Kusukela ekuqaleni kwekhulu elisha, ubuchwepheshe obusha obumelelwa yi-AI kanye ne-AR buqhubeke nokukhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kokuzenzakalela komhlaba wonke. Ubuhlakani bedijithali sebuyinto ebalulekile ekuhleleni kwamanje kwamabhizinisi okuthengisa. Ngokusebenzisa amandla kwezobuchwepheshe, amabhizinisi angenza ngcono ukusebenza kwawo kahle, ukufinyelela kwabathengi, isakhiwo senhlangano, isakhiwo sezindleko, njll. yiziqondiso izinkampani eziningi zokuthengisa ezizihlolayo njengamanje, ikakhulukazi ukuthuthukiswa kochungechunge lokuhlinzeka kanye namakhono obuhlakani bedijithali bezokuthutha kuyinto eza kuqala ekuhleleni kwesikhathi esizayo kwezinkampani zokuthengisa.
Muva nje, i-Walmart Inc. iqalise ingqungquthela yomphakathi wokutshalwa kwezimali ka-2023 yezinsuku ezimbili, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, inkampani iphinde yaphinda isiqondiso sayo sekota yokuqala nonyaka ogcwele wezimali ka-2024. Ngokusho kwemibiko, ngomsebenzi omkhulu, i-Walmart iklama kabusha uchungechunge lwayo lokuhlinzeka ukuze ihlangabezane nezidingo zamakhasimende ngenethiwekhi ye-omni-channel ehlakaniphile nexhumene kakhulu, etholakala ngokusebenzisa idatha enkulu, isofthiwe ehlakaniphile kanye nokwenza izinto ngokuzenzakalela. Ukuze kuthuthukiswe isitokwe, ukunemba kwesitokwe kanye nezinqubo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi amakhasimende athenga esitolo, ayalanda noma ayaletha.I-Wal-Mart ihlela ukufeza izinsizakalo ezizenzakalelayo cishe kuma-65% ezitolo zayo ekupheleni konyaka wezimali ka-2026, futhi cishe ama-55% ezikhungo zayo zokugcwalisa azosebenzisa izikhungo ezizenzakalelayo, kanti isilinganiso sezindleko ngeyunithi ngayinye sizokhuphuka cishe ngama-20%.Ezinsukwini eziyishumi nje ezedlule, inkampani yamemezela izinhlelo zokuxosha abasebenzi abangaphezu kuka-2,000.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Walmart ichaze indlela inkampani elindele ukuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali kwayo kokukhula kushintshe ngayo isimo sayo sezezimali, okugxile ezintweni ezintathu ezibalulekile: ukukhula kokuthengisa kusuka kumodeli yebhizinisi ye-omnichannel; ukuhlukahluka kwemithombo yemali engenayo ngezigaba ezithuthukisiwe kanye nengxube yebhizinisi; ukwanda ngokusebenzisa inzuzo ephezulu eqinisekisiwe ekutshalweni kwezimali, ukushayela amandla okusebenza kanye nokuthuthukisa amamajini okusebenza akhuphukayo. Kubikwa ukuthi akuyona i-Wal-Mart kuphela, kodwa ne-Amazon, umqashi wesibili ngobukhulu e-United States, nayo ithuthukisa ukuzenzekela kwebhizinisi ngesivinini esigcwele. Njengoba sonke sazi, okwamanje kunezinhlobo ezimbili zezitolo ezivamile ezingenabantu emakethe yasekhaya nakwamanye amazwe, esinye izitolo ezingenabantu ezinobuchwepheshe bokubona komshini, esinye izitolo ezingenabantu ezineUbuchwepheshe be-RFID, kanye nezinye izinhlanganisela zemishini yokuthengisa. Imodi ye-RFID ikhethiwe.
