Save Mart to pilot inventory robots at seven California supermarkets
Dive Brief:
Save Mart plans to test autonomous inventory robots from Simbe Robotics in seven of the grocery chain's supermarkets in Northern California, the companies announced in a press release on Friday.
The robots, known as "Tally," will be used to scan items on store shelves at three Save Mart locations and one FoodMaxx location in the Modesto, California, area; two Lucky California stores in Dublin and San Ramon, California; and another FoodMaxx location in Tracey, California.
Save Mart is piloting the autonomous aisle-scanning devices as grocers test a variety of equipment designed to automate various aspects of food retailing, including order-fulfillment and checkout.
