Posted April 6, 2026 by Digit7

Introducing AI-powered Smart Shelves gondola cabinets that enables Tap–Grab–Go shopping, eliminates checkout friction, and deliver 24/7 autonomous retail with zero staff

 
Digit7, a leading AI cashierless checkout solutions and smart autonomous store solutions provider, announces the launch of its latest innovation - AI Smart Shelves, a smart glass-door shelving cabinet retail solution built to power cashierless checkout shopping experiences. Designed for modern, high-demand environments, these smart shelves use advanced computer vision and AI to enable frictionless Grab and Go retail, helping businesses transform any location, any space into a fully automated smart micromarket.

Digit7’s Smart Shelves are smart, glass-door locked gondola cabinets for non-refrigerated products. Shoppers simply tap their card, NFC, or digital payment method to unlock the door after pre-authentication, shop freely, and close the door.

Using Computer Vision AI-powered product recognition, the system automatically tracts the items picked or put back with 99.9 accuracy and charges customers only for the items taken once the door closes; eliminating the need for traditional checkout or self-checkout kiosks.

Anti-theft & 0% Shrinkage
Each smart shelves unit operates independently, enabling businesses to deploy multiple units without complex integrations. Fully unattended and automated, the system requires zero staff, while a secure door-lock pre-authentication ensures anti-theft & 0% shrinkage - addressing one of retail’s biggest operational challenges.

Beyond Snacks and Beverages
Designed specifically for ambient (non-refrigerated) goods, businesses can now sell a wide range of products including personal care items, tech accessories, books, toys, gifts, perfumes, watches, travel essentials, and more - expanding revenue opportunities across industries.
