Supermicro® (NASDAQ:SMCI), with 30+ years of leadership in Enterprise, cloud, AI, and 5G Telco/Edge Infrastructure solutions, pioneers the industry with Building Block Solutions® and Green Computing servers. Its customizable, efficient, and sustainable IT offerings such as liquid-cooling technology redefine performance standards and environmental responsibility.

Self-checkout (SCO) systems are being widely adopted and will continue to expand with an expected 90% annual growth. SCOs create numerous benefits for customers and businesses by simultaneously speeding up the checkout process and saving costs. SCOs are not without challenges, though, such as increased amounts of shrinkage.

Thanks to recent developments in AI, solutions have emerged that give retailers the tools to optimize self-checkout systems. AI-driven applications can help to counter retail loss, enhance convenience for customers, and provide personalized recommendations, to name a few examples.

Join Supermicro and AI pioneer Centific as they dive into the capabilities of AI and illustrate how retailers can leverage this technology to enhance their self-checkout locations.

Retail Spotlight: Using AI to Streamline Self-Checkout Systems

Telecom operators need to stay on top of new technologies to remain competitive. Advancements in Generative AI (GenAI) will impact Telco IT, core infrastructure and RAN operations. While this creates countless new opportunities, it also requires organizations to revisit their compute infrastructure. GPU accelerators to train AI models and inference data need to be available throughout the network to implement applications designed to streamline operations, deliver new solutions, and optimize the network itself. Enabling this capacity requires infrastructure updates to deliver the necessary performance, power, and cooling, but also unlocks opportunities to reduce operational expenses.

Join experts from Supermicro for this webinar, where we'll cover:

- the impact of GenAI on telecom
- the topics and challenges telecom organizations will face in 2025
- a look ahead to the upcoming MWC event in Barcelona, where Supermicro is showcasing its latest infrastructure solutions

Presenters: 

- Michael Clegg, VP & GM 5G/Edge, Supermicro

- Yaming Wang, Sr. Director 5G and Edge Products, Supermicro

- Cyril Barranta, Digital Marketing, Supermicro (Host)
