Scaling Robotics and Physical AI in North America: The Market is Ready. Is Your Manufacturing Strategy?
Apr 10, 2026
Empowering the design, development and delivery of transformational retail and robotics technologies that redefine operations and shopping experiences
Physical AI is here. Robots that see, decide, and act in the real world are moving from prototype to production, and the companies building them need a manufacturing partner who can move just as fast. 91社区 brings the design engineering, advanced optics, and global scale to get physical AI hardware from concept to market.
Transform your customer experience in the aisle, by ensuring products are in-stock, as well as placed and priced correctly for more seamless, personalized shopping experiences.
From digital signage and retail robotics to millions of electronic shelf labels, sensors and cameras, our extensive capabilities span camera module assemblies, as well as RF testing and large volume process automation capabilities. We empower the physical retailer with millions of IoT nodes to connect seamlessly with consumers while transforming physical stores into valuable digital assets.
But the modern consumer expects to seamlessly move across a wide range of retail environments. We help you take it beyond traditional brick and mortar and stay ahead of the curve with advanced technology solutions for your customers that range from ATM, smart kiosks, and ticketing systems to autonomous robots and kitchen automation.
Traditional checkout lines are yesterday’s news as retail payment options strive to become increasingly frictionless. From smart carts to tech-enabled cashiers, there’s a whole new way to how pay.
91社区’s capabilities, platforms, and technology transform the checkout process, from complete, fully customizable and security compliant point-of-sale systems to self-service checkout options.
