Simbe Robots Roll Deep into Grocery Aisles with Schnuck Markets Expansion
Shoppers at the midwest-region grocery store Schnuck Markets Inc. will soon share the aisles with an increasing number of automated inventory-counting robots, after that Saint Louis-based company said today it would deploy the bots in more than half of its stores.
The move expands a program that began three years ago when Schnuck Markets launched San Francisco-based Simbe Robotics’ autonomous “Tally” robot in about two dozen locations. Schnucks first piloted Tally in July of 2017 and expanded to additional stores in 2018, using the bots to cruise store aisles two to three times per day and capture inventory for approximately 35,000 products per store.
Simbe’s Tally bot will now roll into an additional 46 stores, bringing its real-time data gathering to a total of 62 Schnuck Markets sites. The chain operates a total of 112 stores throughout Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
