About 7-Eleven
7-ELEVEN operates a network of over 400 convenience stores across urban centers in Singapore, focusing on providing quick,
high-quality food and beverage options for on-the-go consumers. 7-ELEVEN sought a solution to streamline inventory management,
enhance customer convenience, and reduce operational costs in their stores.
Product: Smart Cooler Weight Series
Our Smart AI Cooler is an IoT-enabled appliance designed to streamline food management and enhance user experience.
Equipped with advanced weight-sensing technology, the fridge uses weight-based sensors to detect and track inventory in real time.
Integrated with AI algorithms and cloud connectivity, it offers features such as automated inventory management, expiration date tracking,
and personalized meal recommendations. The fridge connects seamlessly to a mobile app, allowing remote monitoring and control,
and integrates with payment systems for a "grab-and-go" experience.
How 7-Eleven Uses the Smart AI Cooler
7-Eleven has deployed our Smart AI Coolers in office cafeterias and corporate break rooms across their service areas.
The fridges are strategically placed to provide employees with 24/7 access to fresh meals, snacks, and beverages.
Here’s how 7-Eleven integrates the product into their operations:
Inventory Management
The weight-sensing technology accurately
tracks the weight of items placed in or
removed from the fridge. This allows 7-11 to
monitor stock levels in real time, ensuring
fridges are always stocked with fresh products
and with automatical restocking alarms.
Self-Service Convenience
Employees can unlock the fridge using a mobile
app or NFC-enabled payment methods (e.g.,
Apple Pay, Google Pay). The gravity sensors
detect which items are taken, automatically
charging the user's account for a seamless
grab-and-go experience.
Personalized Meal Planning
The AI integrates with 7-11's meal subscription
platform, analyzing user preferences and dietary
needs to suggest tailored meal options based on
available inventory. This enhances customer
satisfaction by offering personalized dining
experiences.
Expiration Monitoring
The fridge's AI system tracks expiration dates
by combining weight data with product
information, sending notifications to 7-11's
team and users when items are nearing expiry.
This minimizes food waste and ensures food
safety.
Remote Monitoring
Through the mobile app, 7-11's operations team
can remotely monitor fridge conditions, such as
temperature and humidity, ensuring optimal
storage and compliance with food safety
regulations.
