Making Retail Seamless: Smarter Shelves, Swifter Shopping, Satisfied Customers

Vision AI can take real-time visual data beyond security to improve inventory management, operations, and customer experiences. AITRIOS combines powerful edge AI devices with user-friendly, low-code AI tools, empowering any team to solve retail challenges by quickly training and deploying vision AI models – no data engineering expertise required.

Customer Experience

Vision AI enhances the shopping experience by monitoring queue lengths and wait times, alerting staff to open new lanes when needed. It can analyze customer behavior in self-checkout areas and provide insights into store traffic patterns. The technology can also improve parking experiences by automating lot/garage management.

Inventory Tracking

Vision AI automates shelf monitoring, detecting empty shelves and generating immediate notifications to staff. It ensures planogram compliance by comparing shelf contents to the inventory management system. Gap detection AI models identify specific missing items. This improves product availability and reduces revenue loss from out-of-stock situations.

In-Store Advertising & Retail Media

Vision AI monitors customer engagement with promotional areas, tracking metrics like people counting, gaze/dwell times, and customer attribution. This data helps retailers and vendors assess promotion effectiveness, optimize product placement, and tailor marketing strategies. It also provides insights into digital signage performance, allowing for better ad placement and content optimization.
