Kroger implements AI robot Tally to monitor store shelves
What happened
Kroger Co. announced a new artificial intelligence initiative in September, which involves using a robot named Tally in its City Market stores. Tally uses AI to scan shelves for misplaced products, pricing errors, and items that are out of stock. The latest version, Tally 4.0, features higher-resolution cameras and expanded 3D and 360-degree coverage, allowing it to scan stores more frequently and provide faster insights into product availability and placement.
