Basic Information
Simbe manufactures autonomous inventory robots. Simbe’s machine - Tally - has navigated more than 25,000 miles in stores operated by over a dozen of the top 250 global brands, including Schnuck Markets, Giant Eagle, Decathlon Sporting Goods, and Groupe Casino. Simbe drives the robot around to create a store map and teach it the location of its charging dock. Simbe claims most customers see Tally achieve baseline accuracy in as little as one week. Once configured, Tally operates completely on its own, only requiring remote or on-site servicing if something goes wrong. Tally taps computer vision to tell which products aren’t on a shelf and which (if any) are missing facings, and it uses RFID to take precise inventory counts. A single robot can scan 15,000 to 30,000 products per hour, or around 80,000 SKUs in roughly two hours. That’s compared with the average employee, who spends 20 to 30 hours a week scanning 10,000 to 20,000 products. In a typical setup, Tally performs rounds three times per day: in the morning to validate the previous night’s restock, in the afternoon to fill remaining holes with backstock, and in the evening to provide recommendations to the restocking team. It’s designed for grocery store, drug stores, value stores, clothing stores, and consumer electronics stores larger than 5,000 square feet, and it currently captures all items with the exception of bakery, deli, and produce.
