SpartanNash is moving beyond pilot stage in its use of an autonomous inventory robot solution.
The grocery retailer/distributor is rolling out the Simbe Robotics Tally AI-based robotic solution across 15 stores in Michigan and Indiana. This move comes following a successful pilot in select D&W Fresh Market stores.
SpartanNash is now implementing the robots in additional Family Fare and Martin's Super Market stores. The retailer intends to leverage the real-time data intelligence that Tally provides to helps ensure customers’ desired items stay fresh, and are adequately stocked and priced competitively.
Tally traverses store aisles throughout the day, leveraging 3D computer vision technology to collect shelf data. It can capture 15,000 to 30,000 products an hour.
