According to The Asahi Shimbun, for customers who dread standing in long checkout lines or scanning their purchases, a new high-tech convenience store here promises to make shopping as stress-free as possible.
The Catch & Go store where customers can grab items off shelves and be automatically charged through an app opened near Yokohama Station on Oct. 27. This is the first store of its kind available to the general public, as previously this type of establishment was only available to employees of some companies. The Daiei Inc. supermarket chain and information technology company NTT Data Corp. opened the Catch & Go. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15040117

According to The Australian Financial Review, house prices in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth are predicted to climb by about 12 per cent this year, fuelled by the lingering supply shortfall and increased demand, according to an upgraded forecast by NAB.
The rosier prediction comes as expectations for a housing market recovery over the next few years by property professionals strengthen, with confidence levels hitting their highest levels in about two years. NAB has substantially upgraded its house price predictions from the previous quarter and now expects house prices across the combined capital cities to rise by 8 per cent this year and a further 5 per cent by 2024. https://www.afr.com/property/residential/sydney-brisbane-perth-houses-to-rise-12pc-this-year-nab-20231024-p5eekn
According to The Asahi Shimbun, robotics took over the task of growing rice plants in a paddy here, slashing the time needed for cultivation by 95 percent while simultaneously ensuring an almost comparable level of harvest.
The work was undertaken by Kyoto-based robot maker Tmsuk Co. It marked the first round of testing. Working with Nobeoka city, which is seeking ways to claw back growing tracts of abandoned farmland due to the aging of farmers, Tmsuk is robotizing agricultural procedures in three paddies. The process of creating dedicated beds for seedlings is replaced by a drone’s scattering of seeds directly on rice paddies. Conditions in each of the fields are monitored remotely, so farmers do not need to patrol them periodically. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15026367 |
