Theft Prevention Solutions for Intelligent Stores
Shrinkage is a growing concern for the retail sector, with losses estimated up to $100B annually in the United State alone. Self-checkout systems are one of the main contributors to this issue, with nearly 7% of all self-checkout transactions contain some form off loss – whether accidental or intentional. AI-based solutions using computer vision enable real-time detection of scanning errors and suspicious behavior as they occur, allowing immediate corrective action. In most cases, self-checkout errors happen by mistake and can be resolved on the spot, converting potential loss into completed sales.
Deploying AI-powered theft prevention requires specialized hardware and software. Together with an ecosystem of technology and implementation partners, Supermicro delivers low-barrier solutions to enable retailers to protect margins, streamline operations, and enhance customer trust.
AI-driven Loss Prevention for Retail
Discover Supermicro’s reference model for loss prevention deployments, combining robust, enterprise-grade edge systems with NVIDIA’s library of development tools and pre-trained models.

Retail AI Systems
Successfully using AI to address retail loss requires data from cameras and barcode scanners to be processed in real-time, with as little delay as possible. The best results will be achieved by running the AI model on-premises in the retail store. Supermicro has a broad portfolio of infrastructure solutions to run edge AI solutions with optimal performance and efficiency, enabling:
- No dependency on external connectivity, which can be costly and prone to downtime
- Fewer security and privacy concerns as camera images are not transmitted live over the internet
- Better scalability as the number of SCO lanes or cameras changes
- Faster rollout to new locations
