REWE To Go in Koblenz
Premiere: Cashierless at the main station
by Ingo Gschwilm

In future, travellers, commuters and local residents will be able to buy snacks and drinks at Koblenz main station seven days a week. The unmanned REWE To Go, which Lekkerland has opened in the station, offers this option.

Snacks, drinks or coffee: thanks to the newly opened REWE To Go, the main railway station in Koblenz is now supplied around the clock. The product range of the 65 square metre convenience shop mainly includes products for immediate consumption or on the go, such as sandwiches, wraps, salads, sweets, salty snacks such as crisps, drinks, coffee specialities and tobacco products. There are also selected food and drugstore items.

Simple and intuitive
Shopping in the shop is simple and intuitive: customers first scan a cashless payment method. Girocards, debit and credit cards as well as Google Pay and Apple Pay are accepted. Customers can then pick the products they want from the fridges. Artificial intelligence, supported by cameras and weight sensors, recognises which items have been removed and automatically deducts the invoice amount. When purchasing tobacco products and alcohol, age verification is first required by scanning an ID card or driving licence.

"Promising potential"
"High-frequency locations such as railway stations and airports offer promising potential for unmanned shop concepts," said Mehmet Tözge, Vice President Smart Stores at Lekkerland, at the opening. "We are therefore very excited to see how this shop will be received by customers."

Christopher Wohlfarth, Head of Commercial Sales in DB's Central Regional Division, added: "With this shop, a convenient, quick shopping option is moving into Koblenz main station - in line with our goal of offering travellers and station visitors an attractive station with innovative services."

With the location in Koblenz, Lekkerland operates 18 unmanned shops across Germany. Other locations include loading bays, hospitals and office buildings.

Better baking with artificial intelligence
We're all familiar with the tiresome discussion at the breakfast table: one time the bread roll is too soft, the next time it's far too dark. The reason: the dough was baked too short or too long, perhaps not at the right temperature. In short: an unsatisfactory situation, and not just for customers. We had a REWE supermarket show us how it could be done better.
