Customers carry their purchases as they leave the U.K.'s first branch of Amazon Fresh in the Ealing area of London, England, March 4, 2021.
Amazon on Tuesday announced a new version of its cashierless checkout system, allowing customers to buy clothing without having to wait in line.
The updated version of the company's Just Walk Out system incorporates radio-frequency identification, or RFID, technology, and each item in a store will feature an RFID tag.
Avery Dennison, a materials science and digital identification company, built the RFID technology, according to Amazon.
If retailers adopt the technology, it could mark a significant expansion for Amazon's Just Walk Out system.
