Robot-Run Stockrooms

This Futuristic Shoe Store by Solebox Employs Robots in the Stock Room

In one of its retail locations in Germany, fashion retailer Solebox is now using robots to staff its back shoe stockroom. A bot is able to pick out a customer's preferred size and style and make a delivery to the shop floor so that a consumer may try on a desired piece of footwear.

Typically, shoe stockrooms are the mysterious places that retail employees disappear to for a time, but Solebox's retail environment makes this functional back room a feature with a glass panel. This display allows consumers to see the incredible robot at work.

This Shoebox store sets a new precedent for retailers who deal in shoes and beyond. As well as helping to automate a simple task, Solebox transforms the experience of fetching shoes into a theatrical retail event.
