From Back-Office Fulfillment to Customer-Facing Kiosks, Epson to Demonstrate Practical Automation for Today’s Retail Service Demands
Epson Robots will showcase robotic automation solutions designed to help retailers improve speed, consistency and service across both back-of-house operations and customer-facing experiences at Shoptalk Spring, the world’s largest annual event on retail innovation, e-commerce and technology. At the Epson Robots booth (#2082), attendees can explore how compact robots and integrated software can support retail workflows such as light fulfillment, packaging and kitting, labeling, and automated kiosk concepts. No prior automation experience is needed – bring a workflow or pain point and Epson can help map where robotics may fit.
Featured technologies include: Epson Robots brings automation solutions from back-office fulfillment to customer-facing kiosks at Shoptalk Spring 2026.
