Self Checkouts are commonly criticized as sources of rampant retail shrink and loss. A large portion of this shrink is related to "honest theft", customers that checkout and pay...but don't scan all of their items or "mis-scan" items. AI item recognition can identify these false scans and alert associates - reducing self checkout shrink and loss.

Many stores already have some of the hardware required for these solutions: Their own camera systems. Depending on the type of system already in the store, these can often be re-used.
To process the data collected by the camera system, most stores will need to deploy additional processing power to support the AI technology that works behind the scenes.
