Automated Retail Systems

Retail systems continue to emerge as the building block for modern retail systems transformation.  Whether  retail will significantly invest in technology is only question. Inventory and store systems would seem to be begging for AI engines to assist. Cameras and lidar based systems for speedier checkout are being tested.

Whether it is EV Charging Stations, robotics, AI, Lidar, digital KYC or new payment methods such as facial, SMS or even old-school QR codes, Retail has options (and always has). At some point someone will crunch the numbers.

Retail Systems aka Automated Retail

The automated retail systems industry is one of the two core technology showplaces today (Financial Services being #2).

    • Emerging technologies such as biometric contactless, robotics, delivery, ghost kitchens, lockers, digital signage, vending and automated vending lead the way.   Amazon and Google revolutionize physical delivery. OuterWall has another great idea (or not).
    • More mature retail technology includes interactive displays, next-generation POS,  and interactive one-to-one customer service technology.
    • Companion technologies include EV charging technology. EV charging stations located in the Kohls parking lot provide extra convenience and pulls in additional traffic from users searching Google Maps for a convenient recharge point. Restaurants are now including.
    • Sustainability has emerged with zero carbon footprint McDonalds restaurants now.
    • Standards – here we have more regulatory guidelines in play along with more standards than any other industry. PCI, OPOS, JPOS, MPOS,  HIPAA, ADA, UL, CE just to name a few.
