US-based foodservice company Aramark has partnered with technology company Mashgin to expand the use of artificial intelligence (AI) across Major League Baseball (MLB) stadiums.

As part of the partnership, Mashgin will deploy AI-powered express self-checkout kiosks that can scan multiple items without barcodes at once using computer vision. This is expected to reduce waiting time for customers in retail checkout lines.

Aramark has deployed Mashgin units across its ballpark portfolio under its new Walk Thru Bru grab-and-go beverage market concept.

Customers can use the Mashgin units to add the required items, where they are scanned simultaneously for quick payment.

Aramark senior vice-president and chief digital information officer Mike Giresi said: “We can offer even more convenient and personalised consumer experiences with new digital technology that is powered by artificial intelligence.

“Every application we build, based on AI, feeds data back into itself and provides us insights to be smarter not only about our operations, but also the needs and preferences of our clients and consumers.
