1 The technology behind unmanned stores
► The transformation from traditional retail to new retail and integration with online store is not an easy task and requires a lot of technological means as support. There are several popular ways of judging the purchase of goods.
► One is through RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, each commodity is built-in an electronic chip, and the chip records the name and price of the commodity and other information. When consumers pass through the self-service checkout area, there will be a sensor device to read the information in the chip to determine the purchased goods.
► The other is to use image recognition technology to collect the actions of consumers taking and returning the goods, as well as the changing status of the goods on the shelves to determine whether the goods have been purchased. At the same time, it relies on infrared sensors, pressure sensors and other equipment to confirm the weight and other information of the goods. In this way, supermarkets not only know what consumers bought, but also how much they bought.

2 Turnstile Swing Gates play a vital role
► It is not difficult to find that intelligent turnstile play a crucial role in the first level to identify the user’s admission authority and identity.
► Pre-identification (identity) mode means that users need to identify themselves when opening the door of a smart commodity cabinet or unmanned store. After successful identification, they can go through the intelligent pedestrian turnstile before they can buy the commodities.

● If the unmanned store introduced by Bingo Box, you need to scan the QR code (identity authentication) before entering. If the identification cannot be completed, the consumer cannot pass the intelligent pedestrian turnstile gate.
● For example, in the offline brick-and-mortar store launched by Alibaba, when customers enter the store at the first time, they can scan the QR code at the entrance of the store by opening the “Taobao App” to get an electronic admission ticket. Scan this electronic admission ticket when you pass the intelligent pedestrian turnstile gate and you can enter the store for shopping freely. It is quite convenient and high-efficient.
3 Intelligent access gate suitable for unmanned supermarkets
If you enter an unmanned supermarket, you will find that the smart access gates placed at the door are mostly swing gates. There are 3 Advantages to using swing gates:
► Safer pass, the swing gates which Turboo used in supermarkets, including triple anti-pinch design with infrared sensors, mechanical and current detection, which can sensitively detect the user’s passing status. When the user is in the anti-pinch area or accidentally impacts the barrier panels, the swings will stop moving to prevent the user from being pinched or bumped. Moreover, compared with other types of turnstiles, swing turnstiles have less impact on the human body in unexpected situations.
► Opening and closing speed is fast, so the traffic efficiency is high, which can reduce the user’s entry queuing time. Turboo swing gate can adjust the speed of door opening and closing based on client’s requirements. From the perspective of safety speed, Turboo sets the adjustable speed range to 0.3-0.6 seconds, which can not only meet the needs of quick opening and closing of doors, but also ensure the safety of passage, so that users of supermarkets can have a good experience of passing through the turnstiles.
► Ultra-wide channel 900mm can be set. It is inevitable that there will be users entering and leaving the supermarkets with wheelchairs, strollers and etc. The standard pass width of swing gate cannot meet such needs, which requires the assistance of widening the pass width. Under the condition that the housing does not change, Turboo swing gate can increase the pass width, so that the housing remains consistent with the standard lanes, which will not affect the overall lanes aesthetics.
