AI-Powered Intelligent Retail Stores

Building Intelligent Stores With AI

With AI-enabled intelligent stores, retailers are reducing shrinkage, eliminating stockout, and gaining visibility into in-store customer behavior to optimize merchandising. Data from cameras and sensors provides valuable analytics that improve decision making, operations, and efficiency. And the same infrastructure can be used for a faster customer checkout experience, including fully automated checkout systems.

Use Cases

Discover How Intelligent Stores Are Using AI

Asset Protection

Prevent shrinkage at the point of sale.

Retailers worldwide are losing over $100 billion per year to shrinkage, and half of that is happening in North America. Intelligent video analytics (IVA) can accurately and efficiently reduce shrinkage. By improving asset protection at points-of-sale and reducing shoplifting throughout the store, employees can work to stop loss in real time. Using existing camera systems, retailers can install IVA applications from NVIDIA software partners to improve asset protection and significantly reduce shrinkage.

Store Simulation

Enhance store layout and optimize merchandising.

Virtual worlds are essential for the next era of retail. Retailers such as Lowe’s are exploring how NVIDIA Omniverse™ can help them improve their stores with digital twins, simulation, and advanced tools that remove friction for customers and associates.

Autonomous Shopping

Provide a check-out free experience to shoppers.

Intelligent grab-and-go stores, where customers use their mobile phones to check out, are jumping in popularity. Solutions range from AI-enabled shopping carts, to nano stores and smart cabinets, to fully autonomous stores. With these solutions, retailers can provide customers with frictionless and faster shopping experiences, while increasing revenue and margins.

Customer and Store Analytics

Gain actionable store insights.

Online-shopping data and in-store data generated from point-of-sale transactions, cameras, and sensors are rife with insights that help determine customer preferences. IVA data can provide demographics and create heatmaps to reveal popular traffic areas inside stores.

Retailers are using this data to better understand customer behavior and buying preferences, deliver revenue-driving online and in-aisle promotions, and create enhanced shopping experiences.

Stockout and Inventory Management

Reduce repetitive tasks for retail associates.

When U.S. consumers are confronted with empty shelves, 20 percent postpone their purchase, 10 percent purchase the item elsewhere, and 16 percent shift to an online source, leading to retailers losing 46 percent of possible sales.

Large retailers are using AI to handle critical, repetitive tasks such as inventory counts or scanning for out-of-stock situations. NVIDIA Metropolis can scan items to check stock levels and alert associates to restock, correct shelf location, and even adjust prices when needed.

If you look at these coordinated teams of organized operators and theft, self-checkout is the land of opportunity. So we’ve got to stay one step ahead of them and we’re going to accomplish that through AI.

– Mike Lamb, Vice President, Asset Protection & Safety, Kroger

The digital twin journey for us actually started a few years ago when we really started to think about how technology can revolutionize the store experience for our customers and our associates. How might we make associate jobs a little easier, giving them more time with customers? How might we ensure our stores are stocked with products? These questions led us to NVIDIA Omniverse.

– Cheryl Friedman, Vice President, Lowe’s Innovation Labs, Lowe's

We don’t have the same type of problems as big box stores, a lot of ours is around fuel theft. We’re leveraging RadiusAI along with Lenovo and NVIDIA to help with that.

– Robert Hampton, VP Technology Services and Innovation, Jacksons Food Stores
