On July 8, 2024, the Mago Group together with the Dino retail chain launched the NEXTO SELECT automated store.
Mago for Dino. There is the first automatic store
– This modern, unattended store offers the opportunity to shop 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing customers with a fast, convenient and intuitive purchasing process. NEXTO SELECT is the result of cooperation between a consortium of companies from the MAGO Group: HemiTech and MGL and the Silesian University of Technology. This modern solution changes the way of shopping, the company explains.
A retail outlet with an area of 16.5 sq m. has been designed for maximum efficiency and minimization of costs. Thanks to the use of the latest technologies, launching and equipping an automated store is much cheaper compared to traditional sales points.
Depending on the dimensions of the products, the store can accommodate up to 2,000 items with dimensions (depth 120 mm x width 165 mm x height 325 mm). This quantity changes if the dimensions of the stored products change. The store stock is carried out 1-3 times a week.
