The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Self-checkout adoption is increasing against a backdrop of rising labor costs and labor shortages. However, conventional barcode systems require products to be scanned one at a time and carry the risk of missed scans and incorrect product entries, while processing speed and accuracy vary according to staff experience. The companies aim to improve the efficiency and accuracy of checkout operations through RFID bulk checkout and accelerate the adoption of RFID.
