Robot EMA50 with sophisticated sensors, cameras and WiFi on board
Future vision for retail with robotics, AI and machine learning
Inventory inaccuracy costs retailers worldwide enormous sums of money every year. Customers can't find the goods they want, and employees have to spend a lot of time constantly checking and correcting.
The SmartSight solution detects shelf gaps almost in real time, checks price labels, analyzes the data, and immediately passes on specific correction instructions.
The Supermarket as a Black Box
Increasing efficiency in the store and achieving price consistency – these are the goals of EMA50. Customers need to find the goods they are looking for quickly and easily. If, for example, products are advertised with the wrong price, this has a negative impact on customer satisfaction by the time they reach the checkout. The SmartSight solution detects shelf gaps almost in real time, checks price labels, analyzes the data, and immediately passes on specific correction instructions to management or directly to staff. The result of numerous pilot phases: Shows inventory availabilities of over 95 percent.
Advanced Sensor Technology
The EMA50 robot is the central hardware in the SmartSight solution. The unit features sophisticated sensor technology to reduce staff workload and to ensure safe operation during opening hours. The solution is designed as a subscription and is based on how many stores the implementation is to take place in. The service package includes delivery and integration of the EMA50, as well as the configuration and tuning of the system to the store. The setup of the Retail Automation Platform, all maintenance work and updates for the hardware and software, as well as the disposal of all components at the end of the lifecycle are included.
