Inside the Future Store: Hanshow’s Real-Time Innovation at I-Zone

At Booth No.8 in the I-Zone, Hanshow presented an interactive showcase themed “Powering Your Future Store,” highlighting four core pillars of the future store: real-time pricing and shelf operations powered by ESLs; smart carts that enhance the shopping experience with autonomous navigation and seamless checkout; GenAI-enabled journeys offering contextual promotions and personalized assistance; and green technologies such as solar storage charging systems and in-store energy saving solutions.

Visitors explored how these technologies interoperate to elevate operational efficiency, enhance shopper experience, and advance sustainability. The showcase drew strong interest from retailers, tech leaders, and media, offering a vivid glimpse into how Hanshow is bridging digital and physical retail to deliver a unified, scalable transformation for digital and physical retail.

AI, IoT & RMNs: Driving the Next Wave of Retail Ecosystem Transformation

On June 12 in the Plenary Hall, a full house of industry attendees was eager to hear how AI, IoT, and Retail Media are reshaping the retail ecosystem. Philippe Brochard—Tech and Innovation Advisory Board Member at Hanshow and former Retail CEO, moderated the plenary panel “Redesigning Retail: AI, IoT and RMN – Empowering Tech-Driven Experiences and Sustainable Growth”, joined by:

Klaus Smets, Vice President, Hanshow Europe
Bas Komen, Director of Sales & Marketing for Retail Media, Albert Heijn
Bart Zoetmulder, Head of Market, Havas Media Netherlands

Philippe opened with four pivotal shifts: the rise of Retail Media Networks, the need for AI readiness, stores as digital platforms, and leadership in sustainable transformation.

Klaus Smets framed Hanshow as a key enabler connecting retailers, brands, and media agencies. He emphasized that the next frontier in Retail Media is in-store, where shelves, carts, and screens form a unified media network.

“By turning physical stores into data-driven, omnichannel touchpoints, we can synchronize availability, pricing, and messaging right where decisions are made,” he noted. Klaus added that Hanshow’s all-in-one platform, combining ESLs, smart carts, and digital signages—enables intelligent, media-capable stores powered by AI, backed by strong local service, and anchored in ESG principles.

Bas Komen detailed Albert Heijn’s Retail Media Services aim to build brands and drive conversion for CPG brands, built on insights and strategic partnerships. Bart Zoetmulder emphasized Havas’s shift to a tech-first agency model, leveraging real-time shopper data and ‘Havas Forecast’ to scale personalization.

The panel concluded that retail transformation requires collaboration across media, retail, and technology anchored in the store. Hanshow’s mission is to bridge these domains and deliver actionable, data-driven in-store experiences.

Shaping the Future: Smarter, Greener, and Closer to Clients

Hanshow will continue investing in IoT, AI, and communication technologies, —ESLs, digital signage, smart carts, and robots. The company is expanding local service capabilities across Europe, the Americas, and APAC to ensure faster deployment and agile response.

Committed to ESG-aligned innovation, Hanshow aims to reduce environmental impact, and create long-term value through deeper collaboration with global tech and regional partners.

“We’re not just building technology, we’re co-designing the digital roadmap for the next era of retail with our clients,” said Shiguo Hou, CEO of Hanshow. “Innovation must empower, not isolate.”

TestMu AI Adds Evidence Packs to Kane CLI, Turning Every AI Test Run into One Portable, Shareable File7.10.2026 16:29:00 CEST | Press Release

TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, announced evidence packs for Kane CLI, its terminal-first tool for natural language browser and mobile app testing. Every Kane CLI run now produces one sealed .evidence file that holds the complete record of what the AI agent was asked to do, what it did at each step, and what happened. Kane CLI launched in April 2026, giving developers and AI coding agents a way to run tests on real browsers and mobile apps from the terminal, in plain English, with a clear pass-or-fail verdict. Since launch, it has added AI-powered test case generation and the Assurance Lifecycle, which ties tests back to requirement documents. Evidence packs are the next step: a full record of every run.

That proof is often spread across screenshots, log folders, and d
