Midwest grocer Schnuck Markets is expanding its pilot of autonomous robots that spot out-of-stocks, detect incorrect prices and help optimize planograms, among other tasks, to at least 15 of its stores, aiming to free up time for employees to perform other tasks.
The deal continues Schnucks' partnership with Simbe Robotics, which began piloting the Tally grocery technology in Schnucks' stores last July.
