7-Eleven is one of those stores you just don’t give a second thought to. It’s just there. Like breathing, you don’t think about it, but it’s essential. A bit like networking, it’s background infrastructure, except instead of bandwidth, it provides bread, late-night snacks, or a morning coffee.
In Issue #2 of the SDxCentral magazine, we get this inside track on the network powering 7-Eleven stores in a nation more obsessed with them than their homeland of America: Taiwan.
There’s also a look at the AI-infused technologies powering its futuristic X-line of convenience stores, and how the retail giant makes use of an open-source and edge-based framework to keep deployment costs low and customer experiences seamless.
