星巴克借助西雅图初创公司技术，推出自动化库存盘点系统。
内容总结：
星巴克于本周三宣布与华盛顿州雷德蒙德的初创企业NomadGo达成合作，旨在通过数字化技术优化门店库存清点流程。该公司将为员工配备移动设备及NomadGo研发的智能盘点系统，该系统综合运用计算机视觉、空间计算和增强现实技术，实现库存自动化管理。
目前该技术已在北美超过1.1万家星巴克门店部署，预计今年九月末将覆盖所有直营门店。创立于2017年的NomadGo每日处理超过百万件商品，其客户涵盖餐饮及零售行业。该公司的边缘计算技术可逐排扫描商品，实时显示清点结果并同步至现有库存管理系统。
NomadGo首席执行官大卫·格雷施勒表示："库存管理长期以来依赖人工操作，存在效率低下且易出错的痛点。我们通过技术革新实现了自动化、智能化且充满趣味的新型盘点方式。"值得一提的是，该公司在2020年疫情期间曾推出门店人流监测与防疫合规性检测产品。
此次合作是星巴克数字化转型的最新举措。今年夏季，该品牌还推出了基于生成式人工智能的"绿点助手"（Green Dot Assist）咖啡师辅助系统，并通过多项技术升级优化订单处理与人力调配机制。

Starbucks announced Wednesday that it is partnering with Redmond, Wash.-based startup NomadGo to help streamline how its employees take stock of inventory inside stores.
Starbucks is equipping workers with mobile devices and NomadGo’s software that uses computer vision technology, spatial computing, and augmented reality to automate inventory counting.
The system is already deployed in more than 11,000 Starbucks locations across North America and will be live in all company-operated stores by the end of September.
Founded in 2017, NomadGo processes more than 1 million items daily with customers in the food and beverages industry, as well as the retail sector.
The company’s tech runs on-device and counts each item within rows. It displays results on the device and syncs data with existing inventory management platforms.
“Since the dawn of time, inventory has been a manual, tedious, and inaccurate task,” NomadGo CEO David Greschler said in a statement. “We’ve transformed it to be automated, intelligent, and fun with a company mission to count everything of value in the world.”
During the pandemic in 2020, the startup released a product to help physical retailers measure store occupancy and density counts, and also measure mask and social distancing compliance.
Greschler, a former director at Microsoft, founded the company with Jonah Friedl, chief product officer. NomadGo raised $1.5 million last year. Investors include Cercano Management, Flying Fish, and Fitz Gate.
Earlier this summer, Starbucks rolled out “Green Dot Assist,” a generative AI-powered assistant for baristas. The company is also using new tech to improve order fulfillment and staffing levels.
