New robotic and AI solutions for the future of retail

In case you missed it, we recently unveiled the BrainOS? InventoryAI Suite , a sophisticated retail inventory analytics solution designed to analyze inventory data captured by autonomous mobile robots, and unveiled the ‘Dane AIR?’, a purpose-built inventory scanning robot driven by our BrainOS? Robotics Platform and developed in collaboration with Dane Technologies .

Dane AIR captures shelf images and InventoryAI transforms these images into valuable insights. When combined, these solutions transform the traditional manual ways of monitoring inventory, increasing inefficiency and accuracy.?

With the introduction of Dane AIR?, we are bringing retailers a solution that ensures the precise collection of inventory data in dynamic store environments, while also empowering associates to redirect their focus to other essential tasks.

In addition, our BrainOS? InventoryAI Suite offers an adaptable and comprehensive AI-powered? inventory analytics solution, empowering retailers to leverage in-store data collected by robots like the Dane AIR?. This approach enables retailers to seamlessly integrate intelligence into their operations, leveraging the power of AI to swiftly identify and address critical issues including:

• Out-of-stock items
• Price tag errors
• Promotional compliance issues
• Misplaced products?
• Stock counts (with RFID)?

To showcase our offering and gain an even greater understanding of retailers' challenges, direct engagement is key. That's why we launched this year's journey with a roadshow spanning CES (January 9-12), NRF (January 14-16), and FMI Midwinter (January 18-21). This year, AI dominated the agenda across each event, underscoring its potential to revolutionize the retail sector. Such? discussions ranged from enhancing customer experiences through personalized shopping and predictive analytics, to streamlining operations and supply chain management.

The emphasis on AI and technology reflects a broader industry acknowledgment that the future of retail is intrinsically linked to digital innovation. Our recent discussions with retail executives have underscored the evolving role of AI and robotics in the retail sector as part of this transformation.?

GenAI is gaining significant attention for its potential to enhance operational efficiency and responsiveness within retail. At the same time, robotics has evolved from being a mere novelty to playing a crucial role in cost reduction, team support, and, notably, data collection.??????

As called out by PWC in its article on? Preparing your Data for GenAI , “In order for GenAI to operate with utmost efficiency and effectiveness, a vast assortment of diverse data is imperative.”

The increasing interest from retailers stems from the profound impact robots have on accumulating precise data in vast quantities, which is foundational to the use of GenAI. With robots consistently and accurately collecting information about product availability, shelf placement, and pricing, retailers can build a robust data pipeline that contributes to a significant advancement in retail execution and supply chain management.
