2022 RTIH Innovation Awards nominee Spacee boosts Deming shelf-mounted robots offering

Spacee has launched a new version of its Deming shelf-mounted robots with live video feed capabilities, allowing retail store managers to see shelves and get real-time inventory snapshots remotely.

Skip Howard, Founder and CEO at Spacee, says: "There is a huge gap between what data retailers can collect in their e-commerce operations and what they can get from physical stores.”

“Spacee helps fill that gap with critical in-store customer and supply chain data. Our latest Deming robots now take it to the next level with live and recorded video feeds."

The robots roam across shelves capturing inventory data. Spacee says that, while it can take several days for staff to capture inventory manually and a full day for a floor robot, Deming can provide an accurate inventory accounting of an entire facility in under a minute.

Installation requires one tool and about 30 minutes per aisle.

Halim El Roumi, Regional Director at Spacee, says: "The UAE is a nurturing ground for innovation, helping elevate virtually every industry.”

“Deming has been proven to improve supply chain efficiency, reduce stockouts and waste, and reduce costs, elevating retail businesses in the UAE and GCC. We look forward to continually empowering the region and reflecting the utmost in AI innovations in service of customers and clients."
