E-commerce giant JD has introduced its unmanned store technology in a foreign market for the first time.
Jakarta’s new JD.ID X-Mart, a 270sqm AI-powered experience store located in Pik Avenue shopping mall, is the first of its kind in Indonesia and the largest to use JD’s unmanned store technology to date. Customers are encouraged to pick up whatever they want and walk straight out of the store without needing to wait for lines or payments.
The technology premiered in Beijing last year and has since become increasingly sophisticated with the application of facial recognition and other advanced computer vision technologies.
JD now operates more than 20 unmanned stores across China.
