Shopic offers an AI powered clip-on device that turns shopping carts into smart carts. Utilising computer vision algorithms, it identifies items placed in the cart in real-time, while displaying to shoppers product promotions and discounts on related products.

Unlike other smart cart solutions, it looks to me like Shopic’s platform can be applied to any existing shopping cart rather than designing the entire cart from the ground up.  Long term this may not be the best approach, but in the short-term it might help some stores digitize their stores incrementally for lower cost.
