At Retail’s Big Show, Supermicro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a leading provider of IT solutions for AI/machine learning, high-performance computing, cloud, storage, and 5G/edge, announced strategic collaborations with technology partners to deliver AI-powered intelligent retail solutions. The initiative aims to help retailers meet growing demands for scalability, productivity, and profitability in today’s competitive market.
“AI is redefining the shopping experience, enabling real-time analysis of data such as video to provide retailers with actionable insights that optimize staff efficiency, reduce inventory shrinkage, increase profits and prevent out-of-stock items,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “By combining our comprehensive and scalable AI platform with NVIDIA RTX PRO accelerated computing solutions, we are empowering retailers to build intelligent stores that maximize the benefits of AI-driven applications.”

NVIDIA’s latest “State of AI in Retail and Consumer Goods Report” reveals that AI is making a real difference for businesses: 89% of respondents said it helped boost their annual sales, and 95% reported it cut costs over the year. These results highlight the tangible business value that AI is already delivering for retailers globally.
Supermicro’s Edge AI infrastructure supports retail-specific AI applications requiring sub-second response times, processing data on-site to ensure rapid and efficient operations. The solutions are designed for deployment across distributed environments, including intelligent stores and supply chains, providing end-to-end performance and ROI. For extreme conditions, the fanless E103 series delivers AI capabilities to previously underserved locations, while the E300 series offers compact, fan-equipped systems. For heavy AI workloads, Supermicro provides a wide range of systems compatible with NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs, supporting configurations from slim 1-unit systems to larger 4-unit setups for extensive AI tasks.
Supermicro collaborates with partners including Everseen, Kinetic Vision, ALLSIDES, LiveX, WobotAI, and Aible to create intelligent retail stores. Everseen’s Evercheck solution leverages AI-powered image recognition to reduce shoplifting, boost staff productivity, and enhance customer experiences. “Our partnership with Supermicro, powered by NVIDIA-accelerated computing, enables Evercheck to deliver real-time computer vision at the edge, translating in-store behavior into intelligence and providing retailers with actionable insights,” said Joe White, CEO of Evercheck.
Wobot AI transforms existing camera networks into AI agents that continuously observe, learn, and generate actionable insights. “Our collaboration with Supermicro and NVIDIA at the edge has enabled us to deploy video AI agents in a scalable and reliable manner, focusing on real-time operational insights rather than experimentation,” said Will Kelso, president of revenue and growth at Wobot AI.
LiveX AI is bringing human-like AI agents to physical spaces, including kiosks and holograms. “By leveraging NVIDIA’s accelerated AI and Supermicro’s edge infrastructure, we can deploy human-like, helpful AI agents directly into physical spaces like kiosks and holograms, bringing the speed, intelligence and continuity of digital experiences to brick-and-mortar retail environments. This partnership enables AI agents to be deployed in real time, where customers are,” said Jerry Li, co-founder and CEO of LiveX AI.
Kinetic Vision and ALLSIDES combine expertise to create digital twin solutions for supply chains and checkout processes. “The combination of Supermicro’s highly reliable, optimized infrastructure and NVIDIA’s full-stack accelerated compute gives us the foundation to innovate quickly,” said Jeremy Jarratt, CEO of NVIDIA. “By partnering with these two companies, we can help retailers move from experimentation to production-ready AI solutions that drive measurable operational efficiencies and improved customer experiences.”

Franz Tschimben, CEO of ALLSIDES, added, “By combining the strengths of NVIDIA and Supermicro, we can deliver a highly accurate 3D digital twin data layer for AI training. This will enable retailers to power applications across the retail value chain, from physical AI robot training to virtual store layouts and e-commerce integration, ultimately improving conversion rates and maximizing operational efficiency.”
Additionally, Supermicro will showcase Superb AI’s VSS solution, which combines Visual Language Models with NVIDIA AI Agent Blueprint components to deliver natural language search, incident summarization, and customer behavior insights. Aible will demonstrate automated AI agents that analyze massive datasets to optimize KPIs such as purchase frequency and average transaction value. “Only by leveraging autonomous agents can we understand and adapt to ever-changing patterns in customer behavior, inventory costs, and labor availability at scale,” said Arijit Sengupta, CEO of Aible.
Together, Supermicro and its partners are shaping the future of intelligent retail, using AI to drive actionable insights, operational efficiency, and enriched customer experiences across both physical stores and supply chains.
