W is taking a major step in the evolution of physical retail by expanding its strategic partnership with Vusion to deploy the EdgeSense connected store platform across its Walmart Express estate and begin the modernization of its Walmart Supercenter network.

The initiative marks the first large-scale deployment of EdgeSense in Latin America and positions Walmart Mexico at the forefront of connected retail innovation in the region. The project builds on the wider relationship between Walmart and Vusion, following the successful rollout of Vusion technologies across stores in the United States.
Under the agreement, all Walmart Express stores are expected to be fully equipped with EdgeSense technology by the end of 2026. Walmart Mexico then plans to extend the deployment to its Supercenter locations – creating a foundation for a more automated, data-driven and responsive retail environment.
The scale of the rollout is significant. Walmart Express stores will receive more than 1.7 million electronic shelf labels and more than 180,000 EdgeSense smart rails.
Together, these technologies will create one of the largest connected store deployments in Latin America and provide a platform for future innovation across the retailer’ s operations.
At the heart of the strategy is EdgeSense, Vusion’ s next-generation connected store platform. The solution combines intelligent shelf infrastructure, computer vision, artificial intelligence, electronic shelf labels and realtime retail data into a unified operating system designed specifically for physical stores.
By integrating these technologies, retailers gain greater visibility into inventory levels, product placement and store activity. The platform can automate routine processes, improve stock accuracy and support more informed decision-making through realtime insights.
