Inventory robots coming to Texas, New Mexico supermarkets. Here’s what it will, won’t do
Shoppers at Albertsons, United and Market Street supermarkets across Texas and New Mexico will soon see a new entity roaming the aisles.
That new entity will be a long rectangle of black, white and red or orange on wheels. It is a robot named Tally, and is part of a new improvement initiative that began in October across these supermarkets, the company confirmed on Friday.
What is Tally, and what does it do?
Tally is an “innovative, autonomous robot that is part of Simbe’s market-leading store intelligence platform.” The robot will travel the aisles of select stores three to four times every day to scan shelves, and can identify as much as 10 times more issues than manual checks.
The scans will alert stores and “business intelligence teams” daily with data, which can be used to show what needs restocking and new price tags. In turn, the release stated this should “positively impact sales as stores see better product availability and pricing accuracy.”
The release also stated that the implementation of Tally is to “complement the work of store team members, not replace them.” By taking care of the repetitive inventory tasks, employees will be free to work on different duties.

“The Tally robot allows us to address inventory and other challenges withincredible precision, enabling our store teams to focus on what matters most—serving our guests,” said Reyes Jimenez, chief information officer of The United Family.
Tally will operate autonomously, but discreetly. While it works, it will make soft noises to alert customers to its presence. If it encounters a customer, it will either pause, go around or turn around and come back later. Customers will not be photographed or filmed at any point by Tally.
United welcomed customers to provide feedback on Tally during the pilot, with will go from October 2024 through January 2025. At the end, The United Family will review the data and discuss next steps, which could include more stores getting Tally robots.
“We are excited about the improvements this AI and Robotics technology will bring to our stores and are eager to evaluate its potential for expansion to other locations,” Jimenez said.

Playoff-Race closing: New Mexico United takes on Colorado Springs Switchbacks – New Mexico United
New Mexico United travels to Colorado Springs this Wednesday for a Western Conference showdown in the USL Championship playoff race.
The Black & Yellow currently sit fifth in the USL Championship, fighting for the postseason and will look to keep building momentum as the regular season winds down. With a few matches remaining, every point matters, and United will aim to deliver a strong midweek performance on the road.
Wednesday’s contest will be the third meeting between United and the Switchbacks FC this year. In their previous two encounters, United secured a home victory in June during the Jagermeister cup, and drew in the first encounter in June. This clash gives United a chance to claim the season series and strengthen their hold on a playoff spot.
Standout Performers: Archimède and Keller
Forward Luther Archimède continues to be a spark for United’s attack, bringing energy, pace, and aerial ability. His late equalizing goal against Monterey Bay highlighted his gift for delivering in clutch moments. The sixth man has contributed two goals in six games off the bench, proving his talent.
Defender Kipp Keller has been a rock at the back for United since arriving, with his calm composure, strength, and sharp defensive instincts. His leadership on the backline and ability to read the game have been crucial in keeping opponents on their toes. His presence will be needed to keep Colorado’s attackers in check.
Milestones in Sight: Tambakis
Goalkeeper Alex Tambakis is on the verge of making USL Championship history, needing just one more clean sheet to become the league’s all-time leader. After recording his 58th career shutout recently—tying the current record held by Evan Newton—Tambakis will have the opportunity to stand alone at the top when United takes the field Wednesday night in Colorado.
About Colorado Springs
The Switchbacks have fought their way into playoff contention with their mix of grit and attacking ability. On the Attacking side Marco Micaletto has been getting it done, leading the team in goals with six. On the back line, Matthew Mahoney provides a physical and clinical presence, leading the Switchbacks in almost every defensive category this season.
Looking Ahead
Following Wednesday’s trip to Colorado, New Mexico United return home hosting Lexington SC on Sunday at 4 PM MT. With the postseason right around the corner, the Black & Yellow remain focused on collecting crucial points and carrying the momentum into October.
