Even cabaret artists are now pointing out the vulnerabilities of self-checkouts.
It's therefore not surprising that more and more people seem to view the manipulation of these systems as a sport or a minor offense. Combined with the criminally motivated individuals, the financial damage to these checkout systems is continuously increasing.
The resulting annual damage across Europe currently amounts to hundreds of billions of euros.
Most manipulations occur during scanning and item deposit at the checkout. The checkout only checks the weight, which allows items other than scanned ones to be placed at the checkout without generating an error.
Existing security systems have not yet been able to successfully resolve this problem.
PosSecure closes the security gap between the scanner and the checkout by comparing the items being deposited at the checkout with the previously scanned item.
PosSecure uses AI to detect whether the item being placed in the checkout is actually identical to the scanned item. If there is a discrepancy, it locks the checkout and notifies the staff.
We have filed a patent application for PosSecure as an article lock for self-checkout systems with the German Patent Office under the reference number 20 2025 000 626.6. The international application is currently being prepared and will be completed within priority.
PosSecure can be used for any checkout and easily combined with self-checkout systems. We offer various PosSecure versions depending on your security needs.
