Case Study: 7-Eleven achieves faster, more efficient self-checkout with StudioRed's Quick Check-Out system

7-Eleven speeds up self-checkout with StudioRed in a 2021-2024 redesign

7-Eleven collaborated with StudioRed to develop an automated self-checkout system to reduce labor costs and improve the speed and convenience of the checkout process for its customers. Their challenge was to create a durable and efficient system that could withstand the demanding environment of their stores while remaining accessible for both customers and cashiers to use and troubleshoot.

StudioRed's solution was the Quick Check-out (QCO) system, which leveraged integrated Intel depth sensors and image processing to automatically detect items. Through multiple rounds of prototyping and real-world testing, they optimized the sensor placement, structural integrity, and ergonomics. The resulting design featured a distinctive silhouette, a premium finish, and smart features like a leak-resistant scale. StudioRed's work ensured the system was both highly functional and manufacturable, achieving the client's goals for an enhanced user experience and operational efficiency.
