Kroger and NVIDIA to Reinvent the Shopping Experience Through State-of-the-Art, AI-Enabled Applications and Services
22 Março 2022 - 1:38PM
The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) and NVIDIA today announced a strategic
collaboration to reimagine the shopping experience using AI-enabled
applications and services.
Kroger, the nation’s largest grocer, and NVIDIA will build a
state-of-art AI lab and demonstration center to expand Kroger’s
freshness initiatives, improve shipping logistics and create a
better shopping experience in stores through digital twin
simulations — virtual models designed to accurately reflect store
layouts and other operations.
“Our collaboration with NVIDIA supports Kroger’s ‘Fresh for
Everyone’ commitment,” said Wesley Rhodes, vice president of
Technology Transformation & Research and Development at Kroger.
“We look forward to learning more about how AI and data analytics
will further our journey to provide our customers with anything,
anytime, anywhere.”
The lab will be located in Kroger’s Cincinnati-based
headquarters office. It will use the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software
suite for retail, NVIDIA Omniverse™ Enterprise to build digital
twin simulations and NVIDIA cuOpt to explore logistics
optimizations. The initial installation will use nine NVIDIA DGX™
A100 systems, NVIDIA InfiniBand networking and NVIDIA RTX™
workstations to gather actionable insights on the grocer’s nearly
2,800 stores across the United States.
“NVIDIA and Kroger’s collaboration on AI and digital twins will
further expand Kroger’s digital technology leadership,” said Azita
Martin, vice president and general manager of Retail at NVIDIA.
“Kroger already is delivering excellent customer experiences in
stores and providing fast home delivery. With NVIDIA AI, shoppers
gain more personalized experiences in physical stores and
online.”
The companies will explore how NVIDIA technology can:
- Identify early indicators of deteriorating freshness through
computer vision and analytics.
- Use dynamic routing for last-mile delivery to ensure freshness
from farm to plate
- Optimize store efficiency and processes with digital twin store
simulation
