Cantaloupe Inc., a digital payments and software services company that provides end-to-end technology solutions to power self-service commerce, has introduced its Cantaloupe Go self-checkout kiosks and its Smart Store offerings, according to a press release.

The Cantaloupe Go self checkout kiosks include the Go Mini, Go MiniX, Go Plus100, Go Plus200, Go Plus300 and Go Max. The line-up varies in cost, features and payment acceptance capabilities.

The Smart Store line provides a complete point-of-sale solution for customers wanting to extend self-service solutions into semi-public or public settings and marks the first time the Smart Store technology using artificial intelligence and smart locker features are debuting publicly.

The Smart Store lineup includes:

• The Cooler Café, which uses a payment terminal to link up to three connected coolers for buying food and beverage products. Using smart lock technology, The Cooler Café remains locked until payment is processed, and operators can monitor cooler temperature in real-time.
• The Smart Café uses dynamic vision and AI technology to charge the consumer for products they select out of the cooler. Consumers simply present their payment, grab the item and walk away.
• The Smart Market, a completely locked micro market, allows consumers to log into a user account or unlock the market with a credit/debit card. Once the consumer has made their selections, they complete their purchase at the kiosk. The Smart Market is currently available from Cantaloupe in Europe and is being showcased for the first time in the U.S.
