SeeChange Taps Diebold Nixdorf to Create AI Checkout Tools

— July 18, 2024 — Tech
SeeChange Technologies, a company known for its retail-focused computer vision AI technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Diebold Nixdorf, a global leader in retail consumer and staff journey solutions, to introduce an innovative series of AI-powered self-checkout solutions.

The collaboration leverages Diebold Nixdorf’s Vynamic Smart Vision technology, which incorporates SeeWare machine learning to accurately identify fruits, vegetables, baked goods, and other items lacking barcodes.

By utilizing SeeWare's edge-to-cloud AI capabilities, Diebold Nixdorf is enhancing its self-checkout systems with sophisticated product recognition features, significantly reducing friction at checkout points and elevating the overall customer experience.

“Our partnership with Diebold Nixdorf is the next step in the evolution of self-service checkout – a smart SCO system that uses visual recognition and AI to recognize purchases,” said Jason Souloglou, CEO of SeeChange. “Fresh Produce Recognition is only the start of a new generation of SCO technology that simplifies customer checkout, cuts transaction times and reduces loss for retailers.”
