Summary
Simbe Robotics announces that its fleet of shelf intelligence robots has passed 3,000 autonomous units, deployed at more than 75 retail banners in about a dozen countries. The Tally robot combines computer vision, RFID and sensors to detect out-of-stocks, pricing errors and misplaced products, with an identification accuracy of 99%, according to the product page. Simbe claims 18 billion tags scanned, 607 million out-of-stocks detected and 5 million hours of autonomous operation. Customers such as Schnuck Markets, BJ's Wholesale Club, Wakefern Food Corp (ShopRite) and Country Supplier are cited as adopters. According to the company, more than 90% of store managers consider that the technology improves their work. Simbe says it now wants to build a "physical intelligence layer" to orchestrate more autonomous store operations.
