Automatic replenishment system developed by HCI and RoboPlus

HCI (Izumiotsu City, Osaka Prefecture) and Robo-Plus (Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture) have jointly developed a robot system to automatically replenish beverages in convenience stores and supermarkets. The replenishment time from the storage shelf to the showcase is about 20 seconds per item. A sensor attached to the robot constantly monitors the number of products in the showcase, and when the number of products decreases, the robot checks the barcodes of the products taken out from the storage shelves one by one and displays them with the front facing forward. A tablet terminal can be used to check the replenishment status of storage shelves and display shelves from a distance, and notifications of stock-outs can be received. the company plans to propose the system to retailers starting in August and continue to improve it based on customer requests.
