AIR Unveils VAULT System in the UK: Revolutionizing Retail with Enhanced Security and Shopping Convenience

Automation in Retail (AIR), a global frontrunner in automated retail technology, is thrilled to announce the debut of its cutting-edge autonomous merchandising system, VAULT, in the United Kingdom.

Specially engineered to combat shoplifting and featuring limitless scalability, VAULT represents a quantum leap in the realm of retail automation, seamlessly integrating profit protection with an enriched shopping experience.

Each VAULT merchandising system, equipped with an integrated self-checkout mechanism, is designed to surpass traditional shelving systems and is capable of dispensing nearly every retail item, spanning from grocery stores to high street health & beauty outlets and pharmacies. VAULT not only dramatically reduces losses due to theft and operational inefficiencies but also harnesses consumer data, streamlines inventory management, optimises supply chain operations, and elevates customer satisfaction.

Key highlights of the VAULT merchandising system encompass:

  • Unmatched Theft Deterrence: Precision-engineered to robustly deter shoplifting, particularly for high-value items, safeguarding both inventory and profits.
  • Biometric Verification: Utilising top-tier biometric technologies, VAULT ensures legal dispensing of age-restricted items like alcohol, tobacco, and vapes, obviating the need for employee intervention.
  • Inclusive Accessibility: Ensuring ease of shopping for consumers with mobile impairments and those requiring mobility aids.
  • Ergonomic Retrieval: Products delivered within seconds at waist height for effortless collection.
  • Efficient Robotic Handling: VAULT’s integrated robotic arm ensures swift product retrieval, enhancing the customer experience while maintaining product security.
  • Informed Purchases: A touchscreen ordering system facilitates a seamless self-checkout experience, offers allergen information pre-purchase, and enables hassle-free contactless payment for multiple purchases.
  • Labour Efficiency: Automation reduces manpower dependency, resulting in substantial cost savings while enhancing employee safety by minimising theft-related incidents.
  • Resolution of Common Issues: Addresses in-store product consumption, damaged/contaminated products, unwarranted product openings, reaching for fresher items at the back, and disorderly shelves.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Captures valuable data throughout the retail journey, providing insights into consumer behaviour, demand patterns, and operational performance, enabling retailers to make informed decisions.
  • Diversified Revenue Streams: Retailers can explore additional revenue avenues beyond product sales through its innovative AI-powered marketing platform via interactive touchscreens.
  • Profit Protection: VAULT is not just a technological marvel but also a strategic move to safeguard profits, embodying a “spend to save” philosophy.
  • Customisable and Scalable: Ensures optimal use of retail space, available in multiple colour options.
  • Contemporary Design: Prioritises functionality without compromising aesthetics, enhancing the shopping ambiance.
  • Structural Reliability: Crafted with high-quality robust materials for longevity and minimal maintenance.

Joe Jackson, Global Client Relations Lead of AIR, enthused, “As retailers continue to navigate an ever-changing and challenging landscape, our commitment remains unwavering—to provide state-of-the-art technology that not only simplifies operations, protects profits and employees, but also elevates the customer experience. VAULT is a testament to our dedication to innovation and our belief in the transformative power of automation.”
