Post by Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions

😎 Get out your sunglasses - the brightest minds in retail tech are shining for our annual Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions Summer Invention Challenge. All this month, employees across the organization are submitting creative ideas to help shape the future of retail technology. Participants can submit individually or as teams, with opportunities to win prizes and even potentially have their idea patented. Last year’s winners, Madison Roy and Dan K., focused on improving accessibility at self-checkout by ensuring Toshiba hardware does not incorrectly flag individuals with motor disabilities as engaging in suspicious behavior. Since these systems can sometimes detect atypical movement as potential theft, her solution helps recognize when a person may have a condition like Parkinson’s, ensuring a more inclusive and accurate experience. Can’t wait to see what the best in the business come up with this year to create a better tomorrow for retailers and consumers. 📢 Ready, Set. Invent!
