Intelhttp://www.iotechsys.com/industries/retail/ori/Intel’s Open Retail Initiative (ORI) is the first open source Internet of Things (IoT) initiative that focuses on enabling retailers to unlock the power of data and insights within their businesses to scale better and address market challenges. It allows innovators to work together by connecting technologies and data through common systems and open-source frameworks such as the EdgeX Foundry.
The aim of the ORI is to promote the free exchange of ideas within the retail industry in order to drive creative and technological advancement. Through collaborations within the EdgeX Foundry community and ecosystem partners such as Canonical, Dell, Envirosell, HP, JD.com, JDA, Petrosoft, RetailNext, SAS,
Shekel Brainweigh, SUSE, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, Verifone, VMware and IOTech the initiative is removing barriers to technology adoption.
Intelligent Loss Prevention is one of the important retail use cases that the ORI can help to advance. In order to show the art of the possible, IOTech in collaboration with
Intel, PCMS, Edgeify,
Shekel and HP have created an extensive demonstration that shows a new
Intelligent Loss Prevention solution to support self-checkout systems. This
ORI-based solution and live demonstration is being showcased on the
Intel booth #4637 at NRF 2020Hewlett-Packardhttps://press.hp.com/us/en/blogs/2020/hp-unveils-hp-engage-edge.htmlHP also went on to collaborate with
Intel® and other vendors at NRF2020 in
showcasing a proof of technology demo on Theft Detection use case . The demo seamlessly brought together data streams from camera, barcode scanners,
weight scale to flag suspicious events that the store managers then can discreetly monitor those to avoid theft before it happens. The open framework indeed sped up the collaboration among partners in building such a complex solution very quickly and easily; and generated tremendous interest and feedback which helped a great deal in building the first EdgeX Foundry based implementations in the retail domain.
