Supermicro Complete and scalable Edge AI infrastructure
Retail-focused AI applications require sub-second response times, which is only possible at scale if data is processed right at the edge. Supermicro’s Edge AI infrastructure enables the deployment of solutions in distributed environments, such as intelligent stores and supply chains, to provide a complete solution.
Deployment at the edge presents many unique challenges compared to the data center. Supermicro’s broad Edge AI product portfolio helps customers and partners overcome these challenges while finding the right balance between performance and ROI.
For deployments in harsh environments where conditioned space is not available, the fanless E103 product family brings AI processing power where it couldn’t go before. Supermicro also offers small form factor E300 series systems with AI-enabled fans.
When facing demanding AI workloads at the edge, customers and partners can turn to numerous systems that can include the latest discrete GPUs for AI acceleration. Ranging from 1U short depth to larger 4U form factors, solutions can be tailored to meet customer needs by enabling the latest generation of NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell series.
Supermicro Intelligent shopping partners
Supermicro works with ecosystem partners, including Everseen, Kinetic Vision, ALLSIDES, LiveX, WobotAI and Aible, to create intelligent stores that positively impact everyday retail operations and longer-term supply chain management.
- Everseen’s Evercheck solution uses Vision AI to reduce shrink and improve workforce productivity and customer experiences. Built on the Everseen Vision AI platform, Evercheck detects and deters the recovery of unwanted behavior at checkout, helping retailers recover losses and streamline front-of-store operations.
“Everseen has spent years working with some of the world’s largest retailers, understanding the realities of the store floor and solving loss challenges where they actually occur,” said Joe White, CEO of Everseen. “By partnering with Supermicro and leveraging NVIDIA accelerated computing, Evercheck delivers real-time computer vision to the edge – transforming store activity into information that retailers can act on immediately.”
- Wobot AI, focused on building Video AI Agents for the physical world, will demonstrate how the cameras retailers already own can be turned into systems that continuously observe, learn and produce actionable insight. By transforming ordinary CCTV infrastructure into autonomous agents that recognize patterns, identify frictions and surface decisions, Wobot’s AI Agents enable retailers to improve daily operations with practical and measurable results.
“Working at the edge with Supermicro and NVIDIA allows us to deploy Video AI Agents in a way that is scalable, reliable, and focused on real-time operational insight – not experimentation,” said Will Kelso, President, Revenue & Growth at Wobot AI.
- LiveX AI – “Retail is entering an era where AI agents become the default layer of interaction 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 helpful, 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 for developing, testing and optimizing supply chain processes, checkout stations and other complex systems.
“The combination of Supermicro’s optimized, high-reliability infrastructure and NVIDIA’s accelerated compute stack gives Kinetic Vision the foundation to innovate quickly. Together, we’re helping retailers move from experimentation to production-ready AI solutions that deliver measurable operational and customer experience gains,” said Jeremy Jarratt, CEO of Kinetic Vision.
Franz Tschimben, CEO of ALLSIDES, added: “Building on the combined strengths of NVIDIA and Supermicro, we are delivering a high-fidelity 3D digital dual 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, virtual store layouts and consumer feedback systems and e-commerce integrations – driving higher conversion rates, faster decision-making and greater operational efficiencies.”
- Supermicro will also feature 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 massive amounts of data across millions of patterns to explain changes in retail KPIs such as average purchase amount or number of purchases. Aible will also demonstrate how the latest NVIDIA Retail blueprints can be integrated into agentic solutions that automatically customize customer experiences and optimize retail operations at scale.
Arijit Sengupta, CEO of Aible, added: “Today’s market and labor conditions are constantly changing. Only autonomous agents can understand and adapt to these ever-changing patterns of customer behavior, inventory costs and supply, and labor access at scale. By partnering with NVIDIA and Supermicro, Aible is bringing autonomous agents subject to review by business users to the retail edge.”
These intelligent retail solutions will be demonstrated by Supermicro and its partners at NRF: Retail’s Big Show in New York City from January 11-13.
