Colruyt Group

Colruyt is testing the use of cameras and AI to identify goods at a supermarket in Halle, Belgium. The solution, developed by its in-house technology team, is designed to reduce workload of checkout staff and speed up the process by a fifth.

Colruyt is testing the use of autonomous vehicles for its online business. In a two-month trial, a compact driverless van from Estonian manufacturer Clevon transports customer orders to a Click&Collect pick-up station at the Londerzeel store in Belgium.

Colruyt makes it easier for employees to restock shelves with its new Product Finder app. This communicates with ESLs, which signal the correct shelf position by means of a built-in LED display.

Belgian Colruyt Group has opened its first unattended convenience store. The Okay Compact store in the city centre of Ghent is testing technology from in-house development team Smart Technics.
