Try the ones at Home Depot. Pretty sure they developed it in-house.
It may not prevent loss but from a customer experience, a good barcode scanning gun and legible barcodes is about as friction free as it gets.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoHome depot is so overengineered. They are using 24” high res touchscreen pcs with an i7 to just run self checkout. Whoever locked in that contract must be pretty pleased.
- Dylan16807 2y agoA couple hundred dollars is nothing compared to the costs surrounding that PC. Compared to how often systems like that get underbuilt and laggy, using an i7 is a good choice.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoYeah but its self checkout. Self checkout had no lag when it came out like 15 years ago. What did the engineers do to their codebase to require a modern i7, I wonder?
- CodeWriter23 2y agoEvery other checkout I’ve used has lag time after the scan and until the scale settles. Some even have visual feedback that indicates a busy status during this repeating part of the checkout process. Not to mention the human lag time of moving the product to the scale. There is no scale on the Home Depot units. You can scan as fast as the scan gun accepts scans. I’ve scanned 2-3 items per second with these. Using an I7 is a move to future proof. These units will likely be in service 10, maybe 15 years from now.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoI am sure they are on a three year replacement cycle like every other piece of enterprise compute. Home depot is also not the only place to do fast scanning. Grocers have always been able to scan instantly as long as I’ve been alive at least.
