Instacart and Wegmans have announced a new partnership that will see the grocer incorporating a series of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smart shopping carts to help enhance the shopper experience. The Instacart Caper Carts will be deployed at the Wegmans Dewitt locations in Syracuse, New York where shoppers will enjoy an immersive experience when perusing the aisles. The carts will enable consumers to keep an eye on how much they are spending by automatically recognizing items as they are placed inside, while also allowing for immediate checkout to skip the line.

Chief Connected Stores Officer at Instacart David McIntosh spoke on the Instacart and Wegmans partnership saying, “Caper Carts are transforming everyday grocery shopping into a faster, more personalized experience. We’re excited to partner with Wegmans – known for their exceptional customer and in-store experience – to bring this technology to their store. Together, we’re delivering customers a delightful and personalized shopping journey.”
