Unmanned store </ strong>
The concept fire started last year
Many people worry
Convenience store like 7-11
Will it be challenged by artificial intelligence?
The answer is not
Because 7-11 also no convenience store entry it!
They are the first unmanned convenience store in China
Opened at headquarters in Taipei
Also played a domineering name "X-Store"
Compared with the ordinary store ordinary design
X-Store on the more foreign
Silver gray facades
Catch the blue light
Futuristic feeling perfect!
Look closely
Found that even 7-11 iconic orange green red trademark have changed
Changed to look like this
See the eye-catching next to the "X"
Mathematical enthusiasts on the station stand the first reaction
This is not unknown
So X-Store is not
"Unfamiliar store" mean?
The shop really has a lot of "unknown"
After all, no real business
All kinds of high technology have to be used
X-Store is said to employ more than 20 artificial intelligence technologies
Such as facial features biometrics
Product identification, electronic tags
Smart language system, automatic payment system and so on
In-store refrigerators are automatically sensed
When you approach will automatically open
The shelves also have a small display
Scroll to broadcast a small video about product information
These are just some of the experiences in Hollywood movies
Let users shouted:
Too smart! Walk in like crossing to the future!
This unmanned convenience store covers an area of 60 square meters
Launched more than 900 kinds of regular sales of goods
It is indeed lower than the average 711 stores
Area of 100 square meters or more
The total number of goods in 2000 up and down the configuration
I can think of a change can understand
Some semi-processed foods like oden, tea eggs and the like
Obviously no way to sell it
Otherwise let the customer cook for themselves
Does not seem suitable
Currently, this X-Store also belongs to the internal testing phase
Operating hours as early as 7:00 to 7:00
Only open to 7-11 internal staff
Wait for them to find out the most complete business model
Re-enter the domestic market
And to promote to the world
"New Retail" is definitely one of the hottest topics in venture capital last year
I remember in 2016 in Hangzhou Yunqi Conference
Jack Ma first proposed the concept of "new retail."
Also categorically said
"In the next decade, there will be no e-commerce for two decades
Only new retail "
Shortly after, Ma Dad's unmanned supermarket "Amoy coffee"
Appearance in Hangzhou
Jingdong followed
Opened in Beijing headquarters building home unmanned convenience store
Tencent also immediately joined the unmanned retail army
This "unmanned store" this gale is not only popular in the country
Also scrape to foreign countries
In January this year, much attention
Amazon Go officially open
Long queues outside the door
Not to buy things
Mainly to experience
"Take it away"
"Do not queue to pay for" pleasure
Unmanned stores in addition to more convenient to buy outside
Can ease a lot of embarrassment
For example, when buying things
Purchasing Guide finally no longer follow the same tail behind
Buy a TT or aunt towel
Do not be embarrassed anymore
However, no one convenience store users or mixed reputation
Machine can really completely replace it?
Unmanaged will not allow some people with ulterior motives to take advantage?
These are questions people are worried about
In the "unmanned convenience store" has swept the world
Even the convenience store giant 7-11 also began to test the water at the time
The family still firmly said no
They said in an interview
"If we open no one store, franchisees do not have to play all"
Unpredictable "unmanned store"
Last year, pocketed the attention of the general public
And it really is spending upgrades
Or just a racket brain conceived of "virtual fire"
Still to be verified by time
