Retail’s BIG Show, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich delivered a keynote to a crowded room of retailers, highlighting the important role of data and smart and connected solutions in transforming the retail industry, and the continuation of the company’s commitment to expanding the boundaries of technology to make amazing experiences possible.
Krzanich also demonstrated Simbe Robotics’ Tally, the world’s first robotic autonomous shelf auditing and analytics solution for retail. Tally works in concert with retail associates by arming them with information to ensure the store’s products are always stocked, in the right place and displaying the correct price tag. The robot operates safely during normal store hours alongside shoppers and employees, and doesn’t require any infrastructure changes to the store. Tally is powered by an Intel® Core™ i7 processor-based Intel® NUC and uses a number of Intel® RealSense™ cameras to help understand the world around it and navigate the store safely. This is a prime example of how Intel’s visionary technology is seamlessly connecting a vast ecosystem of alliances to make the seemingly amazing become status quo for the retail world.
