Alterra Mountain Co., which owns 15 North American mountain resort destinations, has deployed Mashgin's computer vision-powered self-checkout terminals at ski and snowboard resorts to save guests time, according to a press release.

The new self-checkout kiosks at Palisades Tahoe, Big Bear Mountain Resort and Mammoth Mountain in California and Winter Park Resort in Colorado, enable customers to check out in seconds.

Mashgin's multi-tray functionality feature captures multiple trays of food and beverage items and rings each up in a single checkout transaction, making it easy for families or groups to self-checkout multiple trays of food together.

Mashgin uses AI-powered computer vision to recognize and ring up objects up to 10 times faster than traditional checkout with a cashier. The kiosks instantly identify packaged goods, produce and open-plated food items — a burger, bowl of chili, combo meal plate or a piece of fruit — from any angle.

Mashgin uses cameras to identify and read existing visual information such as colors, shapes, sizes and other features in much the same way a human eye does. Items don't have to lie flat or with their barcode exposed to a scanner. Once placed on the kiosk tray, Mashgin instantaneously identifies the items, enabling customers to check out within seconds.
