Users link their facial data with information on their prepaid cards. Even if they are wearing a mask, the AI recognizes their face. The AI performs automatic price reductions based on inventory and expiration dates in the fresh produce section. Bento boxes and side dishes are automatically discounted too. The system eliminates the labor required to apply discount stickers and reduces food loss. According to Trial, the company hopes to reduce labor costs in new stores by 25% by concentrating on cutting-edge technology. Eventually, the company hopes to reduce labor costs by 50%. The company hopes to open several stores with similar features by the end of the year. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=8524021&amp;ymd=2022-04-20\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-146052\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_trial-miyawaka_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kyushu's Highest Tech Supermarket Opened in Miyawaka City\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_trial-miyawaka_2022_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_trial-miyawaka_2022_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_trial-miyawaka_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_trial-miyawaka_2022_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English reliably.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
