Walmart is deploying the Vusion platform, from partner SES-imagotag, within U.S. stores as part of its digital shelf strategy.
The first phase will include 500 stores over the next year and a half for a total of 60 million digital shelf labels, according to a press release.
The platform has been in development for more than 10 years and the latest version features innovations that range from smart rails combining connectivity and energy to battery-less digital labels with enhanced performance.
"Changing price shelf labels in stores is time intensive for our associates. We've been testing digital solutions that will help us manage these price changes electronically, allowing associates more time to do what matters most — helping our customers," Bala Prasanna, vice president, Walmart U.S., said in the release "We're seeing positive results and are expanding the rollout of these electronic shelf labels."
SES-imagotag serves over 350 large retailer groups around the world in Europe, Asia and North America.
