Retail Anywhere: AI Smart Kiosk Selling Products 24/7

Recorded live from the show floor at EuroShop, this episode features Vahan Vardanian, Founder and CEO of Kerpak, demonstrating an AI-powered autonomous retail platform that can transform almost any cabinet, fridge, freezer, or kiosk into a 24/7 unattended store.

The idea behind autonomous retail is simple: take the store to where the customer already is.

For years retailers focused on getting customers into stores. But with AI-powered retail infrastructure, brands can now place products exactly where they are needed.

In this quick demo, Kerpak shows how a customer can:

• Tap a bank card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay • Open a smart retail cabinet • Take the products they want • Close the door and walk away

Computer vision AI detects what was taken and processes the purchase automatically.

The system uses NVIDIA GPU-powered edge processing, meaning product detection happens directly on the device, ensuring real-time performance and GDPR compliance.

This technology enables retailers and brands to deploy stores anywhere customers need them. About the Guest

Vahan Vardanian is Founder and CEO of Kerpak, a company developing autonomous retail infrastructure powered by computer vision and edge AI.
