A2Z Cust2Mate Files Patent Application for AI-Powered Shopping Cart Inventory Change Indicator System

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / September 12, 2024 / A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. ("A2Z" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AZ)(FRA - WKN:A3CSQ), a global leader in innovative technology solutions, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Cust2Mate Ltd., a leading provider of smart shopping cart solutions, has submitted a patent application for its Shopping Cart Inventory Change Indicator System, a solution designed to address inventory shrinkage issues in retail through the application of advanced technologies, powered sophisticated proprietary artificial intelligence (AI).

In 2023, U.S. retailers suffered an estimated $142 billion in losses due to inventory shrink, 25% more than in 2022, according to a WSJ report, citing figures from investment bank William Blair.

The core of the Shopping Cart Inventory Change Indicator System is its AI-driven anomaly detection module. This module employs deep learning algorithms to monitor and analyze shopper behavior in real-time, identifying patterns that may indicate theft or other irregular activities. Complementing this, the system includes a barcode scanner for item tracking, a computer vision system with high-resolution cameras for product recognition, and a security scale that measures item weight to detect discrepancies.

A key feature of the system is its advanced change detection solution using a camera system. The high-resolution cameras are strategically positioned to capture detailed images of items  placed into or removed from the shopping cart. The computer vision system processes these images to detect any changes, ensuring accurate product recognition and real-time inventory updates. This precise monitoring capability enables the system to identify discrepancies and potential theft attempts, thereby significantly improving inventory accuracy and security.

Mr. Gadi Graus, CEO of A2Z, commented, “A2Z focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence to provide sophisticated solutions for retail challenges. The patent-pending Shopping Cart Inventory Change Indicator System exemplifies this approach, offering an advanced method for inventory management and theft mitigation. As the retail sector evolves, Cust2Mate is committed to developing technologies that enhance operational efficiency and security.”
