Systems and methods for automated customer fulfillment of products

This describes a system for selling regulated products, such as alcohol or cannabis, to consumers. A human agent first verifies a customer's authorization to purchase these goods and grants access to a secure area. Inside, a vending machine scans the customer's identification to confirm their details before dispensing the product.

Why it matters: The need for a human agent for initial verification of regulated goods remains. However, advancements in AI and computer vision since 2018 could now significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of that agent's process and the vending device's subsequent credential scanning and compliance checks.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
