Start date: 2016-10-01
End date: 2017-02-27
Traditionally, the digitization of a physical store is far behind the development of other industries seen in recent years. For example compared to production environments in other areas, such as manufacturing. This despite the fact that, for example, a modern hypermarketh as a staff and a flow of gods which exceeds the same of a medium-sized manufacturing company.
The parties, Gunnebo Security Group, SIIR and ICA Maxi (Högsbo matmarknad AB) have identified the potential for a cutting-edge project intended to digitize communications between resources (primarily staff) and the today isolated islands of different support systems and installed equipment such as a entrance gates, safes, forklifts, POS systems, CCTV-cameras, doors, queuing systems, self-scanning equipment, price terminals, cash handling machines, panic alarms, time management-systems, telephone system, scheduling systems, etc.
The outcome a subsequent full-scale implemented spearhead project aims both to contribute to greater values for the retail society through the insight on how benefits can be deducted from a digitization impact on processes and flows within the store environment. In addition any technical innovations gained intends to be commercialized and exported internationally by the party Gunnebo AB.
