Guidance for Managing Planograms with Amazon Bedrock

Overview

This Guidance demonstrates how to streamline retail planogram creation and compliance using Amazon Bedrock. It shows how to leverage generative AI to efficiently consider multiple factors such as sales data, product velocity, item dimensions, brand colors, and shelf capacity to generate initial planograms. Retailers can automatically generate optimal product layouts and verify shelf compliance through photo analysis, allowing marketing teams to make location-specific adjustments as needed. AI-assisted planogram creation can help retailers optimize processes, increase efficiency, and reallocate resources for more strategic tasks.

Well-Architected Pillars

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

With real-time performance tracking and alerting,Amazon CloudWatch provides comprehensive, proactive monitoring and observability for the Amazon ECS clusters and load balancers. This enables automated operations that help you quickly identify and diagnose issues, reducing the operational burden on your team.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides fine-grained access control for AWS resources, including managing permissions for users, roles, and services. This creates a robust security posture through the principle of least privilege. By only granting the necessary permissions to users and services, you reduce the risk of unauthorized access and better protect against data breaches.

By automatically restarting failed containers and scaling based on demand, Amazon ECS helps maintain consistent availability of the planogram generation service. DynamoDB provides a highly available and durable database for storing planogram data and metadata. Its built-in replication across multiple Availability Zones means that planogram data remains accessible even if one zone experiences an outage. ALB distributes incoming traffic across multiple Amazon ECS tasks so that the application remains responsive, even during high load periods. Health checks and automatic routing to healthy instances help prevent downtime if an individual container or task fails.

Amazon ECS automatically scales the number of container instances based on demand, facilitating efficient deployment of the planogram generation service. Amazon Bedrock provides high-performance, scalable AI models without the need for you to manage infrastructure. Its managed AI capabilities enable rapid planogram creation, significantly reducing time to result.

Amazon S3 offers tiered storage classes based on data access patterns, enabling cost-effective storage of planogram images and related data. For example, it can automatically move older planograms to less expensive storage tiers. Amazon Bedrock is serverless, so you only pay for the actual AI processing used in generating planograms. This removes costly upfront infrastructure investments and reduces spending on idle ML resources.. DynamoDB offers an on-demand capacity mode, enabling the database to automatically scale up or down based on actual usage. This means that you’ll only pay for the actual read and write operations performed.

Amazon ECS consolidates multiple workloads onto shared instances. This is more sustainable than running separate instances for each component, reducing the overall energy consumption and carbon footprint of the planogram generation system. Amazon Bedrock provides serverless AI capabilities, removing the need for dedicated, always-on ML infrastructure. It only consumes AI resources when actively generating planograms, avoiding energy waste. Amazon S3 uses energy-efficient storage systems like Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering, which uses lifecycle policies to automatically transition less frequently accessed data to more sustainable storage tiers.
