CES Asia 2018 runs from 13-15 June 2018 in Shanghai, Suning's booth is located at the No. 2002, N2 Area

Suning's first self-service store, powered by big data, facial recognition and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), made its debut in Nanjing in August 2017. As the industry's first company to commercialize the unmanned store concept, Suning first unveiled the Biu store to the world at CES 2018 held in Las Vegas earlier this year, captivating thousands of visitors from around the globe. Suning currently operates five unmanned stores in Nanjing, Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing in China.

At CES Asia this week, Suning will demonstrate its latest innovations in smart retail solutions and showcase groundbreaking experiences that deliver intelligent and technology-driven services and products in ecosystem-like areas. The unmanned store installed at Suning's booth at CES Asia is an upgraded version of the previous pop-up unmanned store unveiled in Las Vegas, offering more practical and diversified experiences related to smart retail consumption. Some of these include Suning's Anywhere AR, which enables consumers to view virtual products on real screens to make purchasing decisions more efficiently; the Smart Sue Shopping Assistant, which provides shopping guidance services to customers through text and voice interaction; and Smart Shelves, which integrate gravitational sensing and facial recognition technology for automated checkout and personalized shopping recommendations.

On site, Suning will also showcase its key smart logistics products including delivery drones, autonomous delivery vehicles, AGV robots and Suning's self-developed Sharing Express Box. Furthermore, Suning's smart home intelligent terminals such as PPTV and Magic Mirror are expected to provide pioneering insights into smart life experiences in the near future.

Qiao Xinliang, Vice President of Suning Technology and Chief Executive of Suning Data Cloud Company, stated, "Our smart retail largely depends on automatic data processing of retail factors and intelligence of retail operations. Building on our rich experience in omnichannel retail, we have established a solid foundation in cloud computing, IoT and AI, through which we provide better services to our customers and continuously improve our services. CES Asia will be a platform for our innovation products and services to be experienced more properly."

On the 13th of this month, Suning and the China Household Electric Appliance Research Institute held the 'Created in China' forum at CES Asia. The forum explored trends in China's electronics industry, where Suning Vice Chairman Sun Weimin delivered a speech on Suning's smart retail experience.
