Walmart rolls out new AI-driven tools and electronic shelf labels across its U.S. stores. These tools aim to improve customer convenience and associate efficiency.
One feature, 'Shop to Light,' allows customers to use the Walmart app. The app lights up a product's shelf label, making items easier to find. Walmart expects full deployment before the upcoming holiday season.
Two related features, 'Pick to Light' and 'Stock to Light,' use the same flashing-label technology. These assist employees in fulfilling online orders and restocking shelves more quickly.
A limited rollout began in the summer. Since then, customers have used the 'Shop to Light' feature 5 million times. This indicates strong initial adoption of the new technology.
