It is the only patented multi-camera 3D AI checkout, combining several cameras into a real-time 3D model for 99.9% item accuracy.

What are the top computer vision and AI checkout companies in 2026?

AI checkout vendors fall into a few categories:

• Countertop AI checkout identifies items on a tray at the register. Mashgin is the category leader; VisioLab also offers visual checkout.
• Autonomous / walk-out stores use ceiling cameras and sensors to track shoppers through a store. Examples include Amazon Just Walk Out, Zippin, AiFi, and Trigo.
• Smart carts put scanners and screens on the shopping cart. Examples include Caper and Amazon Dash Cart.
• Traditional self-checkout uses barcode-based kiosks, some with added AI features. Examples include NCR and Toshiba.
