Store associates are the face of retail organizations, so it makes sense to reduce the time they spend on tasks that aren’t customer facing, such as performing inventory counts or scanning for out-of-stock situations. Large retailers are using robotics to handle these basic, repetitive tasks. The technology can scan items to check stock levels, correct shelf location, and price accuracy, as well as sort items unloaded from trucks based on priority and department.
Most solution providers use NVIDIA GPUs with the NVIDIA Metropolis edge-to-cloud IVA platform to build warehouse logistics machines, manufacturing robots, and smart assistants for automating repetitive tasks.
