MEXICO | Walmart de México y Centroamérica has expanded its collaboration with Vusion to deploy its EdgeSense connected store platform across its Walmart Express stores and to begin transforming its Supercentre fleet.
This initiative builds on the growing global collaboration between Walmart and Vusion, following the successful deployment of Vusion’s connected store technologies across Walmart US stores. The expansion reinforced Vusion’s role as a strategic technology partner supporting Walmart’s connected store transformation.
Under this agreement, Walmart Express stores will be fully deployed with EdgeSense technology by the end of 2026, marking the first large-scale rollout of the platform in Latin America. Following this phase, Walmart Mexico also plans to expand the deployment to Walmart Supercentres, significantly accelerating the company’s digital store modernisation strategy.
During the initial deployment, Walmart Express stores will be equipped with more than 1.7 million electronic shelf labels and over 180,000 EdgeSense smart rails, creating one of the largest connected-store technology deployments in Latin America.
Walmart Mexico will also begin a pilot deployment in its Bodega format to evaluate how EdgeSense technology can support additional store formats as part of the company’s long-term connected store strategy.
EdgeSense is Vusion’s next-generation connected store platform, combining intelligent shelf infrastructure, computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), electronic shelf labels, and real-time retail data to create a unified operating system for physical stores.
The platform enables retailers to automate store operations, improve inventory accuracy, and unlock new data-driven capabilities across merchandising and shopper engagement.
Through this initiative, Walmart Mexico aims to:
- Deliver a more personalised and seamless customer experience
- Improve associate productivity through workflow automation and reduce manual tasks
- Modernise stores with AI-ready infrastructure to support future innovation
“The deployment of EdgeSense will help us further modernise our store operations and empower our associates to focus on serving customers,” said Paul Lewellen, Chief Operating Officer of Walmart de México y Centroamérica.
“This initiative represents an important step in strengthening our operational capabilities while continuing to improve the shopping experience for millions of customers across Mexico.”
With this deployment, Walmart Mexico becomes the first retailer in Latin America to deploy EdgeSense at scale, positioning the company as a leader in retail innovation across the region.
Vusion looks forward to supporting Walmart Mexico as it continues to advance its connected store strategy and accelerate the digital transformation of its retail operations.
