Hubz, a product line specializing in smart, unattended retail points of sale, has announced the North American general availability of its hubz smart cooler, according to a press release.

The hubz smart cooler, a partnership among Parlevel Systems, Shekel Brainweigh and Imbera Cooling, was introduced to the retail market in December 2020 and, through field testing, has proven its benefits for retailers and vending operators.

Powered by Shekel's product aware technology, an array of IoT load sensors and advanced machine learning algorithms, Parlevel's management system and Imbera's cooler technology, the solution detects which product customers select and accurately charges them as they close the hubz cooler.

While the hubz cooler is open, customers can browse food and beverage options, select multiple products and return previously selected items.

Customers are informed of their selections in real time via an interactive touchscreen, charged the corresponding amount, and provided with a receipt.
