- 8:59Spartan
- 9:00Nash

- 9:09different
- 9:09business
- 9:10model.
- 9:10So
- 9:10running
- 9:11a
- 9:11grocery
- 9:11operation
- 9:12is
- 9:12very
- 9:12different

- 9:19very
- 9:19much
- 9:20more
- 9:20complex
- 9:21task.

- 30:10cetera,
- 30:10just
- 30:10to
- 30:10kind
- 30:10of
- 30:11ground
- 30:11that
- 30:11in
- 30:11something
- 30:12we
- 30:12can
- 30:12all

- 30:14factor
- 30:14really

- 30:15high
- 30:15value
- 30:15computer
- 30:16vision
- 30:16from
- 30:16the
- 30:16rest
- 30:16with
- 30:17two
- 30:17key
- 30:17supporting
- 30:18elements.
- 30:18So
- 30:19the
- 30:19main
- 30:19thing
- 30:19that's
- 30:19important
- 30:20is
- 30:20value
- 30:21that's
- 30:21been
- 30:21proven
- 30:22at
- 30:22scale
- 30:23across
- 30:23multiple
- 30:24chain
- 30:24wide
- 30:24deployments,
- 30:25in
- 30:25multiple
- 30:25retail
- 30:26subsectors,
- 30:27in
- 30:27geographies
- 30:28and
- 30:28use
- 30:28cases
- 30:29where
- 30:29there's
- 30:29many
- 30:30applications.
- 30:30It's
- 30:31easy
- 30:31to
- 30:31claim
- 30:31that
- 30:31you
- 30:32have
- 30:32a
- 30:32product
- 30:32that
- 30:33does
- 30:33certain
- 30:33things.
- 30:33But
- 30:33then
- 30:34when,
- 30:34when
- 30:34vendors
- 30:35or
- 30:35when
- 30:35retailers
- 30:36dig
- 30:36in
- 30:36to
- 30:37verify
- 30:37vendor
- 30:38claims,
- 30:38they
- 30:38often
- 30:38find
- 30:39out
- 30:39that,
- 30:39you
- 30:39know,
- 30:39claims
- 30:40might
- 30:40be
- 30:40a
- 30:40little
- 30:40hand
- 30:40wavy
- 30:42and
- 30:42really
- 30:42like.
- 30:43The
- 30:43reason
- 30:43I
- 30:44start
- 30:44with
- 30:44that
- 30:44non
- 30:44technical
- 30:45answer
- 30:45is
- 30:45this,
- 30:45this
- 30:45is
- 30:46about
- 30:46the
- 30:46business
- 30:47outcome,
- 30:47right?
- 30:48That's
- 30:48how
- 30:48to,
- 30:48to
- 30:48really
- 30:49take
- 30:50take
- 30:50a
- 30:50sense
- 30:51for
- 30:51whether
- 30:52computer
- 30:52vision
- 30:52is
- 30:52good
- 30:53or
- 30:53bad.
- 30:54And
- 30:54then
- 30:54the
- 30:55supporting
- 30:55points
- 30:55for
- 30:56that
- 30:56are
- 30:56really
- 30:56around
- 30:56depth
- 30:57perception
- 30:57and
- 30:57total
- 30:58cost
- 30:58of
- 30:58ownership.
- 30:59So
- 30:59you
- 30:59know,
- 31:00depth
- 31:00perception
- 31:00is
- 31:00basically
- 31:01another
- 31:01way
- 31:01of
- 31:01saying
- 31:02that
- 31:02good
- 31:03computer
- 31:03vision
- 31:03sees
- 31:04in
- 31:043D.
- 31:05Mobile
- 31:06robots
- 31:06have
- 31:07become
- 31:07known
- 31:07as
- 31:08the
- 31:08most
- 31:09accurate
- 31:09and
- 31:09scalable
- 31:10and
- 31:10cost
- 31:11effective
- 31:11retail
- 31:12solution
- 31:13because
- 31:13they
- 31:13can
- 31:13move
- 31:13around.
- 31:14Right?
- 31:14And
- 31:14that
- 31:14eliminates
- 31:15data
- 31:15coverage
- 31:15gap.
- 31:16And
- 31:17that
- 31:17also
- 31:17relates
- 31:17to
- 31:18the
- 31:18topic
- 31:18of
- 31:18total
- 31:19cost
- 31:19of
- 31:19ownership.
- 31:20You
- 31:20know,
- 31:20when
- 31:21you
- 31:21have
- 31:21like
- 31:21just
- 31:22fixed
- 31:23cameras,
- 31:23for
- 31:23instance,
- 31:24you
- 31:24have
- 31:24hundreds
- 31:24of
- 31:24them
- 31:24per
- 31:25store,
- 31:25that
- 31:26really
- 31:26drives
- 31:26up
- 31:26your
- 31:27costs
- 31:27and
- 31:27your
- 31:28maintenance
- 31:28as
- 31:28well
- 31:29as
- 31:29your
- 31:29risk
- 31:29of
- 31:29damage.
- 31:30Whereas
- 31:31like
- 31:31a
- 31:31robot
- 31:32really
- 31:32requires
- 31:33minimal
- 31:33infrastructure
- 31:34and
- 31:34it's
- 31:34kind
- 31:35of
- 31:35the
- 31:35difference
- 31:35of
- 31:35managing
- 31:36just
- 31:36one
- 31:36device
- 31:37versus
- 31:37hundreds.
- 31:38So
- 31:38I
- 31:38would
- 31:38say
- 31:39bottom
- 31:39line,
- 31:39computer
- 31:40vision

- 31:44in
- 31:44prior
- 31:45applications.
- 31:46And
- 31:46that's
- 31:47especially
- 31:47the
- 31:47case
- 31:48when
- 31:48it
- 31:48is
- 31:48backed
- 31:49by
- 31:49a
- 31:50solid

- 40:20think
- 40:20this
- 40:20is
- 40:20a
- 40:21much
- 40:21better
- 40:21idea
- 40:21than

- 40:35scale
- 40:35there.
- 40:35There.

- 42:16to
- 42:16do
- 42:17this
- 42:17that's
