en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. company Brain Corp has announced the results of its expanded deployment of AI-powered shelf-scanning robots in collaboration with the Czech retail brand Albert. Albert, a subsidiary of Ahold Delhaize, operates 350 stores in the Czech Republic.

Previously, Albert's inventory management was a highly structured routine operation that relied heavily on manual execution. After restocking cycles, empty shelves were scanned by store staff and managers to correct system discrepancies. Despite clear processes, staff shortages, time constraints, and varying experience levels led to critical correction delays, preventing products from being placed on shelves before the next delivery, directly impacting sales, brand partnerships, and the shopping experience.

Following the successful deployment of BrainOS-powered Tennant robotic floor scrubbers in 2022, Albert partnered with Brain Corp to evaluate whether AI-driven shelf scanning could operate reliably under real store conditions. Pavel Klemera, Operations Support Consultant at Albert, stated: "After successfully deploying autonomous floor cleaning shelf-scanning robots, we realized that automation could provide operational consistency and valuable data."

The insights provided by the BrainOS-powered scanning technology highlighted operational gaps that needed to be addressed. Targeting a baseline accuracy of 90% across all categories, the system consistently achieved over 90% in identifying products, price tags, and anomalies. System accuracy improved continuously throughout the pilot, with each scan enhancing its ability to identify products, price tags, and out-of-stocks. Ivana Stastnikova, Head of Store Operations Processes for Albert's Central and Southeastern Europe region, said: "The data was clear, consistent, and accurate. This allowed us to identify human errors—such as outdated prices on some paper labels, which we corrected immediately."

Automated inventory scanning is the next step in Albert's corporate strategy, which centers on digitalization, automation, and data-driven decision-making. By leveraging AI-powered data, Albert strengthens execution, reduces reliance on manual corrections, and supports teams through better visibility. Stastnikova stated: "Albert's innovation lies in measurable impact. When technology delivers tangible operational benefits, we adopt it."

The outstanding data accuracy results achieved in real store environments lay the foundation for Albert to roll out AI-powered inventory insights across its Central and Southeastern European markets.
