Swyft to Offer Patented Contactless Shopping Option at O’Hare International Airport

Swyft announced it will provide contactless shopping and robotic stores at O’Hare International Airport.

The company’s unique touchless technology, patented in 2014 and launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, allows travelers to quickly and safely purchase retail products from robotic stores without touching any products or interacting with any salespeople.

Travelers simply scan a QR code with the camera on their phone and complete their purchase using contactless payment while a robotic arm fetches and delivers their product.

Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot introduced the ordinance providing for new concession agreements at the airport. The agreements followed a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) issued in July 2020 to provide passengers with a variety of new low-touch amenities.
