Embracing the future: What we consider Food Tech

Convenience
We aim to provide easy and quick access to high-quality food and beverages through advanced vending solutions and smart refrigerators.

Sustainability
Our tech innovations are designed with the environment in mind, featuring energy-efficient machines, recyclable packaging, and sustainable sourcing practices.

Personalisation
Leveraging data and AI, we tailor our offerings to meet the unique preferences and dietary needs of our consumers.

Health and safety
Our solutions prioritise hygiene and safety, ensuring consumers have access to safe and healthy food options.

At Selecta, our expertise in Food Tech is exemplified by our Smart Fridges, equipped with advanced smart shelves. These innovative shelves are designed to accurately track inventory and enhance the consumer experience. Here’s how it works:

Advanced technology integration
The smart shelves in our fridges are integrated with weight sensors that can detect the precise weight of each item placed on them. This technology enables us to monitor in real-time what products are being picked up, put back, or taken by the consumer.

Accurate inventory management
It allows for meticulous inventory tracking. We can instantly know what items are in stock, which ones are running low, and when it's time to restock. This ensures that fresh, nutritious meals and drinks are always available for employees and guests.

Consumer interaction
When a consumer selects an item, the smart shelves record the action. If the item is put back, the system recognises it, ensuring that the consumer is only charged for what they ultimately take. This reduces errors and enhances the user experience.

Product information and nutritional transparency
Our Smart Fridges provide consumers with the ability to explore detailed information about the products, including ingredients and nutritional value. This transparency helps consumers make informed choices about what they eat, promoting healthier eating habits.

Convenient payment options
To make transactions seamless, our Smart Fridges support a variety of payment methods. Consumers can pay using credit cards, QR codes, mobile payments, or company cards, catering to different preferences and ensuring a smooth checkout process.

Our Smart Fridges, with their advanced smart shelves, represent a significant advancement in food service technology. They not only make food access more efficient and enjoyable but also ensure a convenient, transparent, and user-friendly experience for all consumers.

Our automated micro markets, such as the Foodies Scan & Go Food Market and Foodies Shop & Go automated retail store, are revolutionising the food and beverage industry with their innovative approach to unattended retail environments. Here’s how our solutions work:

Unattended retail environment
Our micro markets are designed to operate without the need for on-site staff. Consumers can access the market at any time, making it convenient for busy schedules.

Advanced scanning technology
Upon entering the micro market, consumers select their desired items, which are typically displayed on open shelves or in refrigerated units. Each product is equipped with a barcode or RFID tag that can be scanned using scanning stations located within the market.

Seamless checkout process
After selecting their items, consumers proceed to a self-checkout kiosk where they scan their products. The system automatically tallies the total cost and displays it on the kiosk screen.

Variety of payment options
Consumers can choose from a wide range of payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, mobile payments such as Apple Pay or Google Wallet, QR codes, and company cards. This flexibility ensures that consumers can use their preferred payment method, making the transaction quick and convenient.

Wide range of products
The micro markets offer an extensive selection of products, including fresh meals, healthy snacks, beverages, and other convenience items. The variety caters to diverse consumer preferences, ensuring there is something for everyone.

Inventory management and restocking
The micro markets are equipped with advanced telemetry systems that monitor inventory levels in real-time. When an item is running low, the system alerts the supply chain team, ensuring timely restocking and maintaining product availability.

Enhanced consumer experience
The user-friendly interface of the self-checkout kiosks can include features like promotions such as bundle deals and the possibility for the consumer to leave feedback on the shopping experience. This personalisation enhances the overall shopping experience and helps consumers make informed choices.

In today’s fast-paced world, the intersection of food and technology, known as Food Tech, is transforming the way we consume and interact with food. At Selecta, we are pioneers in leveraging Food Tech to create convenient, sustainable, and personalised food experiences.
