Preventing theft at self-checkout with a new generation self-service security system

2020-02-19

Having invested more than 0.3 mln EUR,  Neto Baltic has developed a three-level self-service security solution to prevent theft at self-checkout.

When buying items at the self-checkout, they are now recognized by the barcode and weight. However, the use of these two technologies does not prevent fraudulent shoppers.

By combining item tag deactivation, weight-based security system with computer vision and artificial intelligence technology Neto Baltic has developed a unique solution to significantly reduce losses at self-checkouts. The system will estimate each item to be purchased recognizing it by three dimensions: the item’s bar code, weight, and real image, and will alert the store staff to discrepancies.

“By using a three-level self-service security solution, the potential for fraud at self-checkout is reduced to a minimum. This is especially relevant with the growing popularity of self-checkout and other self-service solutions in the market. We truly believe that our solution will further increase the spread of self-service systems not only in major grocery retail chains but also in other retail verticals,” says Evaldas Budvilaitis, Chairman of the Board of Neto Baltic.

According to him, the need for developing a three-level self-service security solution was dictated by the habits of  Western markets and dishonest shoppers trying to circumvent the existing level of security.

As Checkpoint’s partner Neto Baltic also powered Self Checkout security solution with intelligent RF labels deactivation and hard tags removal options.
