Technology for Self-Service Stores

The expert will showcase technology for automated and autonomous supermarkets. RFID enables unique item identification. Items and their best before dates are tracked. Real-time data steers the retail processes in stores and in the supply chain. AI enables smart warehousing, inventory management, logistics and in-store operations.

Learn How to Benefit from Retail Store Automation

  • Increase profits – boost sales by supplying the right goods to stores at the right time.
  • Improve customer experience – enable walk-in walk-out shopping and in-app payment.
  • Reduce food waste – supply the right amount of groceries to each store and remove backstock.
  • Save costs – Use fewer man hours for goods receiving and restocking. 
  • Be sustainable – Cutting CO2 emissions for deliveries and customers.

Enhancing Retail Offerings with E-Commerce

Automated stores are open 24/7. Drastic changes in working processes are not necessary for technology implementation. This enables simple adaptation for both small and large retail stores. With unmanned stores, retail becomes profitable even in areas with low population density.

15 Feb 2024 - 5. Think Day Livestream 2024: Wireless IoT Technologies

As Dr. Jussi Nummela explains: “A small supermarket typically holds between 5,000 and 7,000 items. Automated stores hold between 2,000 and 3,000 key items. Unmanned stores can be combined with e-commerce to improve the offering close to the consumer at a reasonable price.”

The Future of Retail with IoT Technology – Live!

There are many store and shopping concepts. These include traditional brick-and-mortar stores, autonomous stores, and e-commerce deliveries. “Each retailing method has its role, but there is no clear winner”, says Dr. Jussi Nummela. “The Blockstore concept tries to combine the best features of different methods for grocery retail.”
