UK supermarkets are reportedly going to adopt facial recognition technology at self-checkouts to verify the age of customers buying products. The pilot scheme will be rolled out in checkout areas in which customers serve themselves by the end of the year. Should the scheme be a success, the technology could be more widely adopted in 2019, as reported by The Telegraph. NCR is an American company which develops point-of-sale (PoS) systems for organizations worldwide. Customers include Tesco, Asda, and other supermarkets across the United Kingdom and beyond.
