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

AI is also improving demand forecasting and inventory management. Demand forecasting uses data from various sources to ensure the right products are available in the right store at the right time. ​

Using machine learning to improve forecast accuracy has a significant impact on optimizing the supply chain.​

Effective forecasting takes more than demographics and location into consideration. Many external events such as weather or local sporting events can impact supply and demand too. Leveraging NVIDIA RAPIDS™ software libraries on NVIDIA GPUs, retailers can accelerate training of their machine learning algorithms by up to 20X. This means that they can use more data and process it faster with more accuracy. ​

Walmart Improves Forecasting

Walmart Improves Forecasting

Walmart, for example, has trained their machine learning algorithms 20X faster with RAPIDS open-source data processing and machine learning libraries. Built on CUDA-X AI™ and leveraging NVIDIA GPUs, RAPIDS has enabled Walmart to get the right products to the right stores more efficiently, react in real time to shopper trends, and realize inventory cost savings at scale.

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 management in supply chains leads to operational efficiency and higher process throughput.

GPU-powered AI adds a level of consciousness to the operation, leveraging physical. 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.​

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 GPU-powered machine learning and deep learning algorithms for faster, more accurate recommendation engines, which can improve revenue by 60 percent.​

Conversational AI

Conversational AI

Natural language processing (NLP) is helping retailers personalize experiences for customers and improve customer service. It’s also used to compile and analyze consumer data to derive actionable insights. NVIDIA is enabling real-time conversational AI by optimizing the training and inference of BERT, a popular NLP model.

NVIDIA Jarvis is a platform for building and deploying AI applications that fuse deep learning models for speech recognition and speech synthesis, language understanding, and vision. Jarvis runs on the NVIDIA EGX stack, which is compatible with all commercially available Kubernetes infrastructure.
