The Japanese Self Service Cash Register Has Been Launched.

Japan's fast selling group, which operates UNIQLO, decided to import in the group store this summer.

The customers at the shop can pay by themselves.

All goods are equipped with wireless IC tags that can read product information. Customers can pay more quickly at the cashier's desk, so that they can put more energy into serving customers.

Although the popularity of IC tags is slow, the large import of XXX group will effectively promote the use of tags in the retail line.

It is understood that XXX first runs its trial in 4 stores in Tokyo's inner city and Kanagawa County in its low-priced clothing store "GU". If it goes smoothly, it will complete the import of all 300 stores as early as this summer.

Some 840 UNIQLO shops in Japan will also be introduced at the beginning of 2016.

The wireless IC tag is 7.5cm long and 2cm wide, and will be embedded in the price tag.

The customers who come to the store will buy the goods in the shopping basket, then they can instantly count the total price of the goods, pay for cash or credit cards, and then get the merchandise after they are finished.

It is not necessary for the shop assistant to take the goods out again, and the time of the statistics is greatly shortened.

The GU store, which runs on the IC label, says that it takes about 2 minutes before the computation time can now be reduced to 1 minutes.

The standard store of UNIQLO is about 900 square meters, with an average of 28 people working every day. At the rush hour, more than a dozen employees still need to deal with the cashier's work.

This IC label self service checkout system can be used by a store to manage tens of thousands of merchandise information.

If you install the IC tag wireless information reader in the fitting room, you will know the products that you have tried on but not purchased.

The past POS cash register system could not understand.

People's behavior, but if IC tags are used to collect information, they will be able to make appropriate adjustments to marketing and production plans.

Self service cash registers have been introduced in food supermarkets, but the mainstream is bar code.

In terms of clothing sales, IC tags only introduce high-end clothing boutiques such as SHIPS and BEAMS.

Because the price of labels is up to tens of yen before, the goods for low price bands are not cost-effective.

However, the current IC label has dropped to below 10 yen, and the large scale import of XXX group has also increased the possibility of further decline in its price.

With the continuous low price of IC tags, if we can grasp the best seller.

Combined with the system to prevent shortages, it is likely to promote the introduction of other retail stores.
