Value brands depend on selling large quantities to the masses, and so their store layouts have to allow for high density display. Brand PositioningĪre you a value or a premium or a luxury brand? Which takes us to the next point of consideration. We have to say, though, that not all fashion brands have the same style of store layout.
On the other hand, fashion stores usually go for the more creative free flow store layout, where fixtures are staged in a more random way and not as organized and systemized as the grid layout.
In this case the grid layout or the forced path layout will be suitable for you. The more product categories you carry at your store, the more of a systematic and organized layout you will want to incorporate. For example the grid layout seen at supermarkets and hardware stores will not be suitable for fashion boutiques. Type of Retail Storeĭifferent types of store layouts are appropriate for different types of stores. Inventory management automation is here to stay, but we believe machine vision and barcode scanning will play a massive role in its future development.Now that we have shown how to create your own store layout, let’s discuss some things to take into consideration before deciding on the final design for your store. To be clear, by automation we mean retail shelf robots/ autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and autonomous guided vehicles (AGV). These are already providing automated order picking, putaway, and inventory scanning.īut it also includes drones in the warehouse, automatic sorting and retrieval systems that are also in use today.
All these vehicles and systems use cameras to guide and scan barcodes. Right now, two trends are easy to spot in the warehouse, distribution center, and retail floor:Ĭameras are providing the opportunity to innovate the whole inventory scanning area and Machine Vision is the driving technology behind this trend. In addition to scanning barcodes, these automated devices with cameras can combine with other technologies to measure or recognize objects and check for out-of-stocks. The data can be fed to WMS/ERP systems, and management can be alerted to situations requiring intervention.Īt Scandit, we see considerable interest in our Barcode Scanner SDK for inventory management automation on both Linux and Windows systems. The cameras and processors are widely available. One or more 5MP+ cameras and a suitable processing platform (NVIDIA Jetson, ASUS Tinker, or other SBCs) allow barcode scanning and other AI-based machine vision software to run at the edge or stream images to another device or server for distributed or cloud processing. The scanning software locates the barcodes in a video stream or on single images, decodes the barcodes, and provides the decoded data to the software application. Using Scandit MatrixScan, many codes can be located and decoded in the same image to speed up the system’s performance.
