Supermicro’s comprehensive and scalable Edge AI infrastructure
Retail-centric AI applications require sub-second responsiveness, which is only possible, at scale, if data is processed directly at the edge. Supermicro’s Edge AI infrastructure enables the deployment of solutions in distributed environments, such as smart retail stores and supply chains, to provide a complete solution.
Deploying at the edge presents a myriad of unique challenges compared to the data center. Supermicro’s broad Edge AI product portfolio helps customers and partners overcome these challenges while striking the right balance between performance and ROI.
For deployments in harsh environments where conditioned space is not available, the E103 fanless product series brings AI processing power where it previously couldn’t go. Supermicro also offers ventilated small form factor E300 series systems with AI capabilities.
When there is a demanding AI workload at the edge, customers and partners can turn to numerous systems capable of containing the latest discrete GPUs for AI acceleration. Ranging from short depth 1U to larger 4U form factors, solutions can be tailored to customer needs by enabling the latest generation of the NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell series.
Supermicro Smart Store Partners
Supermicro collaborates with ecosystem partners including Everseen, Kinetic Vision, ALLSIDES, LiveX, WobotAI and Aible to create smart stores that positively impact daily retail operations as well as long-term supply chain management.
- Evercheck’s Evercheck solution uses Vision AI to help reduce waste and improve staff productivity and customer experience. Built on the Everseen Vision AI platform, Evercheck detects and deters unwanted behavior during checkout, helping retailers recover losses and streamline in-store operations.
“Everseen has spent years working alongside some of the world’s largest retailers, understanding store realities and solving shrink issues where they actually happen,” said Joe White, CEO of Everseen. “By partnering with Supermicro and leveraging NVIDIA-accelerated computing, Evercheck delivers state-of-the-art, real-time IT insight, transforming store activity into insights that retailers can act on immediately. »
- Wobot AI, focused on creating video AI agents for the physical world, will demonstrate how cameras that retailers already own can be transformed into systems that continually observe, learn, and produce usable information. By converting ordinary video surveillance infrastructure into autonomous agents that can recognize patterns, identify friction, and make decisions, Wobot’s AI agents enable retailers to improve their daily operations with practical, measurable results.
“By working with Supermicro and NVIDIA at the edge, we are able to deploy Video AI agents in a way that is scalable, reliable, and focused on real-time operational insights, not experimentation,” said Will Kelso, president, revenue and growth at Wobot AI.
- LiveX AI – “Retail is entering an era where AI agents become the default interaction layer between brands and customers,” said Jerry Li, co-founder and CEO of LiveX AI. “With NVIDIA’s accelerated AI and Supermicro’s edge infrastructure, we can deploy a useful, human-like AI agent directly into physical spaces, such as kiosks or holograms, bringing the speed, intelligence and continuity of digital experiences to physical environments. This collaboration makes AI agents usable, in real time, where customers actually are.

- Kinetic Vision and ALLSIDES combine their expertise for a True Digital Twin solution designed to develop, test and optimize supply chain processes, checkouts and other complex systems.
“The combination of Supermicro’s optimized, high-reliability infrastructure and NVIDIA’s accelerated computing stack gives Kinetic Vision the foundation to innovate rapidly. Together, we help retailers move from experimentation to production-ready AI solutions that drive measurable operational and customer experience gains,” says Jeremy Jarratt, CEO of Kinetic Vision.
Franz Tschimben, CEO of ALLSIDES, added: “Building on the combined strengths of NVIDIA and Supermicro, we offer a high-fidelity 3D digital twin data layer for AI training that enables retailers to power applications across the entire retail value chain – from training robots with physical AI, to production and production planning, to virtual store layout and customer feedback systems. consumers, through e-commerce integrations – helping to drive higher conversion rates, faster decision-making and greater operational efficiency.
- Supermicro will also showcase Superb AI’s retail-focused VSS solution, combining Superb AI’s proprietary VLM with NVIDIA AI Blueprint components to enable subjective reasoning capabilities, natural language search, automated incident summarization, and customer behavior insights across store camera networks.
- Aible will highlight its automated agent solution, which analyzes large amounts of data across millions of models to explain changes in retail KPIs, such as average purchase amount or number of purchases. Aible will also demonstrate how the latest NVIDIA Retail plans can be integrated into agentic solutions that automatically personalize customer experiences and optimize retail operations at scale.
Arijit Sengupta, CEO of Aible, adds: “Today’s market and working conditions are constantly evolving. Only autonomous agents can understand and adapt to these ever-changing patterns of customer behavior, inventory costs and supply, and workforce access at scale. In collaboration with NVIDIA and Supermicro, Aible brings autonomous agents subject to professional user scrutiny to the forefront of retail.
These smart retail solutions will be showcased by Supermicro and its partners at NRF: Retail’s Big Show in New York from January 11-13.
