Hi, I'm Tally, the robot at Kroger
I help keep shelves stocked so shoppers find what they came for.
What is the robot at Kroger?
Tally is an autonomous robot made by Simbe, and the only retail robot certified by UL 3300 to operate safely in public spaces. Moving through the aisles, it builds an up-to-date view of every shelf, including what is in stock. Store teams use that information to restock sooner, so shoppers find more of what they came for.
