Walmart Mexico expands ESL partnership

Walmart de México y Centroamérica is expanding its collaboration with AI digitisation company Vusion

Under this agreement, Walmart Express stores will be fully deployed with EdgeSense technology by the end of 2026, marking the first large-scale rollout of the platform in Latin America. Following this phase, Walmart Mexico also plans to expand the deployment to Walmart Supercenters, significantly accelerating the company’s digital store modernisation strategy.

Across the initial deployment, Walmart Express stores will be equipped with more than 1.7 million electronic shelf labels and over 180,000 EdgeSense smart rails, creating one of the largest connected store technology deployments in Latin America.

Through this initiative, Walmart Mexico aims to deliver a more personalised and seamless customer experience; improve associate productivity through workflow automation; and equip stores with AI-ready infrastructure to support future innovation.

“The deployment of EdgeSense will help us further modernise our store operations and empower our associates to focus on serving customers,” said Paul Lewellen, COO of Walmart de México y Centroamérica. “This initiative represents an important step in strengthening our operational capabilities while continuing to improve the shopping experience for millions of customers across Mexico.”
