E-commerce giant Amazon has announced some new news in the second half of 2016. It is an innovative solution that no other company has tried, and it looks like it will change our usual shopping style again.
1. Amazon Dash Button
I think there are many people who buy daily consumption products such as detergent, water, cereal, etc. online. Although there are subscription services, the amount overseas chinese in usa data of use varies from month to month, and it is difficult to think of a service that delivers the product exactly at the time when you run out.
That's where the Amazon Dash Button comes in handy. The service was already available in the US in 2015, so it started in Japan a year later.
Connect a device with a small button for each eligible product to your home Wi-Fi and set it up on the Amazon website (very easy!). Then, when you're running low on an item, you just press the button, which places an order with Amazon and delivers it to your home the same day at the earliest.
You can use it with peace of mind because you can cancel it even if a child or someone else presses it by mistake.

2. Amazon Go
Amazon's new strategy is to use a system called "Just Walk Out." Amazon plans to develop stores that will provide an unprecedented, advanced shopping experience, where customers simply put the items they want in their basket and leave the store to pay.
Customers enter the store by holding the QR code on the app over the gate at the entrance. After that, the camera, microphone, and other sensors recognize the customer's actions, such as putting products on the shelves into their basket and returning them to the shelves. The system also recognizes the inventory of products on the shelves and the movement of products to other shelves by combining various sensors such as infrared and pressure sensors.
If this becomes a reality, there will be no need to allocate human resources to cashiers in stores, so we can expect a significant reduction in labor costs. In addition, things like adding stock will eventually be automated, and the day may come when all display work and ordering work from manufacturers will be replaced by the system.
