After an 80,000-hour preparation period, the store will be open to the public on May 29. Customers will be able to make purchases quickly, with selected products automatically recognized at the self-checkout register, where the shopping list is checked before payment is completed.
The process uses 5,000 sensors placed throughout the store.
Even though the shopping experience is completely digital, there will be employees in the store ready to answer questions from customers and making sure the shelves are stocked throughout the opening hours.
