Towards a future with digital and automated food retail operations
- EuroShop 2023 takes place 26 February through 2 March 2023 in Düsseldorf, Germany
- Viessmann Refrigeration Solutions and Pixevia collaborate to bring „instant walk-in, walk-out“ technology to grocery retailers
- Fully automated stores powered by AI, cameras, and sensors provided by Pixevia are connected to Viessmann’s refrigeration solutions
Mainz, Germany, 18th of January 2023 – Viessmann Refrigeration Solutions, a leading supplier of commercial refrigeration solutions, and Pixevia, a retail automation company, are presenting an Express Store solution at EuroShop 2023 – the world’s largest retail trade fair – from 26 February through 2 March 2023 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Automated stores powered by AI, cameras and sensor-technology help food retailers to operate the stores more efficiently, free up floor space for valuable grocery sales and to optimize their in-store operations and assortment with the support of real-live data. Digitalization will play an important part of the future of food retail and at EuroShop 2023 Viessmann Refrigeration Solutions together with Pixevia will present an example of a convenience store with integrated „instant walk-in, walk-out“ technology in combination with Viessmann’s refrigeration solutions.
The Express Store at the Viessmann stand operates by using ceiling cameras and smart shelves to keep track of which products customers pick up in the store. The technology allows stores to operate without cashiers — the store automatically detects items taken from the shelves and creates a virtual shopping cart. Pixevia’s AI algorithm continuously analyzes the data received from the cameras and shelves to ensure the process is swift and accurate.
According to Mindaugas Eglinskas, CEO of Pixevia, the Express Store improves the customer shopping experience, as well as optimizes operational costs for retailers. “Smaller smart stores just around the corner are a great alternative to large supermarkets in remote locations. In addition, they are a better fit to match the habits of the modern consumer. We look forward to EuroShop and having the opportunity to show our technology integrated with Viessmann refrigerated cabinets”, says Mindaugas Eglinskas.
Viessmann Refrigeration Solutions’ sales and service network across Europe provide full project capabilities in integrating automated technology to a turn-key solution for food retail. "Collaboration with Pixevia is an example of co-creation where two companies join forces for the benefit of food retailers. The technology and expertise developed by Pixevia in connection with our refrigerated products brings more added value for our customers and their daily operations. We are happy to show an automated store solution with the Pixevia technology and look forward to the discussions with our customers", says Frank Winters, CEO of Viessmann Refrigeration Solutions.
