Good decisions start with better questions.

Start with the decision you need to make

Our guides follow a practical route from a store task to a measured pilot. Choose a topic below, then use the detailed guide to build your own evaluation checklist.

• Select a robot category: compare transport, scanning, cleaning and manipulation against the work your staff actually do.
• Check hands and grippers: include packaging, shelf access, product damage and recovery from a failed grasp.
• Evaluate camera-based checkout: test recognition separately from payment, exception handling and privacy.
• Plan simulation and real-world learning: identify which conditions still need to be tested in the store.
• Design remote assistance: define when a person takes over and include their time in your calculations.
• Measure a supermarket pilot: agree on success rates, staff minutes, interventions and a stop-or-expand decision.
