Intelligent Stores

Intelligent Stores

Using data from cameras and sensors, retailers are leveraging AI to reduce shrinkage, eliminate stockout, and gain visibility into customer behaviors. The same infrastructure can also power faster checkouts. Explore the five ways retailers are using AI to create intelligent stores: public safety, asset protection, store analytics, autonomous shopping, and store operations.

Forecasting and Inventory Management

Forecasting and Inventory Management

Using AI and predictive analytics, retailers are improving demand forecasting and inventory management. By tapping into data insights from various sources, they’re ensuring the right products are in the right store at the right time and optimizing their supply chains.​

AI in Warehouse Logistics

AI in Warehouse Logistics

Warehouse logistics is the art of optimizing, integrating, automating, and managing the flow of products in fulfillment or distribution centers. Combining NVIDIA’s AI solutions for intelligent video analytics (IVA), robotics, automation, and supply chain management leads to operational efficiency and a higher process throughput.

Warehouse robots processing orders can evaluate all variables before making decisions and adapt as situations change. With automated reporting, they can optimize routes, delivering end-to-end visibility and increased accuracy of the orders being picked, packed, and shipped.​

NVIDIA ReOpt is an AI logistics software API that enables developers to achieve these near-real-time, dynamic routing optimizations.

Recommendation and Visual Search

Recommendation and Visual Search

Understanding customer behavior has never been more critical for retailers looking to drive growth. ​AI applications powered by video analytics can give retailers the same visibility into customer behavior ​in stores as they currently have online. ​

With insights into popular aisles, dwell times, and demographics, retailers can improve merchandising and offer real-time promotions in store to increase revenue and provide a better experience. ​

For e-commerce, retailers are using NVIDIA GPU-powered machine learning and deep learning algorithms for faster, more accurate recommendation engines, which can improve revenue by 60 percent.​

NVIDIA EGX Stack

Conversational AI

Natural language processing (NLP) helps retailers personalize customer experiences, turn consumer data into actionable insights, and improve customer service. NVIDIA enables real-time conversational AI by optimizing the training and inference of BERT, a popular NLP model. NVIDIA Riva, which runs on the NVIDIA EGX enterprise platform, also makes it easier for retailers to build and deploy AI applications by fusing deep learning models for speech recognition and speech synthesis, language understanding, and vision.
