UST Walk-In Walk-Out: Autonomous Retail with Computer Vision

Overview

UST Walk-In Walk-Out (WiWo) delivers a fully autonomous, frictionless retail experience where shoppers simply enter, pick their items, and walk out—no scanning, no kiosks, and no checkout lines.

Designed for high-frequency environments such as airports, corporate campuses, hospitals, and residential communities, WiWo uses advanced computer vision, AI, IoT sensor fusion, and edge computing to track every product interaction with precise SKU-level accuracy. Transactions are calculated automatically, and digital receipts are issued within minutes, enabling a seamless, modern shopping journey.

Built on a cloud-native architecture powered by AWS, WiWo supports real-time analytics, remote store management, and multi-site scalability. Edge processing ensures low-latency item recognition and billing, while AWS cloud services handle centralized reporting, performance monitoring, and continuous optimization.
