Walmart Inc. said in a press release on Tuesday that it aims for 65 percent of its stores to be served by automation by 2026. The letter said that an “omnichannel” network will be used, which includes greater use of data, more intelligent software, and automation.

“Walmart showcased its supply-chain innovation Tuesday at its Brooksville, Florida, regional distribution center as one piece of how the company is building a scaled system of supply-chain capabilities that uses a combination of data, software, and robotics,” the press release reads.
