OK, I guess I am still confused. If IBM and NCR both have useful information in the form of white papers and such via the links shouldn't they both be on here instead of not? Is the issue that these are comercial sites? If so I would argue that the other links are as well. Everyone has an agenda, but
458:
I have to disagree with the statement that there is no benefit to the consumer. From my experience, it is a lot faster to use the self checkout than wait in line at a regular checkstand. Plus, I agree the article is highly biased. Are ATM machines a bad idea because they replace bank tellers? Are
478:
This article is biased and contains poor information. I am willing to make verifiable improvements if the goal here is to represent the truth. If this is just a tit for tat excercise to serve someones agenda then I hardly see the point. Help me unterstand the requirements for the link to stick and
474:
I am new to
Knowledge and have much to learn. I'm trying to understand why the link to NCR's resources - news, info, white papers around Self Checkout, continue to be removed yet IBM's link remains. NCR has about 55% of the installed base and has installed about 2/3rd's of all Self Checkout for the
598:
The first sentence tells me "Self checkout machines automated the process of paying for purchases from a retailer." This doesn't seem right. From the perspective of the customer, all that has changed is that the customer does the work previously done by a checkout attendant. Exactly what has been
634:
In the
Advantages section, it states, "The benefit to the customer is in the reduced checkout time because stores are often able to run two to six self-checkout units efficiently where it normally would have had one cashier." However, the source of this is linked to a page run by Fujitsu that is
416:
wow, so biased: its bad for the economy? what about jobs that are created by makers of machines benefit to consumer is negligible? the cost savings translate to the consumer as well, in a competative environment not to mention these are crappy jobs that are lost
635:
touting its own technology. Nowhere does the page say that the time is reduced b/c of being able to have more checkout capacity; rather it is saying that its unit is faster than previous units b/c of a more streamlined user interface.
390:
A significant amount of informatino has been added. There is still information that could expand on this article, with particular regard to the specifics of the technology used, but should the "Stub" status now be removed?

638:
Also, I am doubtful that it is faster since people will be self-scanning, bagging, and placing it back into their cart, which introduces three problems (theoretically and from personal experience):
793:
648:
items can be placed onto a belt in a traditional checkout lane, thus freeing up space in the cart to placed bagged items, whereas un-scanned items remain in the cart in a self-checkout lane.
459:
self-service elevators a bad idea because it eliminates the need for a elevator operator? Are self-service gas stations a bad idea since it removes the need for a gas station attendant?

last 5 years and exceeds the next closest 2 competitors combined. As the dominant leader in this space I would think a link to NCR's resources would be more than appropriate.
645:
any type of problems require an attendant to be available and come over to check, whereas a cashier can resolve the problem faster (e.g.: check ID for certain products), and

827:

681:(with which I happen to agree), we need to be guided by the sources, and, as you say, the Fujitsu source does not support the "faster" claim. I will remove it.

placing the item in the bag improperly or not placing it in the bagging area will force a delay since the machine does not detect it (which prompts the user),
