Walmart de México y Centroamérica, the largest retailer in Mexico, is expanding its use of digital store modernization technology through a collaboration with Vusion, a provider of AI-powered digitalization solutions for physical commerce.

Under the deal, Walmart will deploy Vusion’s “EdgeSense” connected store platform across its Walmart Express stores and begin the transformation of its Supercenter fleet. This initiative following the deployment of Vusion's connected store technologies across Walmart U.S. stores.

Through the plan, 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 Supercenters.

Specifically, Walmart Express stores will be equipped with more than 1.7 million electronic shelf labels and over 180,000 EdgeSense smart rails.

The EdgeSense system combines 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.