Kusukela ngo-Agasti 2018, i-Walmart yasungula uhlelo lokuqoqa oluzenzakalelayo i-“Alphabot” esitolo saseSalem eNew Hampshire, e-USA. I-“Alphabot” yasungulwa yi-Alert Innovation, inkampani yezixazululo zokuthengisa ezenzakalelayo. Uhlelo lwe-Alphabot luhlanganisa uhlelo lokugcina nokubuyisa oluzenzakalelayo, uhlelo lokuqoqa oluzenzakalelayo, kanye nohlelo lokulawula oluyinhloko. Irobhothi lizohamba ezindaweni ezahlukene zokugcina impahla ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lokulawula oluyinhloko; kodwa imikhiqizo yezolimo kanye nama-oda okudla amasha njengenyama kusazokhethwa ngesandla futhi kupakishwe. I-Walmart yaqalisa uhlelo ngoJanuwari 2019 ngemuva konyaka wokuhlolwa. Uhlelo okwamanje lusebenza endaweni yokugcina impahla engamamitha-skwele angu-20,000. Izinqola zokuthenga ezizenzakalelayo zesistimu ziqoqa izinto ezithile amakhasimende azi-oda ku-inthanethi, kufaka phakathi izimpahla eziqandisiwe neziqandisiwe, bese zizithumela ezindaweni zokusebenza lapho zihlolwa khona, zipakishwe futhi zilethwe ngabasebenzi be-Walmart. Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-Alphabot kuzosiza ekwenzeni lula inqubo yoku-oda ku-inthanethi ye-Walmart, kuncishiswe izikhathi zokulethwa futhi kuthuthukiswe ukunemba. Ngo-2022, i-Wal-Mart izokwandisa insimu yokusetshenziswa kwamathegi e-RFID futhi idinge abaphakeli bayo ukuthi basebenzise amathegi e-RFID kagesi emikhiqizweni emisha edinga ukwandiswa ngaphambi kokuba ibekwe emashalofini ezitolo. Ekuqaleni i-Wal-Mart yayisebenzisa amathegi e-RFID kagesi emkhakheni wezingubo nezicathulo, kodwa kulokhu izokhula iye emasimini amaningi.
Ngemva kokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-RFID, i-Wal-Mart ingabusebenzisa kangcono ukuphatha impahla, ngaleyo ndlela isheshise ukusebenza kahle kokunikezwa kwemikhiqizo futhi ivumele amakhasimende ukuthi ajabulele ulwazi olungcono lokuthenga. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokombono wezindleko zokusebenza zesitolo esikhulu, ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe be-RFID kunganciphisa futhi abasebenzi, ezokuthutha kanye nezinye izindleko, futhi kuqhubekisele phambili nokufeza ukuphathwa okungenamuntu. Ngokuphathelene nohlelo olukhishwe emhlanganweni womphakathi wokutshalwa kwezimali we-Wal-Mart, iphini likamongameli ophethe kanye nesikhulu sezezimali esikhulu uJohn David Rainey (JohnDavidRainey) ukhulume ngakho. “Sikholelwa ukuthi sisesimweni esihle sokusiza ekuchazeni isahluko esisha ekuthengiseni futhi senze kanjalo ngenkathi siqhuba ukukhula okuqinile kanye nokubuyiselwa kwabanikazi bamasheya,” esho. Sikholelwa ukuthi ukukhula kokuthengisa okucishe kube ngu-4% kanye nokukhula kwemali engenayo yokusebenza okusheshayo kuseyizinhloso ezifanele zebhizinisi eminyakeni emi-3-5 ezayo. Ukutshalwa kwezimali esikwenzile kusibeke esimweni esihle sokuletha ukukhula okuzinzile nokuqhubekayo ngenzuzo ephezulu. Uma sifinyelela umgomo wethu wokukhula kokuthengisa ongu-4% eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo, sizofaka ngaphezu kwezigidigidi eziyi-130 zamaRandi ekuthengisweni kusuka ku-$600 billion yethu yamanje. Okubalulekile, sicabanga ukuthi ithuba lokukhula kwemali engenayo yokusebenza eminyakeni emi-3-5 ezayo lingaba ngcono kunalokho okuchazwe.
Ngokwehlukana, inkampani iphinde yaphinda isiqondiso sayo sekota yokuqala yonyaka ka-2024 kanye nonyaka ogcwele: Ukuthengiswa okuhlanganisiwe kuzokwenyuka ngo-4.5% kuya ku-5.0%; imali engenayo yokusebenza ehlanganisiwe izokwenyuka ngo-3.5% kuya ku-4.0% ngemali engaguquki, kuncike ku-LIFO ngamaphuzu angu-235 ayisisekelo. I-EPS elungisiwe engu-$1.25 kuya ku-$1.30, kufaka phakathi umthelela olindelekile ongu-$0.03 ovela ku-LIFO.
