Walmart unveils an AI-powered store of the future, now open to the public
沃爾瑪在紐約推出智能零售商店
沃爾瑪日前在紐約萊維頓推出一間智能零售實驗室（IRL）。這間智能零售實驗室面積超過50000平方英尺（4645.15平方米），30000餘件商品，配有100餘名工作人員。
新店在天花板上安裝了AI攝像頭，用來實時監控商品的庫存水平。這樣不僅便於幫助工作人員更準確的判斷何時何地補充產品，也能使消費者在到店消費時，清楚地知道產品和肉類在到貨時總是新鮮且有庫存。
店內還設置了信息站，有工作人員為消費者解答關於這間智能零售實驗室中應用的技術等問題。品牌也表示，對於人工智能將進行更進一步的探索，這間新店在一定程度上也參考了亞馬遜無人商店的經驗。
Walmart this morning unveiled a new “store of the future” and test grounds for emerging technologies, including AI-enabled cameras and interactive displays. The store, a working concept called the Intelligent Retail Lab — or “IRL” for short — operates out of a Walmart Neighborhood Market in Levittown, N.Y.
The store is open to customers and is one of Walmart’s busiest Neighborhood Market stores, containing more than 30,000 items, the retailer says, which allows it to test out technology in a real-world environment.
Similar to Amazon Go’s convenience stores, the store has a suite of cameras mounted in the ceiling. But unlike Amazon Go, which is a grab-and-go store with smaller square footage, Walmart’s IRL spans 50,000 square feet of retail space and is staffed by more than 100 employees.
Plus, in Walmart’s case, these AI-powered cameras are not being used to determine which items customers are buying in order to automatically charge them. It still has traditional checkout stations.
Instead, the cameras will monitor inventory levels to determine, for example, if staff needs to bring out more meat from the back-room refrigerators to restock the shelves, or if some fresh items have been sitting too long on the shelf and need to be pulled.
The idea is that the AI will help the store associates know more precisely where and when to restock products. And this, in turn, means customers will know the produce and meat is always fresh and in stock when they arrive.
There are also informational stations in the store where customers can learn more about the technology in use. A Welcome Center in the store is available too, for customers who want to learn more about the technical specifications and get answers to common questions.
