Milpitas, CA (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Robomart, the Silicon Valley based leader in store-hailing autonomous vehicles, today announced their cooperation with Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE:AVY), a Fortune 500® company and global leader in materials science and manufacturing specializing in the design and manufacture of a wide variety of labeling and functional materials.

Robomart Founder and CEO Ali Ahmed commented: “We are excited to cooperate with Avery Dennison, a global leader in RFID technology and food industry solutions designed to improve food safety, labor efficiency, traceability and the consumer experience. Robomart’s success is dependent on creating a frictionless shopping experience and Avery Dennison’s RFID inlays will play a major role in ensuring our system works seamlessly.
