Walmart is rolling out shelf-scanning robots to 50 U.S. stores to replenish inventory faster and free up time for associates.
The new shelf-scanning technology uses automation to handle tasks that are repeatable, predictable and manual, such as scanning shelves for out-of-stock items, incorrect prices and wrong or missing labels.
Walmart revealed in its blog it has tested the technology in a small number of stores in Arkansas, Pennsylvania and California. Now it’s expanding the tech to an additional 50 locations.
