Using AI to monitor inventory and improve store operations in real time.
7-Eleven uses smart cameras that keep an eye on shelves so items don’t run out and stores stay neat without employees needing to check constantly.
It’s like having a tireless store clerk who notices empty shelves before you do and sounds the alarm.
7-Eleven integrates AI technologies, particularly computer vision, to monitor shelves, track inventory levels, and streamline in-store operations. Cameras and AI systems automatically detect product placement, identify low-stock items, and ensure shelves are organized according to planograms. This real-time insight allows staff to restock efficiently, reduces lost sales due to unavailable items, and enhances the overall shopping experience.
