Google’s move reflects the growing trend among tech companies to support retailers in digitizing their physical spaces, following innovations such as Amazon’s cashier-less stores and other augmented reality-based shopping experiences.
Auchan’s trial of Neurolabs’s “ReShelf” technology, leveraging Synthetic Computer Vision and UiPath’s Robotic Process Automation (RPA), represents a significant innovation in retail operations. This real-time shelf monitoring system ensures On-Shelf Availability (OSA) and Planogram Compliance, providing a seamless shopping experience by alerting staff when products need replenishment.
By integrating these technologies, Auchan enhances in-store efficiency, ensuring that customers always find the products they need. Beyond immediate responses, ReShelf offers SKU root-cause analysis, giving insights into supply chain inefficiencies and product availability issues. This combination of cutting-edge technology transforms retail by automating previously manual, time-consuming tasks.
