The smart retail solution template provides a flexible and ready-to-use structure for building smart retail infrastructures using the OpenIoT IoT platform. As a solution provider, you can serve multiple customers and assign a custom pool of IoT devices to each to monitor critical assets in their supermarkets. Customers can easily upload custom floor plans, install devices on-site, and logically place them on the dashboard layout to mirror the physical environment.

With built-in alarm logic and fully configurable threshold values per device, users can detect anomalies such as temperature fluctuations or unauthorized access without requiring complex setup. The template also includes interactive dashboards that allow both providers and customers to monitor current and historical status of their supermarkets, empowering data-driven decisions, operational efficiency, and a higher standard of safety and service.

Summary of smart retail

OpenIoT's smart retail solution is a comprehensive solution that provides centralized monitoring of store operations, enhances safety through automated alarms and event logs, and reduces costs associated with equipment failure and product spoilage. It also improves staff efficiency by streamlining event response and automating routine checks. More than just data visualization, this solution transforms retail infrastructure into a smart, predictable, and adaptable environment that creates value for both customers and businesses.

Benefits of Smart Retail Solutions

Smart retail systems create more efficient, profitable, and customer-oriented retail experiences by monitoring store operations, customer behavior, inventory management, and environmental conditions in real-time. With the OpenIoT platform, store infrastructure can be centrally managed, analyzed, and operation processes can be optimized.

In-Store Behavior Analysis

By analyzing customer density, visit times, and movement patterns, store layout and sales strategies are optimized. Customer experience is improved.

Inventory and Shelf Management

By monitoring product stock levels and shelf fill rates, missing products are quickly detected. Stock losses decrease and sales opportunities increase.

Environmental Conditions and Product Protection

By monitoring temperature, humidity, and environmental conditions, especially food and sensitive products are protected. Product quality and shelf life are improved.

Energy and Operation Efficiency

By monitoring lighting, cooling systems, and equipment, energy consumption is optimized. Operating costs are reduced.

Security and Asset Tracking

By monitoring store equipment and critical assets, the risk of loss and unauthorized use is reduced. Operational security is increased.

Data Analytics and Decision Support

By analyzing collected data, insights into sales performance, customer trends, and operational processes are obtained. Data-driven decision making is supported.

Applications of Smart Retail Solutions

Although smart retail solutions were initially designed for retail store environments, the versatility and scalability of the OpenIoT IoT platform provides a perfect fit for a wide range of industries where real-time monitoring, environmental control, and asset visibility are critical.

Pharmacy Chains

Smart retail solutions allow pharmacy networks to ensure safe storage of medicines by monitoring refrigeration units, ensuring regulatory compliance, and detecting unauthorized access.

Logistics and Cold Chain Warehouses

This platform helps logistics operators maintain sensitive environmental conditions in storage facilities, monitor entry points, and comply with food safety standards.

Food Courts and Restaurant Chains

Restaurants and food courts can track equipment health, detect fire risks, and monitor access to restricted areas in real-time using OpenIoT.

Gas Station Conveniences

Convenience stores benefit from automated cooling monitoring based on real-time telemetry data, security alarms, and predictive maintenance systems.

Hospital Cafeterias and Institutional Kitchens

Institutional kitchens use smart retail solutions to ensure food safety, prevent equipment failure, and optimize stock levels through smart shelf monitoring.

Advantages of OpenIoT

Data visualization

Visualize data with interactive, multi-state dashboards that require no coding. Customize with built-in charts, gauges, maps and special components.

Connectivity

Connect devices directly with HTTP, CoAP, MQTT, LwM2M and SNMP. Securely integrate devices on your local network into the cloud using OpenIoT Gateway via Modbus, BLE, BACnet and OPC-UA.

Data processing

Define application logic with a drag-and-drop rule chain designer. The Rule Engine uses message queues for reliable data processing.

Scalability

Supports deployments providing high availability with Kubernetes or bare-metal. Horizontally scalable; can manage millions of devices.

LoRaWAN and SigFox

Easily connect LoRaWAN devices with standard network servers like TTN, LORIOT, ChirpStack; connect SigFox devices via back-end integrations.

Security

OpenIoT protects your data with RSA and ECDSA encryption algorithms. Secure communication is provided via TLS (TCP) and DTLS (UDP). Role-based access control enhances platform security.
