wine SSEM, the world’s first AI unmanned wine vending machine

People Who Create Imagination is a company that has developed and is operating the world’s first AI wine unmanned sales platform ‘Wine SSEM’, which recommends wine by matching 9 analyzed graphs and an AI sommelier with your own database. wine SSEM is a wine vending machine that allows you to purchase the wine you want without the help of a wine expert. Its AI Soblier analyzes wine taste based on scientific and quantifiable data and recommends the optimal wine to customers based on wine and customer database. This technology was developed through collaboration with Seoul National University Research Institute, and helps consumers intuitively understand the taste of wine by analyzing and quantifying nine tastes of wine. If a buyer specifies the taste of their preferred wine by type through ‘My Wine Graph’, they can scroll through and purchase 10 types of wine with a high matching rate. Even if you do not have a favorite wine, the taste of the wine you encounter for the first time is explained with intuitive and objective data, and the database of customers accumulated in this process continues to be used for the next purchase.
