Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia becomes latest major league sports venue to install Mashgin AI powered self-checkout kiosks

Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia has installed Mashgin's AI powered self-checkout kiosks.

With 26 new kiosks positioned around the stadium, Mashgin's second location in Australia, fans can now experience quicker service and spend more time enjoying the game.

Marvel Stadium, known for its retractable roof and modern facilities, opened in 2000.

Home to five Australian Football League (AFL) teams, including the Essendon Bombers and the St Kilda Saints, it also serves as the headquarters for the AFL.

With a seating capacity of over 56,000, it hosts a variety of other events, ranging from cricket matches to concerts.

Over 110 major league sports venues worldwide have installed Mashgin's AI powered self-checkout kiosks.

Higher education

Earlier this year, Mashgin reported deployment of its self-checkout technology at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business in Hanover, New Hampshire.

New touchless kiosks speed up the checkout experience for Tuck students, with average transaction times at Mashgin kiosks said to be between 10 and 16 seconds.

These use AI powered computer vision to recognise and ring up objects up to 10x faster than traditional checkout with a cashier. Mashgin instantly identifies packaged goods, produce, and open plated food items (e.g., a piece of fruit, salad, combo meal plate) from any angle.

Consumers place their items on the kiosks and are ready to pay without barcodes, apps or RFIDs.

“We initially piloted Mashgin’s technology in a 24/7 unmanned convenience store. Our students loved the technology and ease of use,” said Amelia Heidenreich, General Manager of Tuck Dining and Catering. 

“We decided to add a second unit to our dining hall to increase the speed of service, and we may consider deploying more.”

Mashgin’s tech has been deployed at more than 3,700 locations to date.

Over the past year, the firm has been growing its footprint in higher education. Today, its offering is present in 30+ universities and colleges including Texas A&M and Western Colorado.
