With already hyper thin margins in the grocery industry, how can highly expensive robotics, artificial intelligence and automation be implemented in the industry without driving consumer pricing so high as to make this entire enterprise no longer economically feasible?
Self checkouts cost about 50,000, but have good ROI after 2-3 years because they remove employees. What you've described in your intro ADDS hardware, software and more manpower to the mix.
Where's the ROI and savings coming from if stores gotta pay out the nose for your technology? Seems like the only way your whole business works is if you drive local supermarkets out of business, and replace them with huge robotic facilities with less employees.
