Schnucks has recently deployed automated aisle-scanning robots chainwide. The retailer has partnered with Simbe Robotics, a tech firm, and rolled out robots to all of its 111 stores in the U.S. The robots are now in charge of scanning fresh produce and refrigerated items. Initially, Schnucks had limited them to monitoring dry items in stores to test their capacity. The retailer assessed that robots are around four to fifteen times better than humans at handling the tiresome activity of checking the product levels.
