’s proprietary big data and AI algorithms, and a proven system for learning the weight distribution of grocery products. The solution also captures valuable data that can be used for analysis to help retailers meet current demand and predict future demand from consumers.
