“Sam’s Club is hyper focused on making sure our members have a
seamless shopping experience, so any time-saving innovation we can
implement is significant. By adding Inventory Scan to our current
fleet of robotic scrubbers, we obtain critical inventory data that
previously was time consuming to obtain,” said Todd Garner, VP of
In Club Product Management at Sam’s Club. “This intelligence allows
us to proactively manage our clubs in an efficient manner.
Inventory Scan assures items are available and easy to locate in
the club, freeing up time for our associates to focus on members
and the shopping experience they deserve.”
Utilizing a first-of-its-kind dual function design, the powerful
new scanning accessory will be fitted to the almost 600 autonomous
floor scrubbers already deployed within Sam’s Club stores
nationwide. These towers, powered by Brain Corp’s AI operating
system, BrainOS®, and manufactured by Tennant Company combine
best-in-class autonomy and ease of use with trusted equipment.
Once installed on the scrubber, the new, cloud-connected
Inventory Scan tower is able to capture data as it moves
autonomously around the club. Reports are then delivered to the
club managers that provide numerous insights including:
verification of pricing accuracy, planogram compliance, product
stock levels and product localization. Each function negates the
need for time consuming and manual processes, reducing waste and
inventory loss.
“This latest iteration of our valued and longstanding
partnership with Sam’s Club marks the beginning of realizing the
next phase in our company's vision,” said Dr. Eugene Izhikevich,
CEO of Brain Corp. “We are actively taking BrainOS-powered robots
from primarily task-oriented machines, to in-store data acquisition
platforms, able to deliver actionable insights on inventory
availability, planogram compliance and more. This adds significant
ROI for retailers.”
