Sertis’ Shelf AI: Transforming Shelf Operations with Computer Vision

In retail businesses, shelf management is crucial. Having well-organized, efficiently arranged shelves with quick stock replenishment ensures that customers can always find the products they need. This enhances the shopping experience, boosts sales, and leaves a lasting impression that encourages customer retention.

Despite its importance, shelf management is still largely dependent on human workers, which can sometimes lead to oversights such as stock shortages or inefficient stock planning.

Sertis developed Shelf AI to address these issues, integrating computer vision and deep learning to improve shelf management with precision and efficiency, driving retail businesses to success.

How does Shelf AI work?

Shelf AI uses intelligent CCTV cameras, both fixed and mobile, powered by computer vision models to monitor shelves comprehensively. It analyzes shelf arrangements, product promotions, and positioning strategies, even detecting when stock is running low. The system sends real-time alerts to staff, notifying them when to replenish items or adjust product arrangements based on trends, demand, or changing promotions to maximize sales.

Behind this precision is a deep learning model trained on vast amounts of product data, promotions, strategies, and business KPIs. This enables accurate detection of products and scenarios, aligning with business goals. The model can handle large datasets simultaneously, ensuring efficient operation even for large retail chains or stores with multiple branches.
