Building on the success of Stockwell and PicoCooler Vision, both powered by computer vision and AI, our new modular cabinets give foodservice operators practical ways to improve the customer experience. The technology opens up new placement opportunities across sites and makes it straightforward to retire ageing vending machines. Selectable build options combined with customisable settings allow tailored setups for almost any space. A key addition is age verification for selling age-restricted items. With adjustable day and time windows to align with local regulations, operators can ease the staff burden of checking ID while enabling customers to buy what they want in a self-service format.
PicoCooler Vision with Age Verification
Immediately available is the Ambient Vision add-on, which connects to a PicoCooler Vision. The ambient cabinet is a controlled-access solution enabled through the existing payment terminal on the PicoCooler Vision. With a single transaction, customers can shop both the refrigerated and ambient sides of the smart store, with a no-scan experience powered by computer vision. In addition to the standard Ambient Vision add-on, 365 will offer a larger model for expanded merchandising space. With a frame size around 40% larger than the base model, the shelving supports a broader product range.
Ambient Wide Bank
“Data, AI, computer vision, consumer engagement, these are all technologies invested in and pioneered by 365. Our new products combine these technologies and are already in high demand within our Convenience Services customer base, and are now being adopted by retail, hospitality and healthcare,” said Joe Hessling, Founder and CEO of 365 Retail Markets. “We believe these products will become mainstream tools to get goods to customers in a safe, secure and efficient way for years to come.”
Smart cabinets can be ordered now in custom combinations, with one cashless payment device managing up to three zones. Variable design layouts create more options for optimising available retail space. They also support multiple temperature combinations. Ambient and chilled products can sit side by side in modular cabinets with variable sizing, and 365 plans to add a vision-enabled freezer in the coming months. The PicoAmbient Vision is also in development as a standalone module in both standard and wide versions, creating more options to replace a traditional snack vending machine while delivering a cleaner, more enjoyable customer experience.
