Instacart, Wegmans announce the launch of Caper Carts

Instacart (CART) announced the launch of Caper Carts – Instacart’s AI-powered smart carts – at Wegmans Dewitt in Syracuse, New York. This marks the first deployment of Caper Carts at Wegmans, as part of an initial in-store program offering customers a smarter, more seamless way to shop in-store. Caper Carts enable customers to track their spending and check out seamlessly. Caper Carts automatically recognize items as they are dropped into the cart and customers can bag as they shop, tapping signals from an array of Caper Cart cameras, digital scale, and location sensors connected to Nvidia (NVDA) Jetson hardware. Wegmans customers can login to their Shoppers Club account on the cart’s screen in order to shop with a Caper Cart.
