Use Case
A supermarket chain uses Ombrulla's AI cameras to track product freshness in the produce section. The system detects early spoilage in vegetables and updates the digital twin to adjust reordering patterns. Staff replace items proactively, reducing waste by 25% and improving customer satisfaction.
Business Impact
Fewer Stockouts
Ensures shelves are always filled with the right products.
Reduced Losses
Minimizes shrinkage and waste by catching issues early.
Improved Customer Experience
Maintains product quality and availability at all times.
Asset Performance Management (APM)
Maximize Equipment Reliability & Performance
Retail equipment—HVAC, refrigeration units, checkout systems, and warehouse robotics—operate continuously where unexpected failures disrupt operations and cost thousands per hour. Traditional reactive maintenance approaches lead to costly unplanned downtime and shortened equipment lifecycles.
How Ombrulla Helps
IoT-Powered Monitoring
Sensors track HVAC, refrigeration units, checkout systems, and warehouse robotics.

Predictive Maintenance
AI forecasts breakdowns in cooling, lighting, or POS systems before they occur.
Learn More
Edge AI Reliability
On-site pods deliver instant alerts for critical equipment performance.
Learn More
Use Case
A retail distribution center deploys Ombrulla's APM pods on refrigeration units. The system detects irregular compressor activity, predicting failure. Maintenance is scheduled during low demand hours, preventing spoilage of perishable goods worth $750K.
Business Impact
Reduced Downtime
Keeps refrigeration, checkout, and storage systems running 24/7.
Extended Asset Life
Improves longevity of costly retail equipment.
Cost Optimization
Cuts repair expenses and lowers energy costs.
Worker Tracking & Workplace Safety
Real-Time Protection for Retail & Warehouse Environments
Retail and warehouse environments expose workers to moving equipment, heavy loads, and high-risk zones daily. Traditional safety measures often react too late to prevent accidents.
How Ombrulla Helps
Smart Wearables
IoT badges monitor warehouse staff location and vitals during long shifts.
Learn More
Dynamic Safety Zones
AI geo-fences prevent staff from entering forklift paths or restricted storage areas.
Learn More
Proactive Alerts
Real-time alerts warn workers about unsafe conditions like overheating or excessive load handling.
Learn More
Use Case
In a mega-warehouse, Ombrulla's wearable system detects a worker entering a forklift lane during peak operations. The system halts the forklift and sends alerts to both driver and worker, preventing a collision. The event is logged for compliance and training.
Business Impact
Safer Workplaces
Reduces injuries in warehouses and retail backrooms.
Compliance Ready
Generates audit logs for labor safety standards.
Higher Workforce Productivity
Protects workers' health, reducing fatigue and absenteeism.
Agentic AI for Decision-Making
Intelligent Automation for Retail Operations
Modern retail operations generate massive amounts of data from inventory, equipment monitoring, and safety systems. Manual decision-making can't keep pace with the speed required for optimal retail performance.
How Ombrulla Helps
Unified Retail Intelligence
Aggregates store sales, inventory levels, equipment data, and workforce analytics.
Learn More
AI Recommendations
Suggests price adjustments, restocking actions, or workforce reallocations.
Learn More
Autonomous Execution
Executes routine decisions like reordering fast-moving products or adjusting energy use automatically.
Learn More
Use Case
In an electronics manufacturing plant, Ombrulla's Agentic AI notices rising defect rates in a batch of circuit boards. It recommends slowing the assembly line by 8%, dispatching a maintenance crew to recalibrate soldering robots, and running a defect impact simulation. With one approval, the AI executes the plan—protecting output quality while maintaining productivity.
Business Impact
Rapid Response
Shortens reaction time to production or safety issues.
Error Reduction
AI minimizes mistakes that result from human oversight.
Competitive Advantage
Boosts efficiency, quality, and safety simultaneously.
Use Case
A retail chain integrates Ombrulla's Agentic AI into its ERP. During a heatwave, the AI detects a surge in cold beverage sales, predicts rising demand, and automatically triggers reorders to suppliers. It also adjusts refrigeration loads in warehouses to handle the increase. Stores stay fully stocked, and sales increase by 18% during the season.
Business Impact
Smarter Operations
Improves stock management and reduces waste.
Higher Margins
Optimizes pricing, promotions, and inventory flow.
Customer Loyalty
Delivers a seamless shopping experience.
