In accordance with the convenience and lifestyle of today, the introduction of EzyCart can be considered as a practical solution in simplifying the shopping experience. It is a smart shopping trolley based on artificial intelligence (AI) developed by NanoMalaysia Berhad in collaboration with retail automation solution provider Retailetics Sdn Bhd.
Unlike a normal trolley, a built-in touch screen is included which also displays various product information and promotions in the store. It is also equipped with multiple authentication systems that can be used for bar code scanning and item weight verification, while also being combined with high-tech sensors that are said to be able to prevent the risk of theft.
Not only that, an e-wallet system is also provided for the purpose of making it easier for users to make payments directly from the trolley used. Payment can be made using a credit or debit card by touching the included screen. This means no more queuing at the counter to pay for goods. For safety purposes, this trolley is also equipped with antibacterial nano technology to ensure that the surface remains clean for a long time.
An estimated RM1 billion has been allocated for the development of this trolley. A total of 10 units are available at the initial stage which will be used in selected supermarkets such as Redtick, Lotus and Jaya Grocer.
