Compute Inside Retail Stores You Visit Daily

A walkthrough of how AI and compute are used throughout retail environments, filmed inside an Ace Hardware store. Covers use cases including parking lot traffic analytics, in-store heat maps, shelf monitoring, shoplifting detection, spill detection, digital price tags, self-checkout verification, employee effectiveness monitoring, and back-end data center analytics. Notes that much retail AI inference runs on CPUs (like AMD EPYC) rather than GPUs, and traces the evolution from manual processes to computerized and AI-enhanced workflows across customer, employee, and operator experiences.
